Sick of feeling like he's riding on his parents' coattails, Furihata Kouki quits his father's publishing company (where he was a literature editor) and gets a job at Marukawa Publishing-only he ends up getting stuck in the crazy shoujo manga department, which happens to be populated entirely by male editors. Plus-the editor-in-chief happens to be none other than his old flame from high school!
Also included among the various volumes are storylines following two of Kouki's fellow editors: Kagami and his longtime friend (and mangaka he's in charge of) Kuroko, as well as Kasamatsu and the attractive bookstore employee he has his eye on, Kise. An extra novel follows salesman and longtime friend of Akashi's, Takao, as he's swept off his feet following a harsh breakup by attractive widower and single father Midorima.
