Story
Hatoyama Hideo, the president of Yotsuba Bank, announces a project on women in prominent positions, to proactively promote the appointment of female bank employees. Harashima Hiromi is selected to head the Corporate Sales Division at the struggling Taito bank branch as part of this project. But this is the agenda of Shimazu Masahiko, the deputy president who is watching for an opportunity to seize Hatoyama’s position. Hiromi has been working at the headquarters of the bank ever since she joined it straight out of college. However, she has a strong sense of justice and has no qualms using her signature phrase “With all due respect, may I …” to reason with anyone. As a result, Hiromi is rumoured to be a troublemaker and ended up causing an incident three years ago which led to her secondment to an affiliate company. The arrival of a female division manager gets an unenthusiastic response from the employees of the Corporate Sales Division, particularly Kato Akihiko, who was a candidate for the position. Hiromi has been ordered to turn the Taito bank branch around. As a bank employee who puts customers first, Hiromi tackles her mission with bold ideas and energy.
