Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Boss X employee(5)

This was probably the first Josei that I have really enjoyed. I liked both stories but Mr Cinderella was the best. The FMC was adorably assertive and for all that she wanted to give her boss a makeover, she won me over totally when she said she loved him just as he is.

This was an interesting story. Set in the world of civil servants in the bureaucracy of government, working for the betterment of Japan, we got to read about the heavy demands of the job and workaholism on the MCs and their relationship. Kashiwagi studied law at Tokyo Uni and moved straight into bureaucracy roles. Serious and thorough, he is mentored by Imamaya-san (Section manager of the Policy Division of the Economic and Policy Bureau) and over the years also becomes the protective nurturer of the quirky boss who forgets to eat, drink and sleep when busy (aka always). In the story we follow the cost of a job where you may get 3 hours of sleep a night in terms of relationships (Imamiya-san divorced x 3, father of 1 and Kashiwagi divorced x 1) and health as Imamiya collapses from a heart attack at work. How can the MCs have a romance in all this? The confronting illness and caring by Kashiwagi are the impetus needed to get these two bone heads to turn to each other. Their romance is sweetly “them” because the caring they have towards each other has been evident for ages, but now they show their vulnerability more and Ofc skinship, kissing, sex etc. I have never read a story quite like this, where almost all the MCs identity was tied to work. It was confronting yet charming, and worth your time if you like something different.

Naïve country girl heads to Tokyo on the night bus for a dream job interview. After spying the couple in front having sex, Momoko finds herself at the mercy of the handsome stranger next to her who uses the lusty scene to play with her body. Ofc, he turns out to be her new boss and he will be giving her a lot more hands on experience at work too. It’s all a scene for smut and falling for the boss.

Lovely artwork, delightfully uncensored, and really sweet MCs. Idk that this is a true fetish story, there seemed to be affection beyond ears for those “gentle brown eyes” and the kind nature of Kotaro Shizume. Not denying those ears were sensitive though. Still, this was sexy and hot, and I am sad that there isn’t more.

Delightfully fluffy and warm, this story tells of a pair of opposites who unexpectedly fall for each other. Tall yet remarkably ordinary, Fukawa was a temporary staff member who was used to being taken for granted and overlooked. When he was approached by his office senior, the aloof and professional Subada Rinji, to work full time in his new business venture, Fukawa was astonished yet delighted to accept. Working closely with his new boss, Fukawa quickly became aware of the extraordinary effect that Rinji had on those around him. And as circumstances bought them closer together he found himself falling for his unnervingly direct boss. But did that make him just another who made Rinji uncomfortable?
