Despite the fact that I'm not a big fan of office-themed series (I've tried office work in the past and totally hated it...the unpleasant working atmosphere, the moronic bosses/colleagues, the constant backstabbing...really not my thing!), still I was drawn in by Yoshitaka Yuriko (who's always excellent imho, and this series is no exception) and by the very interesting premise.
Unfortunately, the series really couldn't live up to it, due to a shallow, poorly-written script. Now, that the complexity of real life must be simplified in order to produce fiction, that's something to be expected of course; but this doesn't mean that oversimplicity is okay! Whoever wrote this totally forgot nuances: everything here is either black or white, and the episodic structure (which would have been totally fine in a, say, crime series, but is instead tremendously out of place in a series which is supposed to be focused on characters' development!) doesn't help at all, quite the opposite. Characters are depicted as bad until the main character / deus ex machina intervenes, and *BANG!*, they're not bad anymore and they can join the forces of Good against the Axis of Evil - made of whoever doesn't agree. I found in this series the shallow, dichotomic, idiotic approach which is so typical of our current Western society (and which I can't stand at all), and that *deeply* annoyed me.
