Hataraki Man

Matsukata Hiroko is a 28-year-old editor, who puts all she has into her work, and is known as a strong, straightforward working girl.

She smokes too much, works too much, and never has time to eat anything other than junk food.

However, when it is time to get a story done, she switches into Working Man mode where she works three times her normal speed, and all thoughts of life's necessities disappear.

Despite Hiroko's success at work, her life lacks romance.

Too bad her boyfriend is an even bigger workaholic than herself.
