    • Synopsis
    • Shiori, a young woman aspiring to work as a fashion magazine editor, is hired by the publishing house of erotica for men. There, she finds herself surrounded by salacious photos and indecent language. However, some of Shiori's earlier enthusiasm is regained through editor-in-chief Ms. Sawaki and pornographic actress-cum-columnist Haru; with their help, she develops an interest in erotica that she uses to hone her writing talent. One day a blunder that could spell the company's end tests the limits of Shiori's mental state. Physically exhausted from the high demand of the job, she is subject to one last shock that pushes her close to the edge.
