Momoko, who dreams of becoming an illustrator, finds employment in an ultra fast-paced office that specializes in designing pachinko parlors!! With the office running a yazuka-like business and employing a designer, who has a habit of suddenly stripping in the middle of the night, Momoko believes that the company employees are a bit... no, definitely eccentric!! She continues pulling all-nighters, unable even to return home... And in the midst of cigarette-filled fumes, where women's authority takes a step back, she asks herself, "Why am I here?" -
Un josei protagonitzat per una jove il·lustradora que aterra en una empresa de disseny de pachinkos amb un ambient laboral insuportable, inhumà i del tot esclavitzant. Per culpa de les hores extres i jornades d'empalmada gairebé no trepitja el pis del seu xicot i quan ho fa l'enxampa amb una noia més jove, amb la qual cosa ho deixa estar. Més tard s'interessa per un treballador del mateix edifici, però hi ha algun problema de comunicació, malentesos, reaparicions estel·lars de l'ex i separacions doloroses. Al llarg de tota la sèrie la noia es debat entre deixar la feina i oblidar-se de tot/tothom o seguir una mica més, però en el darrer volum quan la dicotomia és entre l'amor i l'oficina... Un altre gerro d'aigua freda a l'altura de Tokyo Girls, vol. 1... per què serà que les dones treballadores al Japó no surten mai ben parades? :/ Resposta: el puto patriarcat.
Momoko wanted to resign but could not. Because she did not have any time for other activities due to her OT, her boyfriend cheated on her. And even if she saw him with OW, she did not feel anything at all. I can relate to that haha - the feeling of being so busy and absorbed with your work and you feel tired always and somehow feel numb towards other things.
Then she met another co-worker from different department and became a friend to him. He was older - I think 10 years older something? not sure - and she fell in loved with him. But her heart was broken for the second time. . The Hero was kind and kinda cute but what he did to her pissed me a great time.
I liked the department of Momoko: they were supportive of her especially during her heartbreak. (It really reminded me of how my colleagues supported me during my heart break too - - ).
I am both physically and mentally tired but if I sleep, I know I'll waste another night not studying. This is light-hearted and cute, perfect for winding you down.
It's basically a slice of life at an ad company. You get to enjoy different interactions between coworkers and look at someone else's problems for a change.
Sendo sincera não gostei muito dessa descoberta de que o boy é casado. Preferia que ele não fosse já que estou aqui torcendo pela felicidade de nossa heroína e esse empecilho é só mais uma pedra no caminho.
I have liked this more than the first volume. The awareness of suffering for the lost love and the happiness for the new one.. Well written and developed.
