Description:

Nanisama! tells the story of Futaro, who transitions from a relaxed life at a food company's factory back to the bustling corporate headquarters at his friend's request. However, his new assignment is far from easy. Futaro becomes the personal assistant to Izumi, a highly demanding boss and an expert on Italian food culture. Their working relationship starts terribly, as Futaro constantly makes mistakes and says the wrong things. Furthermore, he seems completely unfit for the company's prestigious Italian Restaurant Project, particularly because he actually dislikes tomatoes. Despite these major setbacks and his boss's tough attitude, Futaro is not ready to back down. To survive in this high-pressure environment, he must use his own unique tricks to win over Izumi, overcome his culinary dislikes, and find unexpected success in his new career. This delightful office drama explores growth, determination, and the art of winning people over.
