| 3 | '''''Hataraki Man''''' is a story about Matsukata Hiroko, a 28-year-old single woman who is an editor of Weekly Magazine, JIDAI. She’s often at odds with [[BrilliantButLazy Tanaka Kunio]], a novice editor. Her work already stresses her out and he’s unapologetic about his own mistakes! Everyone refers to Hiroko as a [[IronLady masculine woman for how seriously she takes her work]]. She smokes too much, works too much, and never has sex. However, when it’s time to get a story done, she switches into “Working Man” mode where the testosterone in her blood increases, she works three times her normal speed, and all thoughts of life’s necessities disappear.
