Read till Chapter 21.
I love this manga. This author is very talented, since the stories (both this one and LoveCom) are simple but she makes them funny, adorable and romantic. The artwork is beautiful (eyes, clothes). At the beginning it seemed like the MC, Shibata, was a TSTL character, but she quickly grew on me. Yes, she is very naive at first, when it comes to a pretty, young face, but she learns eventually. And she is so relatable! And I mean in everything: dates-or-lack-of, being a 30(ish) girl with no prospects of marriage, having a hard time at work because of younger girls who like to chit-chat, not being capable in other jobs, being an average looking girl, having parents that like to annoy, etc. Her expressions are so funny! Sticking out the chin, just like Risa from LoveCom.
Shunin is an adorable love interest. It was impossible for Shibata to NOT fall in love with him, in spite of him being a pain in the ass, a know-it-all and an insufferable jerk sometimes. She acknowledges all of this, and yet, she can't deny he is a good guy <3 too bad he can't forget that girl ^_^ I wish he noticed Shibata more as a woman, but I can't complain, since their bickering is amusing and lots of fun. Lots of chemistry between them (not just romantic, unfortunately).
The BL cover was amusing and awkward at the same time, hahaha. Shunin as an uke? Like hell.
And despite of the fact that I usually hate a 2nd lead male coming into the heroine's life, I am satisfied this time. I like that Shibata gave them an opportunity, and that he was a nice guy. I almost wished she would fall for him, and to forget Shunin! Shunin is an ass and doesn't even LOOK at Shibata... Nevertheless, I couldn't. My thoughts were just like Shibata's ^_^ You have my back in everything, Michiko!
I think that is the main reason I am enjoying this josei so much... not only it is funny, but, except for the beginning, I never thought Shibata was stupid. I like her and I support everything she is going thru. Which is very important when I am reading a book. Too bad there is only 2 more chapters translated left ^_^ I really want to finish her story and read when stupid Shunin realizes she is the one...
