Hataraki Man · review
A realistic look at a young professional woman's workaholic behavior. If you don't get it, you're probably under 25. But if you’re looking for a character-driven story about the “real world,” this is it. I found the main character incredibly relatable. Hiroko is brash, ambitious, driven, masculine. But despite her mannish communication style, she still feels like a woman, one who doesn't want to be constrained by traditional expectations. She pushes herself much harder than her coworkers, but she's not doing herself any favors when it comes her to relationships with her colleagues or her boyfriend. The progression of her workaholic tendencies plays out much likeit does in real life.
A must-watch for anyone who’s made an identity out of their career.
