Synopsis

Hiroko Matsukata is a woman who works for a magazine company. She puts all she has into her work, and is known as a strong, straight-forward working girl, who can at will turn herself into Hataraki man (working man) mode. 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.

Characters/Development
Begining with the flow of things, it was done quite well within the eleven episodes there are of the show. Each one basically focuses onto certain problems the characters must deal with, or a certain task set that needs to be done and the issues that arise while doing so. The characters emotions and hardships of work are displayed during these times, and also focuses on some of their lifes out of work. Some of the character development is done through thoughts, showing off their stress during work or sometimes questioning themselves why they actually work so hard.

Often the slice of life genre has been branded as for those who like it, relaxing, and as for others, boring. As so this is true, garnished with drama, and you’ll get the usual slice of life which others love and vice versa. Clichéd as the masses view it, it is very unlikely to be pathetic, as it always seemed to be successful. As that might be the case, there are still those titles which skip on the melodrama, and simply strives on being real. Hataraki Man is one of those.

Recommendations

both are realistic josei about life in the big city for women on their way up and all the complications, romance, and comedy that goes with it........
both anime explores the lives of writers/editors in a weekly magazine. while Bakuman is about teenage writers (guys), Hataraki Man is about a late 20's woman. Both explores the hardships of deadlines, writer's blocks and how it affect their personal lives. Comedy is of course a plus. Bakuman has the romance going for it while Hataraki is the opposite.
