Yūma Uchida and Tomokazu Sugita reprise their roles as Shigeru and his boss, respectively.
IMAGICA Infos and Imageworks adapted the series for a short anime adaptation in November 2024.
The manga centers on the strange everyday lives of the eccentric office worker Shigeru and his magnanimous boss. In the first anime episode, "Singapore," Shigeru and his boss try to figure out what a mysterious lever does.
Tanaka launched the manga on Twitter (now known as X) in 2013. The manga became viral in Japan. Pony Canyon and later Kodansha compiled and published the manga in book volumes starting in 2014.
