Other name: ユニコーンに乗って, Yunikon ni Notte, Riding a Unicorn

Description:

Unicorn ni Notte follows Narukawa Sana, a 26-year-old co-founder of the education app startup, Dream Pony. Three years after its inception, the company, which once experienced rapid growth and aimed to reach users worldwide, now faces a concerning decline. Sana grapples with intense daily nervousness over Dream Pony's struggling trajectory. Adding to her professional stress, she secretly harbors deep feelings for her co-founder, Suzaki Ko, who is completely unaware of her affection.

The company's environment shifts with the arrival of Kotori Satoshi, a middle-aged man who joins as Sana's subordinate. Having previously worked in a vastly different, traditional corporate setting, Kotori initially clashes with Dream Pony's startup culture. Sana struggles to work with him at first, but over time, she begins to draw closer to Kotori, receiving invaluable wisdom and guidance stemming from his extensive professional background. Amidst continuous hardships at work and the complexities of her unrequited love, Sana must navigate both her business challenges and personal dilemmas.
