Hataraki Man

Hataraki Man

Just a quick note about Hataraki Man, a 2006 anime about Hiroko Matsukata, a pretty, modern, workaholic 28-year-old woman editor of the fictional Japanese weekly magazine Jidai, and her furtive, desperate attempts to keep her work and life balanced. Unfortunately, because she and her boyfriend are such workaholics, usually, life gets the short-end of the stick. Hataraki Man would’ve gotten my nod for a Top 10 but it’s technically a 2006 entry and I just learned about it this year. It’s 11 episodes, and so it’s a quick watch, comparatively speaking. Because it’s a relatively small series and target market, it’ll likely never get picked up by any of the big houses here, so I’m glad it’s available and really well done by a fansub group.
