drama: Office Girls & Rilakkuma

I have 20 teddy bears, including five small ones so it’s an understatement to say that I don’t love them. That’s why when two super cute plush bears appeared on Office Girls, it made me love the drama all the more, if that was possible at all since I already adore it. A friend on…
