Shachou to Sake to Hoshi

At twenty-four, Reina Izutsu inherits her family’s printing business following her father’s sudden passing. Thrust into the president’s chair, the weight of responsibility quickly turns her tense and sharp—so much so that her staff tread carefully around her, none more so than Kenichi Ishizumi, a reserved thirty-seven-year-old senior supervisor. One evening, worn out and slightly unsteady from drink, Reina sits in a quiet park and lets slip, “That’s it—I’m done being everyone’s boss.” Unbeknownst to her, the man beside her is one of her own employees. Beneath the dim starlight, he says nothing, yet silently resolves to stay by her side.
