There's a strange lack of dwelling on the death of that guy Matsukata was going to interview. Despite whispers at the funeral that he died of overwork and Matsukata's doctor friend telling her she'd ruin her body, she eventually is inspired by his work practices and gets through her own exhausting work marathon. What if she ends up like that guy and drops dead? It strikes me as a more ambiguous ending than the way it actually plays out.

Wait, why did the doctor tell her that she didn't put any thought into her outfit- no makeup no earrings.

Appearance before health...what a shitty shitty doctor.

That face mask kinda reminds me of Natsume from Tonari-kun.

Anyways, glad her cold got better but must of been a tired day for Matsukata.

The solution was working harder again. Thought she might get better at "managing" instead.

I don't like this episode so much. It seems that the main theme of this episode is overworking but the ending makes no sense lmao.

Hard working too much for greater good but died before able to achieve it
It's harsh way too harsh :(

I feel like her love life is going far away
Seems like Shinji doesn't want to bother Hiroko with her works

Itou ran away, good idea for sanity.. not sure for his career :P

Kinda have mixed feelings reagarding this episode. At the very least it accurately displayed the Japanese mentality and therefore I won't think badly of the message just because it doesn't excactly align with my own values.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

So her friend is a doctor huh? I felt bad for Hiro at first since no one seems to give her an extra help (aside from Kabu chan who offered) but in reality, the workers have their fair share of duties so it mau be difficult to get involved in others. Good thing Hiro was able to pull through but Shinji seems to be very cold recently.
