Hataraki Man

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 an even bigger workaholic than Hiroko.
