Another show I’m watching is “Shachiku OL Chiemaru Nikki” starring Tina Tamashiro as a clueless newbie Chieko Tsukimaru trying to learn the ropes at her new Marketing Job while dealing with indifferent colleagues and a screamy outlandish Boss (Yusuke Hirayama)!
Though she had dreams of becoming one of the svelte working set, her meek attitude and overbearing supervisors have instead made her into a veritable corporate slave!
This is another one of those 10 minute long shows comprised of about 15 chapters which have become popular lately. Couldn’t work for a serious drama, but for a lighthearted comedy like this one, it’s just about perfect!
Below: Chieko doesn't know with Omiyage, you’re supposed to only take one, AHAHAHA
As you all know well, I ADORE Tina Tamashiro since her stint as the gentle train otaku Michiko in Tetsu Ota Michiko 2 man Kiiro, and somehow this drama has the same vibe since we spend most of the time just following Chieko bumbling through her work days and lamenting her bad decisions as she walks home each day. VERY cute!
Of course, each episode ends with Chieko looking optimistically for the next day in hopes of someday getting a HANG of this thing called work!
A perfect show for the Tina Tamashiro fan....
