Yui Higashiyama, a director at the web firm Net Heroes, despises overtime due to her work‑aholic father and past disappointments, even ending her engagement to Kotaro Taneda for the same reason. She always leaves on schedule, works efficiently, and unwinds with a beer at her favorite Chinese restaurant—until a new department head arrives and disrupts her routine.
