Hell, yea! My heart is still beating for this dorky rivalry!! I think I'm twice more in love with this one now! Not sure if this is because of my lack of yaoi feeds for months now—or the fact that it's the right time to absorb this world once again. Nevertheless, Machi Suehiro, you're a genius, sensei!! I was literally swept off my feet and crying because of this beautiful art work!!

First Review • June 11, 2023
Another enemies to lovers!! I really love me some rivals with the other one harboring feelings secretly. I'm dying out here, I swear. And the art style is so beautiful, I've been screaming my heart out!! Machi Suehiro's office yaoi is always good for the soul.

[10/01/2026] ~ POR FIN conseguí la traducción del segundo volumen, así que salió relectura del primero para apreciar su continuación como merece ser apreciada. Con respecto a este volumen, lo único que tengo para decir es: cine absoluto.

Also, cómo que leí este manga en 2023????????? Wtf cómo puede ser que haya pasado tanto tiempo wtff

4.5 de 5 estrellas.

-----------------------

[18/08/2023] ~ Era OBVIO que me iba a encantar POR DIOOOOOOS dos bobos que compiten por absolutamente TODO se ponen de acuerdo y compiten por ver cuál de los dos logra hacer que el otro se enamore primero???? Y además uno de los dos estuvo enamorado del otro desde que eran chiquitos??? AAAAAAAA THAT RIGHT THERE THAT'S MY SHIT THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

¿Dibujo? Hermoso. ¿Historia? Espectacular. ¿Romance? Chef's kiss. Primera vez que un tomo unitario me gusta y me hace sentir tanto.

4.75 de 5 estrellas.

Spectacular give me 14 of em right now 😋

[alex :) · Rating 3 out of 5]

really sweet but i needed more angst. also, i feel like a lot of the scenes were repetitive, especially when both characters would throw out that they wanted their relationship to be more than a competition, just to turn around and say sike. like y’all let’s be grown adults for one sec 🫤. besides that, the art was nice and i really did like them together.

[Poisonivy_Seastars · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was way more wholesome then I expected 😖✊

[Peppa · Rating 4 out of 5]

The banter between the leads is ridiculous in the best way, super playful and chaotic in that “how are these two functioning adults?” kind of vibe. And also Zen was really adorable…Like genuinely such a little gremlin, I love him so much it’s stupid!!

The plot mostly revolves around their constant one-upping each other, so if you’re not into competitive dumbasses in love, it might wear thin for you. But honestly, for a manga this short, I thought the pacing and character depth made sense. It doesn’t dig super deep, but it didn’t need to.

But let’s talk about the important part!! the romance is SO cute and the spicy scenes were stunning!!! Soft, flushed faces everywhere, so many kisses (bless) and a real sense that these two know exactly how to push each other’s buttons,…in every way. Honestly, this was just fun and cozy and deliciously blushy!!

[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has the perfect balance of everything I love in a romance: tension, humor, and steaminess. And even with all the (endearing) ridiculousness, the connection between these two was still gentle, filled with longing, and strengthened by the kind of total acceptance that only love can bring.

[⭐Toonasa⭐ •Romance Book Lovers' Haven• · Rating 5 out of 5]

A steamy rivals-to-lovers rom-com manga Vol•1 that I enjoyed so f'ing much! This author's amazing 😍 with lovely art style.

Zen's grumpy perfectionist. Ryo's a sunshine friendly. High school rivals (with frenemies vibes!) who are reunited at workplace. They're hard-working, VERY competitive & sore losers (*cough* Zen)! Loved the lil flashbacks.

Their latest bet? is of LOVE 😳. It's silly, ridiculous but the execution's *chef's kiss*. I laughed at their antics! There's spice (consensual & with prep 🙌) in almost each chapter 🥵. Yay to 1st times— I'm glad R's experienced 😁 (& prefers men, I don't see much of it in mangas).

There's little angst 🥺, due to hopeless romantic's unrequited love but soon it becomes requited 😍. So cute!

Comic rating:

1) The Characters: 5/5
2) Art: 4.5/5 (not colored)
3) Story feels: 😳😝😘🥵😶🙈🤭😉🥰🥺🥵😏☺️😁
4) Sexy scenes: Multiple!
5) Cute/Fun: 4.5/5

heated rivalry versión oficinistas

[dasfraeuleinliest · Rating 5 out of 5]

Eine süße, humorvolle „Rivals to lovers“ Geschichte über zwei ehemalige Schulkameraden, die ihre alte Rivalität im Berufsleben neu aufleben lassen und es dabei ein wenig zu weit treiben. Die Story besticht vor allem mit ihrer Leichtigkeit und dem schönen Zeichenstil und macht Lust auf mehr. Leider ist „Fake Fact Lips“ ein Einzelband, aber auch als Standalone konnte mich der Manga sehr gut unterhalten.

[Jhamankys · Rating 5 out of 5]

Joder, literatura de calidad, esto si es un enemies to lovers 😭😭

[Emma · Rating 4 out of 5]

4,5 ⭐️

Crumpy guys, love it 😝 Die Story war echt cute und beautiful😌☝️

Ich mag den MC und den ML 😮‍💨

Das Papier fühlt sich irgendwie hochwertig an, also definitiv anders als bei anderen Stories vom Verlag, deswegen sind 12€ gerechtfertigt…aber trotzdem ein wenig teuer 🙂 EGAL

[Jenna Giampaolo · Rating 4 out of 5]

i thought this was really good, but soooo short. enemies to lovers so you know i ate it up. so obsessed i read it during work but it didn’t take long because, again, it’s SOOO short. GIVE ME MORE. there is a sequel series tho so when i get my hands on that, oooo im in trouble

[Cas ✨ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Genuinely good Rivals to Lovers plot; hilarious at times, steamy at others. I loved it. I almost don’t want to read the second volume because it’s perfect where it is.

[⋆˚࿔ ɴᴏᴠᴀ 𝜗𝜚˚⋆ · Rating 3 out of 5]

3/5

Bit boring since it’s mostly smut with a lackluster plot. Cute dynamic in theory though

[Hayeley Norris · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can understand people's four star reviews but for me this is five stars. It just hit every beat I wanted it to.

[Jen (Fae_Princess_in_Space) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ahhhh I totally loved this! I read a lot of manga as a teenager and then just stopped; I haven’t read a manga book in years. This one was recommended by a friend and I thought it sounded fun and ohhh my, I am glad I gave it a chance! This has definitely inspired me to pick up more manga again in the future!

Ryo and Zen are high-school rivals turned workplace rivals. Everything they do is a competition… including challenging each other to see who can make the other fall in love with them first! Terrible flirting, disastrous dates and some very inappropriate workplace conversations galore!

I absolutely love an idiots to lovers trope and oh boy, these two were absolute morons (for each other 🥹💕). Their rivalry is just hilarious and the sweet, tender parts were adorable. And the spice?! 🥵 Let me just say, I’m glad I wasn’t reading this in public 🫠😏

Read Fake Fact Lips for:
✨ BL manga
✨ Rivals to lovers
✨ Workplace romance
✨ Idiots to lovers
✨ Terrible flirting
✨ Only dating for the competition…
✨ Or are they?
✨ Spiiiicy (be careful reading in public!)
✨ Adorable, heartfelt moments

Did someone say... hot?

[ℂ ✧ · Rating 1 out of 5]

La premissa d'una aposta per seduir-se entre dos venedors em sembla ridícula, forçada i infantil. A més, els protes em recorden moltíssim als de ハッピークソライフ 1 Happy Kuso Life 1 , però malament ^^' Relació gens honesta i massa superficial pel meu gust...

This is so ridiculous and they're both so stupid, but I like the romance. They argue a lot, but it doesn't feel malicious and more playful. Also Machi Suehiro's art style!! I love it. I enjoyed it more this time so I'm bumping up my rating a little. I'm looking forward to the sequel. I want to see some lovey dovey romance!

Una joyita.

[sara · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don’t wanna talk about it… just how? why? Someone explain!!!

[ContiClown · Rating 4 out of 5]

me lo releí solo para refrescarme y leer el segundo tomo 😼

[Lily Ackerman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Es un rivals to lovers bastante dulce y agradable.

El manga es bastante ligero y rápido de leer, además de que al tener tantas partes cómicas se vuelve aún más ligero.

Personalmente pareció muy entretenido y disfrutable, aunque no considero que sea demasiado memorable, por lo que es una buena opción para salir de un bloqueo lector.

[Fny · Rating 4 out of 5]

Idk it was maybe a bit cliched but oh I ate it all up 😉 I mean I’ve read this kind of story thousands of times before but it just was perfect to wind-down to a Wednesday evening 🧡✌️all the feels haha 😜 + quite some steamy scenes as well but like not over the top or anything it was just a good combo of both actually!

[Nayli · Rating 4 out of 5]

Al fin lo terminé🙆‍♀️🗯. 10 meses después!
Me gusta la historia de ellos porque son muy parecidos entre sí. Me gustaría otro tomo

[Faith · Rating 4 out of 5]
