Synopsis

Junko Shirakawa is headed for the top of the corporate ladder in the Overseas Investor Department at the bank where she works—until Kayo Kuroda transfers over from Corporate Sales. Kayo is another all-star employee, and she has a foreign university degree to boot. When Kayo and Junko are assigned to work together, their heated rivalry reaches critical mass. Whether they're banging each other's heads or simply banging each other, these two office rivals are ready to go at it!

Personally, I think this work is an absolute masterpiece. I haven't given 10 even to works by my most favorite mangakas very often, but this time, I did. That said, I understand perfectly clear if many people would find this manga weird. This, however, won't ever make me change my mind. And I'll try to explain why.

If you read only the first volume, you will easily wonder, how come this silly thing could make anyone give it a ten. It does look stupid, indeed. A blonde woman and a dark-haired woman, both career-obsessed bastards beyond redemption, resolve their disputes by fighting and having sex at ...

This manga might be the best office drama ever written, though it's very hard to call in a romance or love story in any capacity, even a toxic romance. I would call it something like a "workplace thriller" with a lot of hatefucking.

What appears as the banal spats between two ambitious and callous career ladies who put up a facade of kindness in front of others at first, turns into a engaging struggle full of intrigue, lies, and manipulation. It it does this in a convincing fashion rarely seen in manga and really immerses you in a cutthroat office culture where every slip up is ...

An absolute delight. It's difficult for me to find a manga nearly as unique premise as this one. I didn't quite know what to expect coming in, but what I've found is certainly the most entertaining drama I've ever seen with wonderful artwork at display.

An office setting is quite unique in terms of making a battle arena of both wits and fists between the two leads. The manga's plot is a game of constant back an forth of some of the most cutthroat leads one can imagine. A constant tango of underhanded tactics, such as nepotism, which end up presented in both a positive and ... negative light. That honestly makes it all the more interesting, as it puts the morality of both of them in question a lot more than it could initially seem on the surface. Is a force of good breaking the rules still good? Is evil using a system of rules meant to maintain order still inherently evil? I adore the fact this story managed to occupy so much of the space in between. The core motif of light and darkness can be found in pretty much every little aspect of the narrative and characters and it only serves to elevate every single one of them in the process. Its intrigue is delightfully devilish and the reader is always left on the edge of their seat to see how it will develop and how Shirakawa and Kuroda will one up themselves. The ways their faces can twist into grins that exude pure malice and still remain gorgeous looking truly is a feat of the art style. The visual storytelling, as either through the fight scenes or the shading choices is also hard not to compliment, as every panel feels deliberate and exceptionally thought out.

Even while the manga might on the surface look like material for people with an abuse kink, it quickly proves that it's much more than just some fantasy. It uses abuse, in multiple forms, to thoroughly explore the relationships between its characters. All of their relationships are built on entirely different foundations in terms of genuine emotions and balance of power. It also masterfully uses eroticism in ways that always feel entirely organic to the scenes it appears in. The ways that sex is portrayed, always seemed very tasteful to me, because of much raw emotion the panels manage to convey, which allowed it to escape feeling hollow and just there to satisfy a perverted desire. It works perfectly as a strong narrative device that highlights the strongest moments of the series. It never feels excessive and honestly, sometimes the fight scenes do feel like they are cut a little bit short.

I don't think there would be enough material to make it into an anime series, but perhaps it could be turned into a movie one day. I'd love to see this wonderful story in motion and reach a wider audience! It's really impossible for me not to recommend this, as its story is a wonderful study of the ruthless career oriented world of white collars.
