Komada Jouryuujo e Youkoso

Morose journalist Koutarou Takahashi is not excited about the assignment his boss has given him—writing articles on several whisky distilleries across Japan to capitalize on the recent rise in the alcoholic beverage's popularity. Without any knowledge of the spirit, he does the bare minimum amount of research and trudges to his interviews. The whisky expert assigned to assist Koutarou is Rui Komada, heir to the Komada distillery and creator of the award-winning blend Wakaba. Taking control of the distillery at a young age due to her father's untimely death, she struggles to manage a business that seems ready to collapse. In a daring move, she decides to spend millions of yen to replace pot stills that were previously destroyed in an earthquake so they can produce raw whisky once again. However, to make the most of this gamble, Rui must convince Koutarou to write quality articles in order to generate much-needed publicity. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
