Description:

Kishibe Midori, a 25-year-old professional, works in the editorial department of a popular fashion magazine at a large publishing company. Her career takes an unexpected turn when the magazine is abruptly cancelled by its parent company. Midori then finds herself transferred to a completely different world: the dictionary editing department.

Initially, Midori struggles to adapt to her new workplace, navigating a team filled with distinctive personalities. She faces challenges and feels out of place among her dedicated colleagues. However, as time passes, Midori becomes deeply inspired by the unwavering persistence and enthusiasm of those around her, who have diligently spent over a decade compiling a single dictionary. This exposure allows Midori to discover a newfound attractiveness in the words she works with daily, eventually developing a strong sense of pride and self-fulfillment in her demanding yet rewarding new role.
