Where it came from
Maetani Koremitsu created the Third-Class series during a period of rapid industrial growth in post-war Japan. These works reflect the anxieties and absurdities of the salaryman culture that defined the era, blending satirical social commentary with the imaginative potential of robotics. The narrative frames the robotic characters as stand-ins for the rigid hierarchies and repetitive labor expected of the average worker, using the 'Third-Class' designation to emphasize their perceived lowly status within a corporate ecosystem.
The character design leans into the distinct aesthetic of the time, characterized by bold lines and an expressive, slightly melancholic simplicity that was common in serialized Japanese manga. Koremitsu sought to humanize these mechanical figures, inviting readers to empathize with their bureaucratic struggles rather than viewing them solely as tools. Upon release, the series was received as a witty, if bittersweet, reflection on the dehumanizing nature of modern office life and the evolving relationship between technology and the labor force.
