At this moment I want to learn a bit of Japanese that people use in formal work environments, so I would really appreciate any recommendations on something interesting/funny that would help me learn business/office related language and manners.

Golden Boy has a lot of office scenes. It's quite interesting and amusing, too.

Edit: BTW, I doubt you'll learn much about that from anime. Either it'll be too boring to be in an anime, or too contrived/funny/out-of-character to really learn from.

ヒミツの花園 / "Himitsu no Hanazono"
This one's based in a magazine / comic book company, I didn't find this drama too interesting though.
アットホーム・ダッド / "At Home Dad"
There are many scenes of the business environment in this drama, I found this one quite entertaining and watched all twelve episodes. I wouldn't say this is an office-themed drama though.

恋に落ちたら maybe?

Thank you all for your recommendations.

BTW, I have a link related to this topic that some of you might find useful: デジセンス商事. It is Japanese-only and they teach you lots of interesting things related with language, manners, writing reports, etc... using manga sketches and simple explanations.

At Home Dad is a fun one. A lot of Sapuri takes place in an office and it isn't bad to watch either. (Hint: Ito Misaki.)

I've not seen or read it, but isn't 働きマン (Hataraki-Man) a business-themed manga/anime/drama?

No one is suggesting Salaryman Kintaro? It's about a salaryman named Kintaro, sure he used to be a bike gang leader and so gets into a fight every other episode, but it's still set in the corporate world. Also it has four or five seasons of the dorama and one season of anime, and if that is still not enough for you it's all based from a manga so you can always pick that up. Good luck.

Glad I found this thread. 2 years have passed since it was created so a bunch of new dramas must have been released.

Similar to the author of this thread, I too want to watch some business related dramas. I watched anego and LOVED it.

Any suggestions? Preferably with women as main characters so I can get their pitch accent ^_^

If you loved Anego you might like Haken no Hinkaku.

I loved the anime of this, and the main character is female, so I recommend it to CarolinaCG as well.
