I was looking for an adult romance and thought this might be cute. I do think it was ironic I picked this up after complaining in a different review that I was tired of the couple hiding their relationship at work (but they were together so long they had already gotten married) I think the MCs are interesting but oddly innocent for adults. with that being said not much really happened in this. they date in secret and spend the whole volume hiding it from their coworkers. I understand this is a work romance but I do wish they would have showed more of them together like a couple. it seemed like every time they were alone somehow something from work was involved. they are nice to each other when together why is this relationship worth stressing keeping a secret over. if anything in most of the scenes they seem like they are just friends until they start blushing at each other
They're dating! But they don't want people to know they're dating! So they pretend they're not dating! It's cute, I guess. It isn't blowing me away. I don't exactly get why it's so taboo that they're dating, why it's such a big deal, why they have to keep it secret, etc. I guess they just do! Despite a whole volume about them I don't really know why they're dating at all- they just are. There's more focus on keeping the relationship a secret than about the relationship itself outside of one or two moments.
So far, so good. I haven't finished the series in its entirety as yet, but I do buy the idea of office romances, and the need for our two protagonists to keep it a secret.
The romances are pretty sweet (and our two leads are perhaps a mite horny...), but I do like the depictions of modern-day romances, and the work invovled to make it work.
this is right up my alley - workplace romance with just enough blushing and pining, but also quite sweet and funny. I have been looking for something to scratch that itch after wotakoi and sweat & soap!!!!! love it so far!!

Sadly, I found this to be quite boring. It’s cutesy and generic, which doesn’t make it bad, but the characters are flat and there is nothing special that makes the characters or the story stand out. Based on the first tankoban, this doesn’t seem to be a series worth continuing.
Although this doesn’t have too much depth and is mostly just cute it has two of my favorite tropes workplace/office romance and secret dating so I have to give it a 4 but really it’s a 3.5.
The cover looked cute and I was intrigued so I thought I would give it a try, knowing it could go one of two ways: it could be awkward but cute or it could be awkward but cringey. Unfortunately, it was the latter. There’s no tension build up, no accidental touches in the office; it’s just two people trying to hide their relationship in the most difficult to watch way. It just wasn’t for me.
