The protagonists of these works are similar as both lived typical salarymen lives until events drove them off track to start living life on the edge. The mangas also explore manliness and relationships.

It is through this experience that they gain a new outlook on life and find happiness that they hadn’t felt in a long time. These manga act as a criticism of modern Japanese work culture.
