LIFE. IN. JAPAN. Actually, though...
AggRetsuko, short for "Aggressive Retsuko," is a story about an adorable Sanrio character Retsuko struggling with corporate life in Japan. Stuck at an OL "Office Lady" job under a verbally abusive boss, Retsuko's good girl majime personality renders her a target in the work environment. Exhausted from pent-up stress, her only catharsis is heavy metal.
Think hilarious take on an authentically OL lifestyle combined with cute relatable animal characters. Add some screaming. You've got AggRetsuko.
If you want to know about how life as a shakaijin 社会人 is really like, check this drama out on Netflix! I'm not a huge fan of the ending, but it reflects a cultural mindset I feel is fitting for a Japanese work.
So, all in all, 8/10 ♡
We're just over the hump! Let's look forward to a nice weekend.
Best,
