2012年、新宿。夜の街でキャバクラ嬢として働く山田さんは、何をやってもダメダメな新人・みいちゃんと出会う。ヤル気と元気はあるものの、漢字も空気も読めないみいちゃんは、周りから馬鹿にされ「可哀想」のレッテルを貼られてしまう。それでも、健気に働くみいちゃんの姿に、山田さんは徐々に心を惹かれていく。不器用で"特別"な女の子たちを巡る、夜の世界の物語。 Shinjuku, 2012. Yamada, who works as a hostess in a nightclub, meets Mii-chan, a new girl who is no good at anything she does. Mii-chan is energetic and motivated, but she can't read kanji or the atmosphere, so she is ridiculed by those around her and labeled as "pitiful." Nevertheless, Yamada is gradually drawn to Mii-chan as she works diligently. (Originally serialised on X/Twitter under a pseudonym and released in collected volumes on Kindle. The original manga began with shorts, then ran "Mii-chan and Yamada-san" as a lengthier story. This is a reboot with the same basic premise. The author worked in a hostess club when she was in college, but has publicly stated in interviews and on social media that while there was a "Mii-chan" who served as the inspiration for the character, everything else about the story is fictional.)
