"Shy" + "Lonely" + "Chicken" = Shlocken?! After not leaving his house for several months, Shoutarou Kominami by chance lands a part-time job in an attempt to break free of his less than human existence and "shlocken" personality. But unbeknownst to the former shut-in, his new boss is a manga artist, and Shoutarou is about to become his muse?!

Forced to change jobs after being constantly bullied by his old boss, 26-year-old Momose Kentaro is understandably anxious about what’s in store for him at his new workplace. After all, what if his new boss ends up being just as cruel? However, Momose’s fears vanish once he meets Shirosaki Yuusei, a deadpan yet competent manager who is anything but scary. In fact, he’s actually a little...goofy! Check out the hilarious workplace comedy that inspired the hit anime!

After changing jobs because of his old boss’s bullying, Momose is thriving at his new company thanks in large part to his kind yet airheaded boss, Shirosaki. He’s also made several new friends at work, including the upbeat Kinjou, another employee who took the job due to workplace harassment, and their slightly needy department head, Aoyama. From business trip disasters to more goofy misunderstandings, it’s another volume full of heartwarming slice-of-life shenanigans!
