Description
Even though Momoko has dreams of being an illustrator, she suddenly finds herself working for a company that does pachinko designs. She thinks she could’ve handled it -- if it weren’t for her eccentric co-workers, her irritable boss, and constant all-nighters that force her to sleep in the office!

(Note: “Pachinko” is a type machine game in Japan that is popularly used for gambling. It’s mechanisms are similar to pinball machines, though there are several differences.)
