From Zero to Office Romance

Akari is the picture of professional success—highly competent at her job, strikingly beautiful, and blessed with an impeccable sense of style. Yet beneath this polished exterior lies a closely guarded secret: she is approaching thirty and has never been intimate with anyone. Her carefully maintained life is thrown into disarray when Shinomiya, a handsome new department chief, assumes leadership of her team. Arrogant and condescending from the very start, he immediately asserts his authority over her, declaring that as his subordinate, she must follow his every command. The two clash instantly, setting the stage for a deeply antagonistic working relationship. The tension reaches its breaking point during Shinomiya’s welcome party. Attempting to drown her mounting frustrations in alcohol, Akari drinks far too much and blacks out entirely. When she finally regains consciousness the following morning, she is stunned to discover her abrasive new boss stepping out of her own bathroom, half-naked. This shocking revelation catapults Akari into an unexpected and highly comedic office romance, forcing her to navigate the complicated dynamic between herself and her callous superior.
