Hmm. Cool that stiletto heels decided to pick it up - first chapter got released ten or eleven years ago, if i remember correctly.
It's a good series, kinda like more career presentation oriented Kimi wa petto, giving roughly equal amount of attention to showing how office dynamics affect and largely create "workplace", as well as presenting heroine's private life outside of it (which amounts mostly, but not exclusively, to her love longings). It's somewhat drier and has less charm than Ogawa Yayoi's manga, but in exchange readers get to take a peek into the structure and functioning realities of working a job in advertisement agency. My guess is those were portrayed reasonably well and fairly close to how they actually are, given the author's career prior to drawing comics, but who knows - both medium itself and magazine editors have their tropes and guidelines respectively.
Characters visual designs are rather peculiar (classic?), so they might take a little time getting used to*. Then again, so were Ogawa Yayoi's, and that didn't prevent her works from gaining a dedicated fan base.
It's more than okay if you like that sort of stories.
*covers are super pretty though. I mean, look at that (no spoilers, it just clogs the page):
I guess all that experience gained in advertising wasn't just for show.
