On and Off: Work-Life Imbalance

Synopsis

A lolita boy and a punk girl form a fashion-forward bond without realizing they already know each other from work! There are two sides to every working adult: one they show when they’re on the job, and one they show when they’re off the clock. For coworkers Sotaro Amata and Akira Hanku, this holds doubly true. Outside the office, these fashionistas don outfits that metamorphose them into completely different people! So what happens when they form a connection after hours…without recognizing who the other person is? (Source: Square Enix)
