    My abusive boss gave me mental stress
    and an ulcer, so I switched jobs.

[00:17] ---
    This is my first day of work.
[00:24] ---
    What if my new boss
    is another abusive person?

[00:30] ---
    This is Kentaro Momose,
    who's starting here today.

    R-Right! My name is Momose.
[00:56] ---
    Nice to meet you!
[00:58] ---
    All right, I'll leave you to it.
[01:01] ---
    So he's working under Manager Shirosaki?
[01:04] ---
    - Mr. Shirosaki, huh?
    - Wow.
[01:09] ---
    What's wrong?
[01:10] ---
    I-It's nothing!
[01:13] ---
    All right, let's go and get you
    introduced to everyone.
[01:16] ---
    Uh, right!
[01:27] ---
    I can't read his expression at all.
[01:30] ---
    If he turns out to be another abusive boss...
[01:34] ---
    This is bad. Stomach pains again...
[01:42] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[01:46] ---
    I have to get back on my feet.
[01:49] ---
    I might get kicked...
[01:57] ---
    He left without me.
[02:00] ---
    I can't move.
[02:02] ---
    Let me just call him and apologize!
[02:05] ---
    Wait, I don't have his contact info yet!
[02:09] ---
    What am I going to do? I was being
    so careful not to disrespect him.

[02:16] ---
    Will I be ordered to grovel again?
[02:19] ---
    Oh, wait, that was my old boss.
[02:22] ---
    But the way things are shaping up,
    this boss could...

[02:25] ---
    It hurts.

    You've got a bellyache, right?
[02:35] ---
    I got you some medicine.
[02:37] ---
    Uh-oh. I'm about to cry.
[02:41] ---
    Thank you so much.

SIGN    EPISODE 01 IT'S A LITTLE CRACKED!!
[05:16] ---
    What am I going to do?
    I don't get how to do this.

[05:21] ---
    If I asked my previous boss something,
[05:23] ---
    he wouldn't answer, and instead, he'd blow up
    and hurl a mouse or pen stand at me.

[05:27] ---
    What's the matter?
[05:29] ---
    Nothing.
[05:30] ---
    But in my new boss's case...
[05:33] ---
    Oh, this is pretty tricky, isn't it?
[05:36] ---
    While saying that, he'd click on my hand,
    thinking it was the mouse.

[05:40] ---
    Hey! Mr. Shirosaki's harassing him!
[05:44] ---
    Whoa! Sorry!
[05:48] ---
    Momose? Sorry about that.
[05:51] ---
    You must've been creeped out,
    having an old guy squeeze your hand.
[05:54] ---
    I'll buy you lunch to make up for it.
[05:56] ---
    No, you don't have to do that.
[05:59] ---
    You were so nice about showing me
    without throwing anything...
[06:02] ---
    I feel like I should be treating you.
[06:05] ---
    Then treat me to a popsicle.
[06:11] ---
    Your old boss...
[06:13] ---
    He would throw things at you?
[06:14] ---
    What? Uh, well...
[06:17] ---
    Oh, man. I accidentally called attention
    to my history of being bullied.

[06:21] ---
    What am I, needy or something?
[06:24] ---
    But to be honest,
    I think I'd like to tell him about it.

[06:29] ---
    Actually, no way!
[06:31] ---
    He'll find out how fragile
    my mental state and stomach still are,

[06:34] ---
    and despise me
    for being a pain in the butt!

[06:37] ---
    I don't want to be hated by my boss again.
[06:40] ---
    Ugh, no sooner did I say that,
    my mental state took a dive.

[06:44] ---
    I need something soothing.
[06:47] ---
    I wish I could watch cat videos.
[06:49] ---
    Cats?
[06:51] ---
    I said that out loud!
[06:53] ---
    So you like cats, huh? So do I.
[06:56] ---
    Oh, look.
    Speak of the devil, there he is.
[06:59] ---
    Mr. Kurono?
[07:00] ---
    Huh? Who's that?
[07:02] ---
    My old boss.
[07:04] ---
    No, there's a cat.
[07:07] ---
    I'll go tame him for you.
[07:09] ---
    Let this adorable cat soothe you,
    so you could enjoy your lunch.

    Kitty, Kitty. I'm not scary, I promise.

    Hey, you.
    You're a gentle, good little cat.
[07:24] ---
    Sorry.

    Oh, no. Now I want to bury my face
    in my boss's shirt.

[10:18] ---
    But that would be beyond weird.

    You seemed a little down, so I thought
    I'd ask you to go for a drink.
[11:02] ---
    I got off at that station, too.
[11:04] ---
    But while I was wondering if you'd rather
    not be invited for drinks with your boss,

    I left my phone at the office.

    It doesn't matter how flashy it is outwardly.
[19:44] ---
    The important thing...
[19:47] ---
    is to make sure that it's beloved by everyone,
    and that it can heal people in its tiny way.

SIGN    PROJECT PROPOSAL
[20:49] ---
    It was really good. You pass.
[20:55] ---
    It's all thanks to you!
    Thank you very much.
[20:59] ---
    No, it was your talent, Momose.
[21:04] ---
    Shirosaki, you've become such a fine boss.
[21:08] ---
    Your Section Chief was quite moved!
[21:12] ---
    Also, Shirosaki,
    I've kept quiet for ten years,

SIGN    I SAW A FLOUNDER
[21:16] ---
    but that photo you sent me
    wasn't a flounder, but a flatfish.

[21:22] ---
    I'd like to give you something to celebrate
    your proposal going through.
[21:25] ---
    What do you want?
[21:26] ---
    That's what my boss asked me, so...
[21:28] ---
    In that case...
[21:30] ---
    That sketch he drew for me
    the other day was cute,

[21:33] ---
    so when I asked him to draw a version of him
    exterminating the demons,

[21:36] ---
    for some reason he gave me a drawing
    of him airing out a futon.

[21:40] ---
    Huh? A futon?
[21:41] ---
    You wanted him
    exterminating fleas, right?
[21:43] ---
    Flea extermination!
[21:45] ---
    My new boss is goofy, after all.
[23:25] ---
    Sorry. I nearly stepped on a dandelion.
[23:28] ---
    Dandelion?
[23:31] ---
    When I stepped around it, I tripped.
[23:33] ---
    It sure is cute.
