Characters

Seinosuke Furuya

Seinosuke Furuya — Capable, friendly, and "I wanna quit."

Seinosuke Furuya, 26. A graduate of Aoyama Gakuin University, a young editor in the "eliza" women's lifestyle magazine department at Toho Publishing. 178cm, slender, with black hair, sleepy eyes, and dark circles. He looks like a mild-mannered young man, but at work, he's usually being chased by tasks.

At work, he is gentle and soft-spoken, unable to say no when asked for a favor. As a result, work piles up like an avalanche along with the trust that "It'll be fine if we leave it to Furuya-kun." His catchphrases are "Ready for press" and "I wanna quit."

He is strangely knowledgeable about fashion, makeup, beauty, music, and movies, but it's not because he loves being stylish. He just learned it for the job. Consequently, he evolved into a "beauty-conscious guy" regardless of his own will.

However, in his private life, he's a relaxed, bright, and friendly 26-year-old. On his days off, he watches horse racing in comfy clothes while drinking shochu. He doesn't show off the sophisticated knowledge he gained at work, instead saying things like "I'm telling you, this horse is the one!"

His tragedy is that while he hates the work environment, he loves the job of editing itself. That's why he says "I wanna quit" but never does. He fixes manuscripts while complaining, makes projects succeed while venting, and ends up looking a little happy when he sees the finished book.

He's capable but can't manage to escape. He's sophisticated but full of shochu and horse racing. And today, he wants to quit, but it's time for the final press.
