Title: Manga Guide to Business Manners for First-Year Professionals

📚 JLPT Level Estimate

  • Main manga dialogues: Around JLPT N3–N2 level
    • Everyday office conversations like greetings, phone calls, simple keigo (丁寧語 / 尊敬語 / 謙譲語).
    • Vocabulary is common but includes some workplace-specific terms.
  • Explanatory sections / narration: Around N2 level
    • Sentences are longer and use more business-oriented grammar and vocabulary.
    • You’ll see words like 報連相 (ほうれんそう, reporting/communication), 御社, 取引先, 新人研修.
  • Business etiquette phrases: Sometimes N1 nuance
    • Fixed polite expressions and honorific phrases (e.g., 恐れ入りますが, お忙しいところ失礼いたします).
    • These are formulaic, so once memorized, they’re reusable.

🎯 Who Can Read Comfortably?

  • N3 learners:
    • Can follow the story and most conversations with some dictionary lookups.
    • Might struggle with the explanations and keigo-heavy phrases, but the manga visuals help a lot.
  • N2 learners:
    • Should read smoothly with occasional pauses.
    • Can learn practical business vocabulary in context.
  • N1 learners:
    • Will appreciate the naturalness and nuance of business Japanese, plus deepen keigo knowledge.

👩‍💼 The first year of work is full of surprises.
On your very first morning, you’re handed a stack of business cards. A senior whispers, “We’ll meet the client in five minutes — don’t forget to bow properly.” You smile nervously, but when the moment comes, you fumble: is the card handed with one hand or two? Do you bow first or later? Panic sets in.

🎨 That’s where this book shines.
“Manga de Wakaru! Business Manners for First-Year Professionals” doesn’t just explain the “correct” way. It shows the nervous rookie in manga panels, sweating and stumbling through the same mistakes you might make — then learning the proper steps.

😅 Example 1: The Mistyped Email

You’re asked to send your very first client email. You carefully type it out, only to realize later… you accidentally wrote the recipient’s name wrong. In the manga, the rookie character does the same, turns pale, and rushes to ask a senpai what to do. The result? You learn not only the rule but also the recovery technique — how to politely apologize and regain trust.

📞 Example 2: The Scary Phone Call

The phone rings. Your heart pounds. Do you answer with “Hello?” or “Thank you for calling XX Company”? In the manga, the rookie picks up too casually and gets corrected. By seeing the embarrassment play out, you’ll remember the professional phrasing instantly when it’s your turn.

☕ Example 3: Serving Tea at a Meeting

At a client meeting, the rookie proudly pours tea for the guest… only to serve the cup handle facing the wrong way. In the manga, laughter softens the blunder, but the senpai demonstrates the correct etiquette. You, too, will never forget which way the cup should face.

💡 These examples show the power of learning through story.
Dry manuals give you the rules, but stories give you memory. By laughing, cringing, and nodding with the characters, you’ll absorb the lessons naturally.

🚀 This book isn’t just about “manners.”
It’s about survival, growth, and transformation. By the last page, you won’t just know how to bow, email, or answer the phone — you’ll understand the spirit behind each act: showing respect, building trust, and becoming part of a professional team.


👩‍💼 社会人1年目は“想定外”の連続です。
入社初日、名刺の束を渡され、先輩が「5分後に取引先と挨拶するから、ちゃんとお辞儀するんだよ」と耳打ち。頭ではわかっていても、実際の場面で名刺を片手で差し出してしまったり、順番を間違えて慌ててしまう――そんなシーンから物語は始まります。

🎨 この本の魅力はそこにあります。
『マンガでわかる!社会人1年生のビジネスマナー』は、正しいやり方を“説明”するだけではありません。マンガのキャラクターが新人として同じ失敗をし、冷や汗をかき、先輩にフォローされながら学んでいく姿を描いてくれるのです。

😅 例1:メールの宛名ミス

初めて任された取引先へのメール。丁寧に書いたつもりが、送信後に気づく――名前の漢字を間違えてしまった!マンガでは新人が同じ失敗をして青ざめ、先輩に相談。結果、正しいお詫びの仕方や信頼を取り戻す方法を学べます。

📞 例2:突然の電話対応

社内の電話が鳴り響き、慌てて「もしもし」と出てしまう新人。すぐに先輩から「会社名を名乗らないと!」と指摘されます。マンガのやりとりを読むことで、正しい電話応対フレーズが自然と頭に残ります。

☕ 例3:お茶出しのマナー

来客対応でお茶を出す新人。頑張って注いだものの、カップの取っ手の向きが逆。場が少し和むものの、先輩が正しい向きを示してくれる。その一コマを読むことで、あなたも二度と忘れない知識になります。

💡 ストーリーで学ぶからこそ、忘れない。
単なるルール暗記ではなく、感情を伴った“体験”として記憶されるので、実際の場面でもすぐに活かせます。

🚀 この本はマナー集ではなく、成長物語です。
読み進めるうちに、登場人物と一緒に学び、成長し、やがて「自分もできる」と思えるようになる。最後には、ビジネスマナーの背景にある“敬意”と“信頼”の大切さまで理解できるでしょう。
