Retsuko

Retsuko is a red panda working in the accounting department of a trading firm. She is characterized by her diligent, yet somewhat timid nature, often finding herself overwhelmed by the daily pressures and demands of her workplace. Despite her frustrations, she maintains a polite and respectful demeanor towards her colleagues and superiors, though she harbors deep-seated feelings of discontent and stress.

Outside of work, Retsuko has a unique way of coping with her stress: she engages in karaoke, specifically singing death metal. This hobby serves as her secret outlet, allowing her to express her true feelings and frustrations in a way that she cannot in her professional or personal life. Her contrasting personas highlight the duality of her character – the reserved office worker by day and the passionate metal enthusiast by night.

At her core, Retsuko is seeking balance and fulfillment in her life, navigating the challenges of adulthood, work-life balance, and personal happiness. She embodies the struggles of many who feel trapped in the monotony of daily routines and societal expectations, making her relatable to a wide audience.
