A show that was released last year in 2023 named My New Boss Is Goofy is truly a gem amongst all the wholesome, and here is the reason why? Because the show holds the maximum level of empathy and compassion in it. And the best part is, if you are having a really bad day, this anime will definitely heal your soul.
As we already mentioned, “My New Boss Is Goofy” is a fun anime from 2023. The show starts with one of the main characters, Momose, who is starting his new job. In the first episode itself, Momose meets Shirosaki, who turns out to be a quirky boss, but in a very funny way. But still, Momose feels nervous about his first job, especially when he hears some kind of rumors about Shirosaki in the office. Because of nervousness, Momose feels dizzy and stomach aches and to help him, Shirosaki brings him some medicine, which turns out to be period pain tablets.
As the show proceeds, Momose and Shirosaki become really close friends. Alongside his good boss, Momose learns to and grows by overcoming his past boss’s trauma and tries to be strong.
Even Shirosaki helps and supports Momose like a parent, creating a comfy and supportive work environment to come out from his dark past.
Undoubtedly, this is a refreshing show that pinpoints Japan’s tough business world.
The show “My New Boss Is Goofy” is an absolute gem and it portrays the importances of being empathetic and wholesome in the modern work culture.
In anime, we have often seen that there has been a trend to portray hardworking characters that really push their limits to be successful or fulfill their goals. They skip everything they sacrifice their life to be heroes. Like Izuku from my hero academia and Tanjiro from demon slayer. And that is often seen in work pressure in Japanese work culture as well. They push themselves so much that they forget about their well-being.
Also in “My New Boss Is Goofy,” often toxic behavior of Momose’s former boss was overshadowed by comedy but still it can’t be totally ignored because that is what reality looks like.
As we discussed, there has been prevailing toxic work culture in Japan. There has also been some improvement in recent years.
For example, In 2014, a law was passed in Japan to prevent overwork-related deaths and injuries, requiring companies to compulsorily report on their work-life balance policies.
The government is also encouraging people to take breaks between shifts and use more of their vacation days. Despite there still being more policies to be made by the government for the well-being of workers.
Japan is slowly starting to move towards a healthier work culture that prioritizes people’s well-being before work.
“My New Boss Is Goofy” has nicely portrayed this wonderful moment towards better work-life balance.
As Shirosaki’s friendly behavior brings a relaxed atmosphere where tasks feel really comforting. Unfortunately, He is an ideal boss, who is competent, caring, and attentive to his juniors’ needs.
The company overall promotes a super positive and comforting work culture and all thanks go to Aoyama, who admirably mentored Shirosaki before Momose arrived. This show is filled with kindness and characters are super positive towards their work and people around them. Bringing a positive work cycle in our life.
So, that’s all from my side! Hope you enjoyed the article and if you haven’t watched the show, go and check it out because it’s a must-watch!
