■Story The protagonist, "Ryuichi Hiraga" (name change possible), graduates from university this spring and starts his first year as a working adult at a mid-sized electronics manufacturer. As a newcomer in the sales department, he is being trained by his boss but is enjoying fulfilling days. His girlfriend since student days, "Ami Kisaragi," has also secured a job at a major restaurant chain and they are happily spending a brief respite together before her training begins. As time passes, they find it harder to meet each other due to their new jobs, and their meetings decrease. Nevertheless, they frequently communicate through emails and phone calls, and during occasional holidays, they go on dates, strengthening their relationship… or so they thought. As their dates continue, Ryuichi begins to feel an inexplicable sense of discomfort. The conversations increasingly revolve around praises for her company and boss, and Ami often cuts their dates short due to her boss's summons. Still, Ryuichi admires Ami's seriousness and dedication to learning her job, and he focuses on saving money for their future together. One day, Ryuichi happens to come across a video that has been trending online. It shows the employee training at her company, with comments like "This company is overdoing it, lol." At first, he watches it with amusement, but then he feels his face freeze when he sees Ami, tearful, loudly reciting the company's motto… ■Characters 【The protagonist who secretly supports Ami】 ● Ryuichi Hiraga He graduated from university this spring and started his first job at a mid-sized electronics manufacturer. As a newcomer in the sales department, he is being trained by his boss but enjoys fulfilling days. He is in a relationship with Ami Kisaragi, with marriage in mind, and they hope to live together once they both get used to their jobs. Since starting work, they have found it difficult to align their schedules, and their dates have significantly decreased. However, they still frequently communicate via email, phone, and social media. He was popular among friends of both genders during his student days, but in terms of romance, he has repeatedly ended up with "nice guys." Ami is his first girlfriend, and she is also his first sexual partner. While they used to have sex frequently when they first started dating, the frequency has settled down after more than three years together. Nevertheless, he believes their love has not diminished. He has seen the negative rumors about the "Izakaya AKIRA" group where Ami got a job, but he genuinely supports her for landing a job at a famous company. "Ami, don’t you think you’ve only been talking about work and your boss lately…?" 【The serious and earnest girlfriend working at a major company】 ● Ami Kisaragi (CV: Mei Gion) She has been dating the protagonist since their university days. She got a job at the famous restaurant chain "Izakaya AKIRA" and works hard as a member of the product development department. Ami is serious, responsible, and finds joy in completing her assigned tasks, even taking on work that others dislike. Her dedication catches the attention of her superiors, leading her to participate in a training program aimed at cultivating future leaders. There, she undergoes various training sessions that amount to brainwashing, becoming indoctrinated into the company’s ideology. Before dating the protagonist, she had no romantic experience, and he was her first partner. She is satisfied with their sexual relationship and has strong feelings for him. "The president is amazing... I can do anything for him...!" 【The charismatic company president of a major corporation】 ● Akira Yoshida The founder of the "Izakaya AKIRA" group, he is a shrewd president who raised the company to prominence in one generation. His infamous sayings have been compiled into quotes circulating online. While he publicly claims that "employees are family," he secretly views them as mere disposable resources, always thinking about how to hire them cheaply. He harbors strong misogynistic beliefs, particularly the notion that "women can't work," and assumes it is natural for women to contribute sexually to the company. He took a liking to Ami during her interview and extends his manipulative hand to train and brainwash her into becoming his ideal woman. "You won't rise to the top if you think a day has only 24 hours." 【The handsome employee who loves womanizing】 ● Sou Yagisawa A handsome employee working in the same department as Ami. He often acts carefree but is diligent in his work, and Ami sees him as a reliable senior. Although he pretends to be indoctrinated into the company’s ideology, he actually takes a step back and mocks employees who are fanatically devoted to the president. A natural womanizer, he makes it a life goal to take advantage of female employees who have been brainwashed by the company. "This is all part of your education." 【The macho-minded sports-oriented store manager】 ● Shigetaka Takahashi The store manager of the chain restaurant where Ami undergoes training. He has a macho mindset typical of sports enthusiasts, often saying "Don't be soft." Power harassment and sexual harassment are commonplace, and he has a knack for exploiting the weaknesses of part-time staff, leading most to suffer in silence. He has been secretly tasked by Yoshida to train Ami, teaching her the ins and outs of "sexual customer service." He also has a gambling addiction, resulting in significant debt, which leads him to embezzle from the store’s profits. "I'm doing this to help you become a full-fledged employee!" 【The cunning psychiatrist who manipulates hypnosis】 ● Kaname Hebizawa A psychiatrist at a mental health clinic visited by Ryuichi, who is worried about Ami's unusual behavior. He offers kind and sincere support, suggesting treatment for Ami's hypnotic state. He is the one who uncovers the root cause of her abnormal behavior: "brainwashing by the company." However, his true nature is that of a scoundrel who misuses hypnosis for treatment, ensnaring his patients in his grasp. He takes advantage of Ami's trance state during therapy to indulge in her body and satisfy his own desires. "Rescuing someone from brainwashing requires time and effort. We must not rush this." 【The cheerful and sociable best friend of the protagonist】 ● Tetsuo Takamine A friend of Ryuichi and Ami since university. After graduation, he got a job at a cosmetics company and is doing his job adequately as a salesperson. He prioritizes his personal life over work and is active in group dates, but currently has no steady girlfriend. He occasionally checks on Ami's training at the restaurant, but his connection to her is instead exploited by the president and manager. "Haha! You two have always been lovey-dovey since back in the day!" 【The timid and demure new employee from a wealthy background】 ● Moeka Tateyama (CV: Momoka Sakura) A new employee who comes for training at "Izakaya AKIRA" just before graduating from university. She has a quiet personality and lacks the mental strength that Ami possesses. Having been raised in a wealthy family, she is weak against mental pressure and falls prey to the president and Yagisawa's manipulations. "I admire seniors like Ami who are beautiful and skilled at customer service!"
