Synopsis

New secretary Sakura's job at Hiiragi Group becomes complicated when her boss blurs personal and professional boundaries.

Desperately in need to kick start her career amid an unforgiving job market, Osanai Sakura made it through two levels of interviews with Hiiragi Group, a well established real estate company and now in her third and final interview session. She is taken by surprise a bit when she finds herself in a rather awkward interview session with Hiiragi Sousuke, the current president of Hiiragi Group, the only person taking her interview. Some way or other, she manages through the interview and lands a probationary position in the secretarial department. Just as Sakura thinks her life is settling into a new routine, unexpected circumstances involving her family create complications that spill over into her professional life. When she returns home one evening, she finds an expensive Porsche parked in front of her condo - and its owner waiting for her. This encounter marks the beginning of a complicated relationship between the new secretary and her enigmatic boss, where personal and professional boundaries begin to blur in unexpected ways. Included one-shot: Volume 1: Yokujou Sacrifice
