Manga Episodes
Eight workplace disasters, one glowing clipboard, and a cast of office spirits, policy creatures, deadline animals, and compliance heroes trying to keep the workplace from becoming a group chat fire.
Season One
The employee handbook has become sentient.
Season One follows Hana Resources through the everyday mythology of the modern workplace: policy confusion, onboarding panic, missing timesheets, mediation drama, open enrollment, burnout, compliance saves, and the performance review that slides sideways.
Episode Guide
Read the workplace chaos in order.
Each episode is a standalone workplace fable, but the full arc works best from Policy Goblin to the sideways review.
