Minami is a 27-year-old female office worker in an advertisement agency. Though she has a boyfriend, she spends the majority of her time working and appears to feel ambivalent about the relationship at best.

Much of the story is told through Minami's thoughts, which are full of self-doubt.

Reception

Suppli is regarded as being more realistic in its depiction of working life than Tramps Like Us or Happy Mania.[3] Deb Aoki of About.com called it "refreshingly real", in contrast to shōjo manga stories.[4] Nadia Oxford of Mania Entertainment regarded the first volume as being a "fairly standard romance novel" in manga format.[5] Margaret O'Connell, writing for Sequential Tart, described Minami as suffering from "internalized misogyny", noting that she has no female support network.[6]
