Summary
Giyu Tomioka, a bestselling yet chronically unreliable novelist suffering from severe memory problems, lives a quiet and carefully documented life surrounded by notebooks, reminders, and unfinished manuscripts. His routine is disrupted when a new editor, Shinobu Kocho, is assigned to supervise him — a polite, sharp-tongued professional who refuses to be intimidated by his eccentric habits or endless excuses for missed deadlines.
What begins as a battle between a socially awkward writer determined to avoid submission deadlines and an unwavering editor determined to collect his manuscripts gradually turns into something warmer. As Shinobu inserts herself into Giyu’s carefully controlled world, she becomes someone he cannot simply forget — even when his memories fail him.
A lighthearted modern AU workplace story about deadlines, misunderstandings, quiet healing, and the unexpected connection formed between a silent novelist and the editor who refuses to give up on him.
