Juhan Shuttai

Once a contender for the Olympic Judo Team, Kokoro Kurosawa (Haru Kuroki) was forced to give up on her dreams after suffering a career-ending injury. No longer able to pursue a career as a professional athlete, Kokoro must find a new way to support herself. Lucky for her, she manages to find her way into the wonderful world of manga publishing. Landing a job at the weekly manga magazine, “Vibes”, Kokoro is fascinated by the world of editing. Taking Kokoro under his wing is senior editor Kei Iokibe (Joe Odagiri), a talented professional who teaches her everything he knows about editing manga.
