Preliminary (11/12 eps)
We have a simple story at the beginning, something that could even be classified as cliché but at the same time really tender . But as soon as you finish the first episode you see that no, this series is not just about romance as we are used to seeing. It deals with issues such as the aspirations of each, personal ego, the work situation of editors and mangakas and give us an insider's view, which is certainly up to workaholism , the perception of people in terms of family conveniences and constant effort not to harm anyone and do your job properly .

Other secondary couples continue to show this world from different perspectives and help to understand it even more, either as: a salesman, a mangaka and his assistants, the editors....

In short they show how Japanese people and their industry are in the work environment.

Let's start with the main character Onodera, he doesn't give up at any time if he has to work overtime to improve or help others he will do it without hesitation, he has a big heart and a lot of ambitions respecting himself.

His partner in turn is very good at his job with his great business perception and experience, just like Onodera he tries to help everyone as much as possible but in a more discreet way. On the other hand this character has some situations that I dislike turning out to be someone very toxic and that bother me as they don't hit him and it seems the only way the author finds to make romantic moments and this is that he forces Onodera sometimes and touches him or kisses him without his consent . At least Onodera reacts and runs away like a normal person or hits him in self defense.

Situations like this should never be romanticized and in that sense the protagonist acts well most of the time. It's totally normal for him to feel confused since, he has to struggle with the trauma this one left him but, the other still doesn't make any sense for him to do such aberrations and more so if he really loves him since the first thing is mutual respect.
