It asks for three minutes and gives you back a whole mood. Tapio Chatorazawa still radiates calico sunshine at every new gig, Kuehiko Roshihara still meets the same gig with the flat Russian blue certainty that this will go badly, and season two just keeps feeding them odd jobs to prove each other wrong. Nothing escalates. Nobody grows a tragic backstory. The comedy lives entirely in the gap between one cat who thinks work might be fun and one cat who has already calculated the exact moment it stops being fun. You will finish all twelve in one sitting, and then you will do the thing every fan of these two does: put on an episode before your own shift, just to remember somebody out there is also dreading it.

Tapio and Kuehiko are back: the cheerful calico and the grumpy Russian blue, still classmates at the same college. In this second season the two take on job after job of every kind, discovering firsthand how enjoyable and how tough working can be. Tapio brings boundless energy to each new gig, while Kuehiko stays his usual sour self. Short episodes keep the slice-of-life comedy light.
