Hataraki Man

from entropy: 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’s often at odds with tanaka kunio, a novice editor. her work already stresses her out and he’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’s time to get a story done, she switches into “working man” mode where her testosterone in her blood increases, she works three times her normal speed, and all thoughts of life’s necessities disappear.
