Oshigoto Danshi is a series of drama CDs in which you meet various guys through your work (as an OL for Green Entertainment Productions, a company that manages idols and actors).
This is the first CD, and it pairs you off with salaryman Kanou Tatsuya (CV: Kishio Daisuke). Even though they say salaryman his job is far from the normal desk job, but no complaints there. In the company you work for it is custom that two people work together as a pair, one does the desk work and the other one is out doing all sorts of...things.
The different tracks show you working together. You've just started at the company, so Kanou is the one who has to teach you how everything works in the company. I'm not entirely sure how much time passes in this drama, but it is nice to see your relationship develop a little bit.
I somewhat expected that the setting would be that you're already dating, basically turning into an how-would-it-be-to-date-a.... fill in blank there, but instead you meet for the first time at the beginning of the CD and this basically shows your guy falling in love with you.
Kanou is your typical all-round lovable guy. Always a positive thinker and a hard worker by the sound of it. It is impossible not to like him, although I wonder whether I would actually fall in love with someone like him in reality. Fortunately, this isn't reality so we can just float along on the story. You never become all lovey-dovey, the CD ends where your actual relationship would begin.
And because the world is always a smaller place than you think, Ninomiya Masato (CV: Yusa Kouji) the character for the second CD is Kanou his nephew, and thus makes a more or less cameo appearance.
Conclusion:
I like that you don't start out as dating but that you sort of 'grow' into it. Rather fast, but still. The CD puts you through a few situations at work (normal, succes, failure) 'developing' your relationship in the progress. Even though this volume is labeled 'salaryman' like I said Kanou his work is far from normal, but what do you expect in the entertainment business ;) I wouldn't consider it an absolute 'must listen' but it is cute and entertaining so a good choice none the less.
