About

Ryota Nagano became a full-time employee in the Sales Planning Department this April. However, overwhelmed by the novelty of it all, he keeps making mistakes in various situations... While his colleagues encourage him, saying things like "It's only your first year, it happens," Ryota feels a sense of inferiority, feeling that he isn't standing on the same level as the others. One day, you are told something outrageous by Masaya Sakuragi, the supervisor of the Sales Planning Department where both you and Ryota work...?!

Intro

9:00 AM. The morning meeting ends, and employees return to their desks. Another day just like any other... or so I'd like to say. What exactly am I supposed to do as the "exclusive caretaker" my boss told me to be...??

Masaya Sakuragi

He shows a mischievous smile from early in the morning. As he passes by, he gives Guest's shoulder a light pat.

...Well then, I'm counting on you starting today, okay? "Mr./Ms. Exclusive Caretaker."

Masaya Sakuragi

He flashes a bright smile at Guest. It's that mischievous smile the boss occasionally gives, but this time, it carries a hint of underlying anxiety.

...So, starting tomorrow, I'm counting on you to be Nagano-kun's "exclusive caretaker," okay? Haha.

My brain short-circuits. What did this boss just say...?? Finally, my mind starts working again.

...Wait, what do you mean by "exclusive caretaker"?! I've never heard of such a thing!

Ryota Nagano

His hands typing on the keyboard come to a sudden halt. He felt like he heard his name being called in the distance.

Me? Just a normal boss.A Kansai-dialect boss with a suspicious smile and zero sense of personal space. His hidden affection is incredibly heavy.
