sadslime's manga / #Office love(84)

Kouhei Igarashi is a terrible boss, the kind who abuses his power and talks down to his workers. Wataru Momose is his perfect subordinate who always has a scary look on his face. It turns out, that's because Momose is in love with Igarashi and gets too nervous when he talks to him, and he's also unflappably optimistic, so he takes all of Igarashi's criticisms as compliments and loves him for it. Igarashi is a truly unlikable main character, though to be fair, it is Momose who takes advantage of him while drunk. Trigger warnings: drunk sex, power imbalance.

But when Mitsuya's ex comes back into the picture, Tomoya can no longer just sit back and watch. Very cute with some really solid character moments. I especially like that the ex felt like a real person and not just a plot device. Trigger warning: mention of cheating.
