Harassment ga Kowai Maki-senpai!

Maki Ishikawa is the picture-perfect editor-in-chief. Competent, compassionate, and universally respected by her coworkers, she embodies everything an ideal boss should be. Yet behind closed doors, she harbors a secret that threatens to unravel her professional composure: an overwhelming infatuation with her junior colleague, Nodoka Minami. Every time Minami flashes a bright smile and cheerfully declares how much she relies on her senior, Maki feels her sanity slipping further away. Despite her deep desire to grow closer to Minami, Maki is paralyzed by her own sense of responsibility. As a superior in the workplace, every innocent impulse becomes a source of agonizing anxiety. She desperately wants to ask for Minami’s phone number or invite her out to lunch, but she is terrified that such gestures might cross the line into harassment. The thought of abusing her authority sickens her, leaving her trapped in a cycle of overthinking and quiet desperation. Caught between her strict professional ethics and her rapidly growing affection, Maki finds herself quietly losing her mind. She yearns for a genuine connection—perhaps even something more than friendship—but wonders who could ever accept a boss burdened by such tender feelings.
