Plot Summaries:

A yaoi look at what those long salaryman hours are really about: Enomoto-kun is an eager-to-please employee who catches his buchou's fancy. - reviewed by dlr

Remarks:

The first tankoubon is actually a collection of six short stories, four of which feature the Tsuda-buchou x Enomoto-kun pairing. The stories in both volumes of this series are episodic (and highly repetitive). Just when it looks as if Enomoto-kun is growing comfortable with his relationship with the boss, Tsuda-buchou finds more potentially embarrassing sexual positions... The second volume contains an amusing twist on this series' usual jealousy theme: the new coworker that tries to come between Tsuda and Enomoto imagines himself as seme to the boss. Warnings: Tsuda is a raping seme who loves his uke. Shota-alert (Tsuda's fascination with Enomoto's young brother is only a punchline, but its not for the shota-squeamish). Kamo-sensei concludes both volumes with amusing atogaki (extras) featuring interaction among the characters in the various short stories. - reviewed by dlr
