Description
Book Introduction
Today, I ended up going to work...★
A bittersweet essay by an IT planner living behind an app/service!

When we think of the IT industry, most people think of developers first, but at the center of designing services and leading their direction are planners (service planners, PMs, POs).
This book is an essay-toon that vividly and honestly captures the small daily lives and serious concerns of a planner, as experienced directly by 'Kaka', a current service planner who has consistently received love through her serial 'Kakatoon (@caca_ice)' on Instagram.
It's packed with 72 episodes, from a planner's daily routine to practical planning know-how, career stories, collaboration, and workplace life tips.

For current planners, it's a story they can relate to and say "That's right, that's right," and for those who dream of becoming planners, it's a story they can understand and say "Aha~" in an easy and fun way, told in a cartoon format.
I hope this book will provide a small measure of comfort and joy to fellow planners who have worked hard today, and will be a solid help to juniors preparing to become planners.

Publisher's Review
To all the planners who worked hard today
A 200% realistic and relatable cartoon delivered by my LAN colleague Kaka!

'Kakatoon', which has been gaining enthusiastic responses from IT industry colleagues on Instagram and is becoming a hot topic by word of mouth, has finally been published as a book.
We've carefully selected episodes that have been released online and reworked older episodes to create a more substantial series.
Additionally, we added empathy and fun by quoting the witty comments of KakaoTalk subscribers.

It's packed with 72 episodes covering a wide range of topics, from the allure of the planner profession, to daily life, the process of growing from junior to senior, practical know-how, collaboration methods, and career management.
It also covers common experiences that all office workers experience, such as 'The Team Leader's Sad Thoughts', 'Signs of a Coworker Resigning', and 'Organizational Restructuring Always Goes Like This', making it an enjoyable read for anyone.

This book is the story of a planner, but it is also a diary of an office worker who perseveres and strives to grow.
I send my support to all the office workers who are working hard in their respective positions, and I would be grateful if you would read this book comfortably and enjoyably.
