This was so wholesome. ALSO BI REP!!!!

[Peppa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don’t know what drugs this mangaka puts in their work but I just adore every single manga from them😭💓!!!
This was again such a beautiful story without any drama, just wholesomeness and fluff. I also adored that both MCs were a bit older so that was really refreshing and gave the story some adultness but not in a serious way it was just really matured. I also loved their communication!! We love when people talk about their feelings and needs👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

adults falling in love!! omg this is absolutely adorable; i loved every second of it all the characters are so well made, drawn and brought to this story.
the older i get, the more i am drawn to characters around my age or in the work force. this one hits that spot so perfectly. two men, working, crushing on each other not knowing if the other is queer. the older not having much romantic experience is perfect. i need french publishing houses to pick it !!
(akata ???? taifu ?!)

a shy businessman has a thing for the guy who stocks his company vending machine.

this manga was so short but it had me SCREAMING and squirming in my seat. have you ever seen grown men blush profusely at each other? would you like to?!

READ THIS DAMN MANGA.

i was a little nervous at the age-gap but they’re both late 20s to early 30s so i was pleasantly surprised. high school romance is out, i’m now obsessed with 32 year-old, timid, gay businessmen who have wholesome crushes on the dude who refills the vending machine.

i, of course, can’t forget to mention how much i adore that the mangaka snuck in the reveal that the love interest *MINOR SPOILER* is bisexual. it made no difference to the story but it made me as a reader love it all the more for the bi representation, it felt authentic and just added more to him as a character.

my only complaint is that i wish it was longer.

4/5

This was definitely a cute, 99.8% innocent BL read! I loved the story line and I loved how innocent and naïve Yamashita and Ayumu were. It was just so endearing.

I think I just wished for more of a plot line. It was mostly just cute moments between the two and the only angst was a miscommunication of a phone charm...which I am not going to even elaborate on!

The art style was nice and I thought it was well done. It is just not one of my favourite types of style.

However, all and all it was a cute stand-alone manga.

Pretty cute Yaoi with a salaryman in love with a vending machine operator man🥰

[Lily Ackerman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Es una historia realmente dulce e inocente, además de tener un buen desarrollo de la trama que lo vuelve todo aún más tierno.

Me gustó mucho el que a pesar de que los protagonistas son dos adultos todo fuera bastante dulce, ya que usualmente al ser adultos buscan transmitir un romance que también lo sea, por lo que la forma en la que está plasmado en este manga es bastante refrescante.

This was soooo cute. They were both so awkward and adorable and I loved it. I hope that someone picks it up to publish it in English some day, but I might just pick up the Japanese manga. Hopefully futekiya puts up the second volume at some point too 🥺

It’s adorable! So wholesome and cute. I highly recommend.

好純好可愛，無論性向年紀都要這樣好好對待別人的感情啊，小情小愛拯救世界拯救心靈

[Yue · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ahhh so wholesome! A shy virgin and a more forward bi guy. Poor Ayumu has a crush on the vending machine guy for so long, and just one look from Yamashita and he is also a goner. He comes a bit strong though, for poor Ayumu who is unexperienced.. I was also feeling anxious for him! But it was all nice things: a phone number, a date, going to the movies... their first time though XD at least Ayumu is sincere and they do not go all the way, Yamashita has to wait a bit XD

Super cute, all blushing adult guys and many first times for Ayumu <3

I don't know why I can't connect with this manga. It's not a bad manga, but I just can't feel that it's for me.

The story is simple, and the art isn't very appealing to me. If other readers find a connection and the cuteness of the couple in this story, I can't feel anything at all. Is there something wrong with me?

I don't know, it's just not my taste. Whether it's the plot, characterization, or art style, none of it really impresses me.

4.5🌟
Very cute and they have really healthy relationship!Whi doesn't like it right?

The bottom is gay, and the top is bi.
I think this relationship is very accurate in real life,it's very realistic,not much drama and really fluffy.

I not give 5 star cause i thought it need some more depth in the plot.

So far,it's way enjoyable read for me.❤

[Vera Kabushemeye · Rating 4 out of 5]

The main couple is so adorable! I love their awkward their romance is!

I would have given it 5 stars but the romance felt a little too drawn out.

I just saw this might have more volumes and I can't wait to read the rest.

[Stefania · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is honestly one of the cutest and most wholesome BL manga ever! It's a huge pity that there's no translation of the following volumes yet...

I enjoyed it but it was eh? Nothing much happens really. I read it because of the drama that will come out soon and I'm so looking forward to it though.

"Can I buy your love from a vending machine" Aiii per favorrr, quina cucada, m'ha super encantat!!!! ♥♥♥ un BL molt tendre i versemblant entre un oficinista tímid i el jove reposador de les màquines de beguda de l'empresa, que s'atrauen mútuament sense saber-ho i van flirtejant amb molta cura. El noi és més directe, però tot i així avancen progressivament sense fer cap pas en fals, sense drames innecessaris i preocupant-se l'un per l'altre. M'ha semblat fabulós i ja tinc ganes de llegir el següent!!! :3
