Ritsu spent years running from Takano, and now his boss won't let him pretend it never happened. The movie doesn't waste time on doubt or misunderstanding, it knows you're here to watch two people finally stop fighting what they already chose. What hits is how quiet it is, how the confession isn't the climax but the beginning of something they both have to actually build together, and how the rest of the couples get their own moments to breathe instead of existing just to pad runtime.
Ritsu Onodera left his father's company, weary of claims that family ties earned him his job, and moved to Marukawa Publishing. There he landed in the shojo manga department under Masamune Takano, his overbearing boss, who turned out to be his first love from high school. In this romantic comedy-drama film, the Emerald Department crew attend a colleague's wedding, where they have been asked to help entertain the guests. Takano, Ritsu, Yoshiyuki Hatori, Shouta Kisa, Kanade Mino and Takafumi Yokozawa enjoy the celebration as far as their work lets them. Watching two people commit to each other pushes each of the Marukawa men to think about where his own relationship is going.
