Sypnopsis
Tokura Wataru is a salaryman working on the Planning and Development Division’s TV shopping programme. However, in a strange turn of events, he is suddenly assigned to be the assistant chief of a local customer call centre unit handling complaints when he gets in the bad graces of Nankyoku Aisu, the “charismatic and formidable shopping navigator”. Each person in the unit is an unconventional character such as Aoyama Kyoko, a contract employee though she has the nickname “Queen of customer complaints”. Feeling that there is something wrong with the approach of the call centre which disregards the company manuals, Tokura pores over the manuals thoroughly and tries to think of ideas for improvement in his bid to be reinstated at the head office. Problems erupt from Wataru’s first day and he finds himself facing various customer complaints. Though at first he struggles in his new position but he soon finds love in his work.
