muse ✨'s manga / #salaryman(9)

A salaryman leading an ordinary life stumbles across an AV set and meets the love of his life.

A gay salaryman who has sworn to stop hooking up with straight guys falls for a delightfully clumsy waiter.

A series of light and quick love stories. The most developed is between a calligraphy teacher and one of his students that has gone away to college. No heartache!

Two stories: coworkers in love, and a man who agrees to be in an AV to spare his (stupid) younger sister, and eventually falls for one of the actors.

A manga where someone can cook without injury! A man who works as a cook in a family run store takes notice of a salaryman who always seems to pick up the dishes he makes. This was sweet, with no unnecessary miscommunication, grown-up characters, and no unhappy feelings. I loved it.

Super short but enjoyable oneshots. - Kid with major crush keeps meeting his crush's milestones and they finally get together - Two guys meet up at a reunion and become roommates; later, the teenage son of one assaults the other, but it's what they need to realize their feelings. I actually liked their story the best. - Newbie at work has to track down the old manager, who'd been in a relationship with the president's son and had to resign. - Strong friendship story about a part-timer who works around the clock to make ends meet and is picked up every morning by his manager, whom he originally knew only by his shoes - Two men in a long-term affair suspect they're being followed by a detective hired by one of their wives (they are divorcing)

A subordinate who will do anything for a contract and his chief fall in love when the chief reveals he is gay. But their relationship is tested when the subordinate receives a transfer request for New York. I liked the pacing and how much they genuinely liked each other.

"High-school senior Hawegawa Saturo likes the looks of a man he sees in the train station and follows him, which leads to a one-night stand. Although there is no promise of a relationship, he grabs 23-year old Kubata Hiroki's business card, as a sort of good-luck charm that they'll meet again. But Hiroki is suffering from unrequited love for his senpai, who is getting married soon. Can Saturo make Hiroki see him, love him, instead of using him as a stand-in for another man?" The art is drawn so both characters look extremely young, but I eventually got past that.
