Age 29.[1] Editor at Weekly JIDAI.  Akihisa is a mild-mannered reporter in charge of the &quot;food and porn&quot; section of JIDAI. He and Hiroko started working at the magazine around the same time. There is a connection between, though whether this is from similar work ethic, starting their jobs at the same time, or the fact that they're drinking buddies (always initiated by Hiroko) is up for debate.

Hiroko Matsukata is a woman who works for a magazine company. She puts all she has into her work, and is known as a strong, straight-forward working girl, who can at will turn herself into Hataraki man (working man) mode. Despite Hiroko's success at work, her life lacks romance. Even though a hard worker, she'd leave early anytime to go on a date. Too bad her boyfriend is even bigger a workaholic than Hiroko.

This is a set of one-shot stories of working people drawn from the viewpoint of Matsukata Hiroko, who is a 28-year-old single woman and is an editor of Weekly Magazine, JIDAI. She&rsquo;s often at odds with Tanaka Kunio, a novice editor. Her work already stresses her out and he&rsquo;s unapologetic about his own mistakes! Everyone refers to Hiroko as a masculine woman for how seriously she takes her work. She smokes too much, works too much, and never has sex. However, when it&rsquo;s time to get a story done, she switches into &ldquo;Working Man&rdquo; mode where her testosterone in her blood increases, she works three times her normal speed, and all thoughts of life&rsquo;s necessities disappear.
