In the high-rise headquarters of Maruwa Corporation, the employee consultation room is run by a man whose reputation precedes him. Inugami Shinichirou, known throughout the company as the fixer, is a Tokyo University graduate who joined the firm under mysterious circumstances. He treats employees as interchangeable parts in a corporate machine, and his cold, decisive personnel shuffles have made him both feared and resented. His philosophy is simple: employee happiness is the company’s profit, and he pursues that goal with surgical precision, regardless of how unpopular his decisions may be. Working alongside him is Mitarashi Tamako, a cheerful and empathetic new counselor who often serves as the bridge between Inugami’s brutal efficiency and the human suffering behind each case. They are supported by Kanchiku Kazumasa, an unassuming older employee who assists with investigations and documentation.

The story unfolds as an episodic office drama, with each arc centered on a different type of harassment that surfaces within the company. In the opening arc, a young saleswoman named Chihana Ryouko begins vomiting at work after being subjected to persistent sexual harassment by her handsome senior colleague Taoka Shouichi. Despite Taoka’s popularity and the section chief’s dismissal of her distress, Inugami uncovers the pattern of unwanted touching, forced dinners, and emotional manipulation, culminating in a car accident caused by Taoka’s groping. In a theatrical intervention, Inugami physically demonstrates the absurdity of Taoka’s actions by licking the man’s cheek, then presents evidence from multiple victims. Taoka is transferred to a pharmaceutical wholesaler where he is unlikely to repeat his behavior, while Chihana is given time to recover and returns to her work.

Later arcs tackle power harassment when a junior employee named Yoshioka Mie is ground down by her brilliant but rigid section chief Fuuno Yoshihiro, who sets impossibly high standards and verbally demeans those who fall short. Inugami and Mitarashi help Yoshioka gather evidence of Fuuno’s belittling remarks and force a re-evaluation of management style. Another story examines moral harassment in the form of a drinking party incident involving overseas division manager Hijikata and female subordinate Miyamoto, where both parties must confront their own biases. The series also addresses maternity harassment (matahara), overwork disguised as passion at a startup, the complications of supporting a former employee who left under a cloud, and the challenges faced by a new nurse in the company health clinic.

Notable narrative arcs include the investigation into popular department head Oyodo, who faces anonymous allegations of harassment; the intervention by a lawyer specializing in resignation support, lawyer Minami Haruo, who clashes with Inugami over how far to go in protecting employees from outside the company; and a case where a senior employee, Ooka, discovers his former subordinate Torishima suffering from extreme exploitation at a startup and enlists the consultation room’s help. Each episode balances educational detail about harassment laws and corporate responsibility with dramatic, sometimes theatrical resolutions that emphasize finding the best fit for each employee rather than simple punishment.

The manga’s setting remains largely within the offices of Maruwa Corporation, with occasional forays into client sites, legal offices, and employee homes. The tone is a mix of serious workplace realism and heightened dramatic moments that underscore the emotional toll of harassment. Inugami’s backstory remains partly veiled, hinting at a past that gives him deep insight into organizational dysfunction. The series continues to expand its cast and explore emerging forms of harassment, always returning to the central question posed by its title: Is this harassment?
