About Hataraki Man

Looking for background on Hataraki Man? This comedy, romance and slice of life series by Gallop (2006) starts out like this. What the story covers: Hiroko Matsukata is a woman who works for a magazine company. She puts all she has into her work, and is known as a tough, straight-forward working girl, who can at will turn herself into Hataraki man (working man) mode.

Another thread: Despite Hiroko's success at work, her life lacks romance. Even though a hard worker, she'd leave early anytime to go on a date. Too bad her boyfriend is even bigger a workaholic than Hiroko.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list.
