*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.
**[00:35] ---**
I hope you all work well together.
***SIGN*** KENTARO MOMOSE (AGE 26)
**[00:37] ---**
I'm looking forward to working here!
**[00:41] ---**
Shirosaki, look after him, will you?
**[00:46] ---**
*So this is my new boss?*
***SIGN*** YUSEI SHIROSAKI (AGE 34)
**[00:51] ---**
My name is Shirosaki. Nice to meet you.
**[00:54] ---**
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.*
**[02:32] ---**
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.
**[02:43] ---**
*Though it's my stomach, not my belly.
But any medicine would work on...*

*Menstrual pain?! This is the one thing
that probably won't work.*
**[02:52] ---**
Sorry.
**[02:53] ---**
You sank to your knees
all of a sudden, so I panicked.
**[02:57] ---**
I ended up buying what I always got
when my ex-girlfriend had a tummy ache.
***SIGN*** BLUSH
**[03:04] ---**
Oh, uh, sorry!
**[03:06] ---**
Don't get me wrong.
You were being cute, and...
**[03:09] ---**
*Whoa, calling my boss cute is rude, too!*
**[03:13] ---**
Um, do you think we could
exchange contact information?
***SIGN*** CHANGED THE SUBJECT
**[03:17] ---**
Oh, right, forgot about that.
**[03:21] ---**
Wait, how do you do it again?
**[03:24] ---**
Oh, what's your screen like now?
**[03:27] ---**
Huh? The screen?
**[03:31] ---**
It's a little cracked.
**[03:32] ---**
A little cracked?
**[03:35] ---**
*My new boss turned out to be goofy.*
**[05:12] ---**
*My abusive boss gave me mental stress
and an ulcer, so I switched jobs.*
***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.
**[07:13] ---**
Kitty, Kitty. I'm not scary, I promise.
**[07:16] ---**
Hey, you.
You're a gentle, good little cat.
**[07:24] ---**
Sorry.
**[07:26] ---**
It was a tree.
**[07:28] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[07:29] ---**
I'm not laughing.
**[07:31] ---**
*My boss is so cute, it's therapeutic.*

*Both his eyes and the lid are closed!*
**[07:47] ---**
Let me!
**[07:48] ---**
Excuse me.
**[07:53] ---**
Now just...
**[07:54] ---**
*If I tell him to go pachi-pachi,
I just know he's going to applaud.*

**[08:03] ---**
*That was the least scariest abuse

Which should I get?
**[08:13] ---**
I'll have this Karigari-kun.
**[08:15] ---**
I-Is that right?
**[08:18] ---**
*My goodness.*
**[08:19] ---**
*My new boss is goofy.*
**[08:21] ---**
Yes?
**[08:22] ---**
These documents...
**[08:24] ---**
*He's the type who twirls around so hard,
he actually comes full circle.*
**[08:28] ---**
*But he's won tons of ad proposal contests,*
**[08:31] ---**
*and he's always winning
in-house awards.*

About this item, instead of the conversion rate,
you should show the number of page views.
**[08:38] ---**
*He's super competent.*
**[08:41] ---**
I went all the way around again.
**[08:44] ---**
*This difference is so...*
**[08:46] ---**
*Now I just have to aggregate the data.*
**[08:48] ---**
*I'll have to do OT.*
**[08:49] ---**
Momose, I got my work done early,
so I've already tallied it all up.

Sorry for the handwritten memo.

It's this one.
**[09:04] ---**
*Meat and potato stew for dinner tonight?*
**[09:09] ---**
*Thanks to my boss, I'm leaving
on time for the first time ever.*
**[09:13] ---**
Lots of student at this time of day.
**[09:16] ---**
You're right.
**[09:17] ---**
It brings back memories
of my school days.
**[09:20] ---**
That's true.
**[09:21] ---**
It makes me want to meet up
with my classmates.
**[09:24] ---**
I wonder how old everyone is now?
**[09:30] ---**
*I hope they're the same age as him.*
**[09:37] ---**
*This guy's wearing
the same cologne as my old boss.*
**[09:41] ---**
*The smell is bringing back memories of hell.*
**[09:46] ---**
Momose, you're crushing me.
**[09:49] ---**
Sorry! That cologne...
**[09:51] ---**
Cologne?
**[09:53] ---**
*The guy next to me will hear us.*
**[09:56] ---**
Uh, actually...
**[09:57] ---**
I was wondering what you've got on.
It, uh, smells really nice.
**[10:04] ---**
FurPur.
**[10:05] ---**
*Fabric softener!*
**[10:07] ---**
*Your FurPur is so soothing.*
**[10:12] ---**
*My old boss's cologne is horrible.*
**[10:14] ---**
*Oh, no. Now I want to bury my face
in my boss's shirt.*
**[10:18] ---**
*But that would be beyond weird.*
**[10:22] ---**
Manager, I'll be getting off at the next stop.
**[10:24] ---**
What? But it's two stops before.
**[10:26] ---**
I thought I'd get some exercise by walking.
**[10:29] ---**
Very admirable.
**[10:33] ---**
If you'll excuse me...
**[10:38] ---**
Momose!
**[10:43] ---**
*I was able to leave work on time,
but I feel awful.*
**[10:47] ---**
*I think I'll buy some FurPur
on my way home.*
***SIGN*** MANAGER SHIROSAKI
**[10:52] ---**
Yes? This is Momose.
**[10:54] ---**
*Hello? Where are you?*
**[10:56] ---**
What?
**[10:57] ---**
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,*
**[11:09] ---**
*I got stuck in the doors
and lost sight of you.*
**[11:13] ---**
*I totally feel better now, but...*
**[11:16] ---**
I'd like to go!
**[11:17] ---**
*Glad to hear it.*
**[11:19] ---**
Then let's meet up at a bar around here.
**[11:22] ---**
Do you know a good place?
**[11:23] ---**
Yes. Behind the shopping street...
**[11:26] ---**
Oh, should I meet you where you are?
**[11:29] ---**
No, this place may be unfamiliar,
but I've got my smartphone, so...
**[11:34] ---**
*I left my phone at the office.*
**[11:36] ---**
I think you're using it right now,
since you're talking to me.
**[11:41] ---**
*After that, my boss got unbelievably lost.*
**[11:45] ---**
Manager?
Do you know where you are right now?
**[11:49] ---**
*No, actually...*
**[11:51] ---**
What do you see in front of you?
**[11:53] ---**
Huh? A bright red sunset.
**[11:57] ---**
It's really pretty.

**[12:17] ---**
I'm very sorry that I was late!

The train got held up, right?
I just got here, too.
**[12:24] ---**
Please take this.
**[12:29] ---**
*Manager Shirosaki, I would like
to deeply apologize for being late today.*
**[12:34] ---**
*I should've left the house earlier
just in case the train would stop working.*
**[12:39] ---**
I'll get back to work now.
**[12:41] ---**
Oh, sure.
**[12:46] ---**
*He sure looked surprised.
Was it the way I wrote it?*
**[12:49] ---**
Morning. Not everyone's here yet, right?
**[12:52] ---**

was excellent again.

***SIGN*** MITSUO AOYAMA (AGE 39)
**[13:50] ---**
I thought if I set if off when a proposal
went through, it would boost motivation.
**[13:55] ---**
It did go up. That's a wonderful idea.
**[13:59] ---**
All right, then,
can we have a meeting about it?
**[14:02] ---**
Of course!
**[14:06] ---**
Come to think of it, I've never once
had a proposal go through.
**[14:11] ---**
Is that right?
**[14:15] ---**
Well, I did have some
torn up right in front of my eyes.
**[14:19] ---**
But there's no need to tear them up.
**[14:21] ---**
That's awful, you know.
**[14:23] ---**
Oh, sorry to get all gloomy.
**[14:26] ---**
But I'm too scared to submit a proposal.
***SIGN*** A FEW DAYS LATER
**[14:30] ---**
Do you have a minute?
**[14:31] ---**
Yes.
**[14:32] ---**
We've received a request
for an ad from an aquarium.
**[14:35] ---**
Momose, why don't you try
making a proposal?
**[14:40] ---**
The first proposal that I got approved
was for an aquarium.
**[14:44] ---**
What?
**[14:45] ---**
When I was a new hire, my proposals
never seemed to go through.
**[14:49] ---**
So when they gave me the aquarium job,
I really panicked.
**[14:54] ---**
I would stop by the aquarium every day
after work, hoping I'd get some good ideas.
**[15:02] ---**
Then the Section Chief,
who couldn't just watch anymore...
**[15:05] ---**
*You don't have to panic.
If you like, you can consult me any time.*
**[15:10] ---**
*So don't struggle with this all by yourself.
It'll be okay.*
**[15:13] ---**
*But if you start to flounder,
just let me know.*
**[15:17] ---**
I was so touched
by the Section Chief's thoughtfulness.
**[15:21] ---**
A little too touched, because I misread
the last line of the email.
***SIGN*** I FOUND A FLOUNDER.
**[15:30] ---**

**[15:43] ---**
I used to be like that back then,
so even if you mess up, it'll be okay, too.
**[15:49] ---**
Just relax and write that proposal.
**[15:52] ---**
*His ears are bright red.*
**[15:54] ---**
*My manager told me
that embarrassing story for my sake.*

If there's anything you need help with,
ask me anytime.

*An ad project for an aquarium this big?
I wonder if I can handle it.*
**[16:54] ---**
You really think a proposal like this
could get approved?
**[16:57] ---**
An ad that's flashier, more flamboyant,
impactful, and will grab everyone's attention.
**[17:01] ---**
Don't you have something like that?

When I was in high school, my mother

A dinosaur's?

I just remembered that she said that.
**[18:13] ---**
Dinosaur eggs...
**[18:16] ---**
Speaking of dinosaur eggs, when I was a kid,
I thought that gas tanks were dinosaur eggs.
**[18:23] ---**
They're going to eat me!
**[18:25] ---**
So every time I saw a gas tank,
I'd burst out sobbing, I hear.

**[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.
