Hiroko Matsukata is the main lead of Hataraki Man.  She smokes too much, works too much, and never has sex. However, when it's time to get a story done, she switches into &quot;Working Man&quot; mode where her testosterone in her blood increases, she works three times her normal speed, and all thoughts of life's necessities disappear. 

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.
