muse ✨'s manga / #coworkers(51)

Years after they dated for a month as a result of a punishment game, two men are reunited at work and have a chilly relationship. But after a welcome party, they decide to give dating another whirl.

Two in one: - Our MC rescues a coworker locked in a bathroom stall and discovers it's a former elementary school classmate who's had one hell of a glow-up - Our second MC struggles with growing feelings for the effeminate Gen, a childhood friend he's kept close since finding him in his sister's skirt

After his ex's harassment caused him to quit a promising job, Shima finds work at a smaller company and becomes interested in his manager...who is equally interested in him. I saw the movie first and tracked down the manga. I adore the movie adaptation, but I like the inner thoughts we get in the manga that couldn't be in the film. Shima is a lot sassier on paper.

Playboy Kou picks up poor Shinobu fresh off of a broken heart and brings their one-night-stand into the workplace when they realize they're president and subordinate. But when Shinobu falls in love, Kou cruelly dumps him and moves onto the next toy. Shinobu realizes their relationship was just a game, accepts a job transfer, and ends personal contact. Kou, who has never been in love, grows distracted and ill. Coming to terms with his feelings, he attempts to confess to a wiser Shinobu, who understandably takes it as part of the game and rejects him, leaving Kou to do what he can to regain Shibou's trust. REALLY GOOD CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT! Kou is a real jackass, but he learns from his past behavior and becomes a much better version of himself. I was really surprised and pleased to see a story address this. Shinobu used the time to gain confidence in himself. I hope good things for him. And Shinobu's friend Kenji is the sweetest!

Cute art and rich detail, but no real character development or relationship build. Pretty meh.

The gentle, sassy love story of an overworked government employee and his faithful subordinate.

A man who adores shoujo manga finally experiences love.

High school classmates reunite as coworkers and S&M playmates. Some sweet moments. Features a quick side story with the club owner that actually made me feel something.
