How Can a Corporate Drone Like Me Save You, Another Corporate Drone?

Watanabe Hanari has three rules for life:

1. Don’t become a government employee.

2. Don’t work overtime.

3. Don’t date a coworker.

By the time she graduated at twenty, two of her three rules had already fallen apart.

After three years of being worked to the bone, the troublemakers finally left, and Hanari slapped her transfer request down on Taneda Santoka’s desk.

Three months later, she was transferred to Tokyo, to the envy of her coworkers.

Hanari’s reasoning was simple: there couldn’t be a job busier than being a government employee in Yokohama, right?

Then she was assigned to Public Security.

Then she saw the reports filed by her junior colleague.

Hanari: !

“Let me out! I want to go back to Yokohama!”

“Will I even make it to retirement in one piece?”
