My New Boss Is Goofy

After his power-harassing boss damaged his spirit and health, Momose quit working and started a new sales job for an advertising agency. However, on the very first day of his new job, while making rounds to see clients with his new boss, Momose frets, "What should I do if my new boss also abuses his power?" and is unable to move due to a stomachache caused by his past traumas. Alone, Momose anxiously worries, "If I dont hurry and stand up…I might get kicked." But just what exactly does his new boss Shirosaki do…?!

One day, Momose and Shirosaki come upon an abandoned kitten in a cardboard box along the side of the road. At first, the kitten was scared of Shirosaki and intimidated him. But because of Shirosakis gentle words and actions, the kitten gets attached and decides to go live with him. Since taking in and raising the kitten, Shirosaki struggles to decide on a name when he suddenly remembers the time he mistook a tanuki for an abandoned cat during his childhood. Shirosaki recalls the name he and his grandmother gave the tanuki back on that sad day they returned it to the mountains. What name will Shirosaki give to the kitten…?!

Momose and Shirosaki stay at a hot spring inn when it is decided that they will go on a business trip. At the same time, Aoyama and Kinjo go on a single-day business trip to Kumatte Land. After arriving at the inn, Shirosaki realizes something important when he sees Momose naturally enjoying his time. On the other hand, Aoyama and Kinjo are suddenly hit with heavy rain on their way home after walking around and finishing up at Kumatte Land. Thanks to assistance from the public relations staff, the two stay at the hotel. But Kinjo catches a cold….

While enjoying his time living at Shirosakis home, Momose finally decides to tell Shirosaki about his former boss, Kurono, properly. From when he first started at the company, how he thought he had to live up to Kuronos expectations, to the power harassment that worsened day by day, Momose tries his best to tell it all. Later, Momose returns to his apartment for a change of clothes. Although it is dark and he can barely see, Momose catches a glimpse of a shadowy figure outside his apartment from the window!

The group – Momose, Shirosaki, Aoyama, and Kinjo – end up going to a last-minute mixer. Momose becomes depressed when bad memories resurface of a mixer he attended with his previous boss. But as the current mixer kicks off, Momose and the others get absorbed in Aoyamas story. When Kinjo follows Aoyama, who had left his seat during the mixer, and asks if theres anyone he is interested in, Aoyama becomes somewhat evasive. It seems there is a reason that Aoyama has become the life of the party…!

Inside a train station with high passenger foot traffic, Momose and Shirosaki look upon a giant advertisement. The release day of Momoses first ad, which he created for the aquarium, has finally come. On his way to the aquarium, Momose spots a man at a nearby café who looks like his previous boss, Kurono. Even when he enters the aquarium, he ends up remembering Kurono. While accompanying Momose, Shirosaki notices a suspicious man. The envelope that the man holds has the name of Momoses previous company written on it….
