Ase to Sekken

Ongoing | Yamada Kintetsu | 2000 released

5/5. Omg this was soooooo cute and wholesome, but also steamy at some times. Uhh it’s def a new favorite manga for me. It honestly has set the standard high for healthy relationships in manga. There were so many times I found myself squealing because I was having a cuteness overload. They are so perfect for each other. It also touched on some real life problems, though the problems were solved fairly quick. Over all not a lot of angst and drama which is honestly refreshing. I also found it funny at some parts. They had a fast moving relationship and I think they hadn’t known each other for much more the two years maybe before they got married. Then they immediately had a child. So in some ways it was not that realistic but it was such a sweet escape. Honestly one of the first office romances I’ve enjoyed in a long time. I think my least favorite part was when natori went on a trip with his coworker that had a crush on him. They are just such an emotionally mature couple. Natori sniffs asako for their meet cute. After like a week or two they decide to date. They support each others careers and find time to make for each other. It’s a story about couples dynamics and things that come up in relationships that aren’t usually explored in romance media theses days. I think the fact that it was a seinen based off a fetish kind of put me off for a while but I am so glad I read this!

3.75/5 ig? Idk I liked it but it’s clear the story was made just for the smut. But the smut was just teasing. Honestly if this storyline was expanded I would really like it. I love a puppy ml and oblivious fl. Girl gets hired by ml at run down business. She helps his shape up and the business thrives. He wants reward and licks her. He gos on trip and a rumor starts that get the fl jealous. She quits and he gets frustrated and follows her home. They make up and say they love each other. That’s it. That’s the story.
