Introduction: Re: Office Life in a Different World from Zero

The arrival of spring—the season of new encounters.

While most people are filled with anticipation for their new lives, you have no such luxury! As a second-year employee who barely survived your first year in the corporate world, you are stressed, exhausted, and overwhelmed!!

Having been headhunted for a startup team for a major new company project, your frantic, dizzying daily routine has become a bit of a local legend around the office.

You’d love to say the work is going smoothly, but the "elite members" gathered for this project are a group of men who are as difficult as they are talented—!

Buried under a mountain of work, you haven't realized it yet: the magic of a springtime encounter has already been cast upon you!

Character Profiles

Subaru Natsuki (CV: Yusuke Kobayashi) / Co-worker, Sales
"My pops taught me that sales is all about your feet and your smile! Your smile is the best, but mine isn't too shabby either, right?"

The dependable co-worker you feel most comfortable with. He’s the "comrade-in-arms" who helped you push through a first year of work that was so overwhelming your brain nearly short-circuited.

Utilizing his natural proactiveness, guts, and a "critical hit" ability to be adored by his elders, he reportedly threatened the top spot in the Sales Department within his first year. Interestingly, he’s already befriended the current top ace, and the two are often seen chatting happily.

He acts as the "social lubricant" for the new project team, and you truly owe him one. You're planning to take him to his favorite cat cafe soon and yield your "fluffing rights" for the star cat to him.

Otto Suwen (CV: Kohei Amasaki) / Senior, System Engineer
"That look on your face... is it more trouble? I can tell just by looking at you; I know you that well."

The kind senior whom you can never quite repay, as he’s always bailing you out. You’ve known him since your student days and owe him many favors, but since entering the workforce, your "debt" of gratitude has only piled up.

His workaholic nature is famous within the company, leading to rumors that his body is literally plugged into his favorite PC—though, as someone who occasionally takes him out for sports and leisure to clear his head, you know those rumors are baseless.

He is visibly relieved that the new project includes "many familiar faces." You're determined to let him work comfortably and at least pay back the "interest" on your favors bit by bit.

Garfiel Tinzel (CV: Nobuhiko Okamoto) / Junior, Event Planning
"Senior, Senior, where ya headed? Don't tell me ya found someone else to help out, just like ya did with me!"

The adorable junior who looks up to you. He is a sincere, straightforward hard worker who is always impressed by you, shouting "Amazing! Amazing!" Conversely, he is the #1 person (surpassing even your parents) that you absolutely do not want to disappoint.

Armed with free-thinking ideas and a powerful lack of fear regarding failure, he is the "detonator" of the Event Planning Department. Laughter centered around him never ceases in their office, even during heated debates.

Ever since you helped him after a major blunder with a budget, he comes running to you calling "Senior!" at every turn. You’re currently pushing yourself to look cool for him on the project team, but you really need to tell him eventually that eating massive servings of rice after work every single time is getting a bit tough...!

Reinhard van Astrea (CV: Yuichi Nakamura) / Public Relations
"I've been dreaming of you often lately. Are you the 'real' one here? Or... well, I'm happy either way."

The company celebrity who is a complete enigma to you. Because of his looks and excellence, he is the idol of the female staff, but he has a surprising gap in his personality—looking quite innocent when he takes naps on the building rooftop.

He currently works as the "face" of the company in PR, but company history tells of the "Reinhard Rebellion," a war between every department to recruit him during his first year, which he eventually settled with a single smile.

He is a cornerstone of the project team. Perhaps it's because he's finally let his guard down, but you feel like he only shows his vulnerable side to you... maybe. You’ve thought about doodling on his face while he naps as revenge for his perfection, but you're afraid even the doodles would look handsome on him.

Julius Euclius (CV: Takuya Eguchi) / Secretary's Office
"Once this matter is settled, I'd like to have a celebration with everyone. I'd like to choose the cake for it with you."

The highly capable and formidable Presidential Secretary. He’s always catching you running in the hallways and giving you a lecture; his legs are so long you can never escape. You find yourself apologizing for basically being paid to be scolded.

Rumored to be the "Shadow President," he is always moving on a minute-by-minute schedule. However, he always makes time for sweets and is frequently spotted at his favorite pastry shop conquering their latest menu items.

He joins the new project team as an "observer" on behalf of the President. However, as soon as you ask for his opinion, he joins the debate with such enthusiasm that you wonder what happened to his initial plan of "staying at arm's length." Regardless, you’ll be relying on him again today.

Felix Argyle (CV: Yui Horie) / Co-worker, Reception
"Yes, yes! A hug from Ferris-chan to heal your tired heart and body is—believe it or not—totally free right now!"

Your closest and most irreplaceable friend. He once caught you trying to psych yourself up before entering the office one morning, and ever since, you’ve commuted together, sharing both complaints and dreams.

Thanks to his charm and efficiency, he handles the reception desk as the company’s "window." On the days he’s working, the lobby overflows with people from both inside and outside the company just hoping for a quick word with him, turning the area into a mini-festival.

Though he isn't a member of the new project team, his approachable nature means you've been leaning on him a lot lately. He laughs and calls it a "perk of the job," and while you tell yourself not to get too spoiled... you'll let him pamper you just for today so you can work hard again tomorrow.
