At 24, Reina Izutsu has just inherited her late father's printing company, Izutsu Printing, becoming the youngest president overnight. Buried in pressure and terrified of messing up, she comes across as harsh to her employees. One stressed-out night, she’s caught drinking beer alone in a park, drunkenly venting her frustrations to the starry sky — and demanding the universe let her quit. But she's not alone: her 37-year-old subordinate, Kenichi Ishizumi, overheard everything. Instead of punishing her, he gets charmed by her honesty and vows to secretly support her.

What the official synopsis doesn't emphasize is how tender and grounded this office romantic comedy is. Written by Zurikishi, the same creator behind "Please Put Them On, Takamine-san," this is a slow-burn workplace manga that thrives on awkward, heartfelt moments. If you’re tired of explosive isekai and want a relaxing seinen story about two lonely adults navigating class and power gaps, this is for you. It’s a secret romance full of soft comedy and genuine character work.

Also known as: Me and the Prez, Drinking Under the Stars, Boss, Booze, and Bright Stars.
