How do you open yourself for the world, for the people around yourself?
I think this is the question 3 a.m. Dangerous Zone looks to explore, in an corporative ambient, with a young woman who just found a job that she didn't enjoy at first glance but, and here is just me thinking, the sociability around it that molds her into open her mind to the oportunities around it. And that, is what make this mangá, an amazing one. It's a simple, ordinary history about a woman sttrugling to stay in her new job as looking to keep a new romantic relationship thanks to the building ... where she workrs, but is one that diverges into singularity when it speaks about this single being called Momoko.

And it's fun to be by her side in this short journey.
It's fun because she mature herself thanks to the insuferable job she's in, and it shows when she starts saying a single phrase she use to see in the corporal language of her coorkers abour herself.

"Take your job seriously."

i have to be serious, this manga changed my life lol
while i read it i became really fixated in the job the mc had and after that i started to learn more about graphic design and arts and stuff like that
as someone that had a big prejudice against this area, this manga changed my view of it
and i started studying in an art school!!! although im not doing graphic design because i discovered i didnt really like it, im doing sculptures and ceramic stuff as well as drawing, which i became fairly good at it!!
so yeah, if i had not read this manga i ... probably wouldnt have entered arts and wouldnt be as happy as i am now! (since i would probably have choosen anything history related) i re read this today, after 2/3 years and after i have forgotten even the name of this and went into reddit to try to find it, and i am extremely grateful for it!!!!
i dont remember where i got the recomendatiob but i wish i did,,,
thats it, if youre reading this, thank you!!!

"I got the job, Mano-san is quitting, and a new person will take her place. The office is like a creature whose cells continually regenerate."

I read this bittersweet manga at precisely the right time, as like the protagonist, I have just begun my first post-university job and the quest of finding value and meaning in an office workplace. What this manga really nails is the feeling of a 'nice' workplace - Occasional interesting tasks and friendly coworkers making up for a lack of personal investment, as well as the feeling of an entire support system emerging from where you're bound to spend most of your ... week. Early on, the protagonist is berated by one of her older coworkers, who tells her :"don't look down on your work!" (if only out of respect for her other coworkers!). I think this is a message that I will take away from this manga and carry with me for a while.

Otherwise, the tone and plot are funny, sweet, charming. I don't read much josei but this series has convinced me to branch out.

Overall grade: 7.5
