Koume doesn't build toward anything. It just lets you sit inside an Osaka design office and watch people who talk like nobody else on TV make each other laugh with words, not plot. The show is confident enough to make its entire appeal the texture of how these people live together, the specific weight of Kansai dialect hitting funnier than any punchline structure could land. By episode three you stop waiting for the story to start and realize the story was always just this: a girl, her gang-turned-coworker, and a boss too strange to be invented, getting through the day exactly as themselves.

Koume starts work as a newcomer at Caramel Ribbon, Inc., a design company, and her days and nights there are told with a distinctly Osaka sense of humor. Alongside her effeminate boss and Kimi, a former girl gang member, she works to sell designs that are meant to be new and fresh, though that claim is doubtful. The comedy leans on how different the Kansai region feels from the rest of Japan, and the voice actors are from Kansai themselves. The romance and slice-of-life genres frame this short comedy, which aired as one of three relationship comedies aimed at women and broadcast on the same day.
