The visual features the protagonist Douki-chan and her two love rivals: Kouhai-chan and Senpai-san.

The unique thing about this series is that everyone calls each other through honorifics instead of their actual names. Therefore, Douki means colleague, Kouhai means junior, and Senpai means senior.

The face of Douki-chan’s crush, Douki-kun (colleague), is never shown. He is mostly faceless, or only the expressions on half of his face are shown. More like, the reader is Douki-kun as the illustrations are made from that perspective.

The story is essentially a harem. The difference is that it’s from the viewpoint of the women who are pursuing the man. In this, all the women’s thoughts and feelings towards Douki-kun are shown and what all they do to be with him alone.

The series is a complete package of everything, and I honestly can’t wait for it to start broadcasting.
