He has just left his successful job as a literature editor at his father’s company to prove his success wasn't due to nepotism. After starting his new job with Marukawa Publishing House he is surprised when he is placed in the shoujo manga department instead of literature. Right when he is about to quit his new boss Masamune Takano intentionally tricks him into staying by insulting his work, leaving him too prideful to quit. Things become even worse for him when Masamune reveals that he was the same person Ritsu confessed to years ago.
