sadslime's manga / #Heterosexual romance(102)

Kanade is a popular office worker with a secret hobby--after work, he likes to dress up as a pretty girl. Meanwhile, his coworker Aki is known as a cold and unapproachable woman, but in her private life she dresses like an ambiguously gendered punk. The two meet in their off-work personas and hit it off, striking up a friendship, but when Kanade realizes Aki is actually his coworker, he realizes that this will mean the end of their budding friendship. Cute and interesting reversal of norms and expectations. No trigger warning.

Nijiko is an out of luck writer who passed out on the street one day from lack of food, and she was picked up by Sogo, a high spec man who had just put his life together after a bad breakup. At first, Nijiko thinks of herself as something like Sogo's pet, but when she says she should probably leave before she relies on him too much, he declares that she could stay if she was his lover and things get physical. I like Nijiko as a non-traditional female lead, even if the story is fairly standard. No trigger warnings.
