What happens

Shomuni (ショムニ) (also called Power Office Girls) is a comedic TV drama serial based on the Japanese manga of the same name by Hiroyuki Yasuda (安田弘之, Yasuda Hiroyuki), though much of the details (all besides the company name and the characters) have departed from the comic. Released in 1998, Shomuni was a surprise winner of the ratings war for drama serials aired in Japan between April and June, despite being projected to finish a lowly thirteenth in a survey conducted by a major TV station.
