Tameshi ni Komando Itte mita
I honestly love this. FINALLY a sub/dom without any creepy, rape-y undertones or blatant plot tropes. We need more of this! <3 The story itself is incredibly interesting, but I do think it was really rushed. The jump from testing the waters to both of them dating was really random and came out of nowhere, so them 'falling in love' somehow didn't really register. Kinda fell flat and made it feel shallow in terms of emotional impact and immersion. That could have been done better I think. BUT! It's still a good read. Both characters are lovely and interesting and the story and art definitely worth experiencing I would say. Give it a try, I don't think it's a regrettable choice to read it. :)

The story is really interesting, something new and realistic tbh since this could so easily happen irl (needing to break a language barrier, etc.). The characters feel realistic but due to the rather quick, not to say rushed, plot they all feel a little too shallow or shoehorned here and there. You just don't get to know them as well and info finds no time to settle since the next happening is immediately there to keep you busy. This story could have done better with 5 to 10 chapters instead. Getting to know each person more, etc.. It would also have helped the emotional immersion, let's call it. Even the ML crying did not have the heavy impact it could have had if the build up was done better by letting the story work with emotions and immersion some more. Which can really only be done by giving it more time. It is still a good read tho, despite being so quick. It doesn't feel rushed like we usually see in actually rushed plot stories, which I find odd. Can't put my finger on why. Tho this is definitely pointing towards the writing ability of this author being good, I'd dare say. The art might need some getting used to due to the style, similar to stuff like Haikyuu!! does, but it's really nicely drawn with lots of detail and effort. :) Worth a read if you're looking for something different and quick to read. So give it a go. ^^

MY REVIEW: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/19238227/ The art, the writing of the dialogue and story, the characters, everything is just so good in this comic~. The only thing I would say is irking me is that the poor coworker didn't end up being a friend to them/having the lie cleared up. I would have loved for the three of them to be friends and be able to talk casually. Tho the choice is understandable from an irl point of view. One way or another, i think this is VERY much worth reading. It's realistic in many ways, wholesome and sweet, adorable and funny, yet also has it's dose of seriousness and sad moments and even a bit of drama (but NOT overdone to make it annoying or drag the plot). Just an allround nicely written story and characters. Definitely worth reading, so give it a go. :)
SHOCK! My Favorite Online Beauty Streamer Showed Up at My Work, and What Happened Next…
My review: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/19280767/ This is a hilarious story and well written too! I just love it! XD The MC is such a perfect, chaotic portrayal of someone socially awkward (not the introvert type tho). So it makes for a fun read with that alone. But the love interest Sakaki is incredibly charming and lovely too, he truly acts like a person, fully understanding and giving leeway to an awkward moment and not taking it as whatever akward mess just happened. He knows the struggle of the MC and understands to let him gather himself and explain, so seeing someone as accepting and as understanding as him interact with an awkward mess like the MC is just really a treat in many ways. <3 I think it could have done better with a bit more info on Sakaki, I would have loved getting to know him some more, he's interesting. But it is a good read regardless, tho way too quick: I need 10 more chapters of these precious dorks! Definitely recommended for someone looking for a simple, funny read with a cute little romance attached. Give it a try, I don't think you'll regret it. :)
