Introduction

‘It’s good to be serious but you need to read atmosphere more’
‘The atmosphere Nishioka mentioned is not the surrounding air but the atmosphere of the situation.’

Mitsuya Majime is not good at talking but he is good as a salesperson. Masashi Nishioka seems to be a playboy but he is actually a dictionary editor. They meet in the town bu accident.
Araki, a veteran editor of the publishing company Genbu Shobou, is working on a project: a middle-sized Japanese dictionary “Daitokai”, and as his retirement draws closer, he is frantically looking for his successor. In the situation, he heard about Majime from Nishioka and decided to scout him.

“Connecting People – Kotoba wo Amu”
Words that can’t be understood. Feeling which you can’t convey to. This story is about people that are unable to live in that way.
