Talentless TAKANO

I generally find Japanese comedies a little awkward, but this one shines because of the production and its actors. The star has really struck me as working gracefully with minimalist gestures and movements to mesmerize us - the simplicity of what she does belies the power she has. Much of the humour exacted is from the context of the very competitive office life - now shadowed by the off the beaten track z generation. Hoodies versus suits. I have witnessed first hand the working practices and the business environment which this series deftly satirizes. Of course like many series these days it has its origin in manga series. Here is of course where the production qualities come into their own - like my favourite recent K Drama series Backstreet Rookie which has even more of the anime feel.
