Cute Executive Officer

Najimu Mujina isn't a prodigy, and she isn't old enough to vote, yet she somehow lands the top job as president and "CEO" of the Mujina Company. The series tracks her sunny, unshakable optimism as she runs a real office full of adults who expect seriousness. Najimu treats board meetings like games, badgers her executive assistant Yuki with impossible demands, and turns ordinary business tasks into absurd setpieces, from golfing with colleagues to haggling over contracts. Her childish perspective exposes the silly parts of corporate life and tests the patience of coworkers, while short, gag-driven episodes keep the tone light and easy to watch for a wide range of viewers.

Created by Satoru Sugisawa, Cute Executive Officer debuted in 2021 as an animated comedy series. The Japanese voice cast features Rina Hidaka as Najimu Mujina, Sumire Uesaka as Yuki Karuizawa, Hisako Kanemoto as Mayu Wareto, Sayaka Kaneko as Garcia Dekasegi, and Chinami Hashimoto as Riya Motohashi.

There are no records of major awards or mainstream nominations for the show to date. It hasn’t been part of big prize seasons, and any recognition has been limited to smaller or fan-driven outlets rather than major industry honors.

The premise attracted a modest but active online fanbase who enjoyed the mismatch between a childlike CEO and everyday office routines. Fan art, short clips, and reaction posts circulated on social platforms, with Najimu’s antics and the show’s visual gags frequently shared among anime-minded communities.

Critical attention has been light and viewer metrics are scarce, so wider consensus is hard to pin down. Fans who like workplace humor and absurd contrasts tend to appreciate the show’s focus on character-driven comedy, especially the push-pull between Najimu’s boundless cheer and Yuki’s weary professionalism, which fuels much of the show’s laughs.
