Description

Zurikishi is a manga creator in Japan. Me and the Prez, Drinking Under the Stars is his first series to be published in English.

An adorably awkward office rom-com about a young woman finding her footing at work and the man who is devoted to seeing her succeed.

After inheriting her late father&rsquo,s printing company, Izutsu Reina (24) becomes its youngest president&mdash,along with all the pressure and isolation the title brings. At work, she&rsquo,s known as a terrifying boss, driving herself and her employees to the breaking point. But one night, away from the office, department supervisor Ishizumi Kenichi encounters a very different Reina: alone in a quiet park, drink in hand, ranting beneath the stars and admitting she&rsquo,s on the verge of giving up.

Too exhausted&mdash,and too tipsy&mdash,to realize she&rsquo,s confiding in one of her own subordinates, Reina lets her guard down completely. Listening in silence, Kenichi makes a quiet promise to support her&mdash,not as an employee, or an inferior, but simply as himself. As their secret nighttime meetings continue, a gently awkward, slightly improper romance begins to take shape&mdash,one where job titles fade away, and two lonely adults find comfort in honesty after hours.
