Sometimes, when life is hard, you just need a "friend."
Working at a game company, Rihito Otsuka (23), is a "normal" guy who is a steady presence on and off the job. Noa Saotome (27) is a "hard-core" woman who likes to go all out at everything she does. Two people who usually wouldn't get along become "friends" by chance...? The is the start of a workplace "friendship" comedy that's a little sweet but also a little heavy!
