Murakami is struggling to handle his unsociable subordinate, Mizuki. After consulting a colleague, he receives an unusual piece of advice: love management. The idea is to make Mizuki fall for him to motivate him at work, a plan Murakami doubts will work. Still, hoping to at least become better friends, he actively tries to close the distance between them. Just when Murakami believes he has finally earned Mizuki's trust and loyalty, the situation takes an unexpected turn. Instead of a grateful subordinate, Murakami finds himself pinned down as Mizuki tells him to stop teasing. The story follows Murakami as his attempt to manage his difficult subordinate leads to a complete reversal of expectations. This workplace manga is set in a contemporary office where the relationship between the beleaguered boss and his troublesome employee shifts dramatically. The narrative arc begins with Murakami seeking solutions from a peer, progresses through his earnest but misguided attempts at friendship, and culminates in being overpowered by the very person he sought to control.
