Richtig gutes Essen
Richtig gutes Essen
Takase, Junko
Eine angepasste Bürokarriere, eine zuvorkommende Frau, richtig gutes Essen: Nitani weiß, worauf es im Leben ankommen sollte. Die Regeln sind klar, doch Nitani, der am liebsten seine gesamte Nährstoffzufuhr über eine Tablette beziehen würde, tut sich schwer mit ihnen. In seinem Büro ist Ashikawa die Art von Frau, die er wahrscheinlich heiraten wird: liebenswürdig und entschlossen, ihn von seiner Sucht nach Instantnudeln zu befreien. Aber es gelingt ihm immer weniger, sie zu respektieren - oder die süßen Leckereien hinzunehmen, die sie verteilt und mit denen sie sich die Zuneigung ihrer Kollegen sichert. Seine Kollegin Oshio ist unkonventioneller, in der starr reglementierten Welt des Büros kommen sich die beiden näher. Und ihr offenbart Nitani auch seine geheime Leidenschaft: die Literatur. Humorvoll und klug stellt Junko Takase die Frage, warum wir manchmal falsch abbiegen, und zeigt anhand einer Bürogemeinschaft die Absurditäten des modernen Zusammenlebens auf.
