An official website and Twitter feed have also been published for Atarashii Joushi wa Dotennen.

 

The story of Atarashii Joushi wa Dotennen follows Kentarou Momose, a 26 year old office worker who ends up leaving his previous job because of terrible “power harassment” from his previous boss. At first Momose is stressed that his new boss, Yuusei Shirosaki, may give him a similarly poor treatment, but it turns out that Shirosaki is a bit of a natural airhead despite his serious and severe-looking demeanor.
