Description

At a sweets company in present-day Japan, accountant Masugu Tateishi and product planner Yui Mitsuya have just started dating. Their coworkers think they can’t stand each other, and the two keep their relationship quiet to avoid office gossip. They bicker at work and are much more affectionate in private.

The story begins with a couple already together and follows them through dates, growing intimacy, and the challenge of keeping work and personal life separate. Their coworkers have romances and worries of their own. It is mostly warm and playful, with sexual humor, jealousy, insecurity, and some more serious relationship drama as the series develops. Graphic violence is not a focus.

Pros

  • Dating starts right away, leaving room to explore the relationship.
  • The leads’ chemistry comes through in affectionate everyday moments.
  • Supporting romances give the office cast a life beyond the main couple.

Cons

  • The secrecy can feel forced, especially when Yui acts harshly at work.
  • The gentle, everyday pace can feel uneventful.
