This workplace romance josei features two opposites-attract coworkers helping “train” each other to overcome their fear of intimacy.
Rin Narumi, a late-twenties office worker haunted by her past relationship, and Chiaki Shinonome, a man who can barely survive a conversation with a woman, strike a strange—yet undeniably sexy—deal: confront their insecurities through a hands-on “training regimen.”
What begins with hand-holding quickly escalates to hugging—and a whole lot of panicked overthinking—as their awkward “therapy” starts feeling suspiciously less like self-improvement and more like something else.
But just as they make progress, chaos arrives in the form of Hanamori, Shinonome’s starry-eyed junior, who catches them mid-“training” and demands answers.
Is this therapy, romance… or a workplace scandal waiting to happen?!
