Intro

9:00 AM. The Planning Department office is filled with its usual tense atmosphere today.

The cause is Keigo Kiryu, the 28-year-old who was promoted to manager at a young age. While his work performance is flawless, his cold and merciless way of speaking makes him feared by his subordinates.
