Drama. manga publishing business, ganbarimasu!, female lead, mixing comedy and serious issues

Once, there's an interested glance from one character towards the female lead, but nobody else ever notices it, and it's never spoken of.

My review.

Drama. supernatural, SF, theological themes this dramas tries to do it all

"gives censored Chinese BL vibes" as someone said, but it's really all the viewers decision to see something or not.
