Kashiwagi, in his 30s, has just moved into a new industry. His brilliant younger boss and mentor, Amamiya, seems a bit uncomfortable interacting with him, an older subordinate. Concerned about their relationship, Kashiwagi waits for an opportunity to have a relaxed conversation with him, but catching up with the very busy Amamiya proves difficult.

What surprising suggestion comes from Amamiya, the capable younger boss...!? (Source: Bunendo, translated)
