Description

Bullied at work and dumped by her boyfriend for being “suffocating,” Natsuko loses her confidence, gives up on her dream of being a web designer, and returns to her hometown. Keeping her distance from both “work” and “love,” she lets herself drift through a listless daily life—until one day, she stops in front of a job ad recruiting web designers. A young man she meets by chance there gently gives her a push. That young man turns out to be Ryo, the boy who used to live next door—now 10 years younger than her. Reunited, she discovers he is a university student and at the same time a cool‑headed, highly capable department head, someone even the company president respects. Yet in front of Natsuko, Ryo shows a straightforward, puppy‑like side befitting his age, clinging to her and desperately trying to win her over—an unexpectedly adorable contrast to his elite persona. As the confidence she lost to workplace bullying slowly returns under his devoted affection, Natsuko begins to move forward again— A restart office romance about an age‑gap couple.
