Linnea's manga / #salaryman(31)

17.10.2020 Volume 1 This story is about how a kouhai fell in love with his senpai the boss when he started working under him. A few years down the line, when he’s turning thirty and the boss is turning fourty...the unrequited love comes to light and they become a very lovely couple. The most lovely thing about them is how much they both bring out the best in each other, and how much they complement one another. Oh, the fact that the younger man LOVES his older man’s cooking (he eats it to the point of gettong hamster cheeks!) is adorable. And the say the older man isn’t really shy to say thing even if he blushes and gets embarrassed due to being sex shy a LOT is also lovely. Also, what starts with with girl talk (about how all the women keeps looking at how handsome the younger man is) at a pancake place and ends with boy talk (about masturbatory aids among other things...) over beer and food at home? Well, this couple’s story. Loved it. 30.1.2021 - Volume 2 The older man gets insecure when his superior at work notices his necktie around the younger man’s neck. Drama ensures, and they’re both so unhappy :( (ch 1-2) 24.7.2022 ch 3-5 They fought, and the older guy outed himself to his two collegues (the bosses), and they supported him being in a relationship this messy (with a younger man, and subordinate to boot), and the guys fought and so very much grown up, and made up, made compromises, and damn it my heart can’t take this much amount of reasonable realistic fluff! 20.10.2023 Vol 2 ch 6 - 6.5 + side stories 5.5-5.6 Onsen trip. Moving in together, Nozue proposing to Togawa. Them calling each other Saki (Nozue) and Minoru (Togawa). There’s this pointed scene in the onsen trip when an elderly lady at a ceramics shop treats them very naturally as lovers, and automatically changes a couple set of bowl into two equally large ones. And they both get so flustered because of the acceptance, and it’s so poignant. Damn it, this whole story just goes around your heart and makes it soft and fluffy! Even the sex, goddess damn it!, and it hits so in the feels!

3.12.2020 Ah, this mangaka is just so good at depicting those relatiinship where one of the partners just either overthinks all the times, or just plain worties around ALL the time. The couple with the salaryman and the 3rd year uni student were just both belivable and absurdly cute at the same time. ”You’re so cool”, like, oh mai gawd could you blush even more prettily?!? And crushing on someone for more than 2 years, seriously?! Oh, and the couple with the straight seme who’s mom was like "It's lonely with only my son so here take a bag of rice too." .

3.1.2021 It’s unclear to me if Shiro and Keima gets together in the end, or if they just ”spend their lives together” at the Circus as owners of the data system corporation and the café.

3.2.2021 Two stories - one about an office romance between two managers and another between a high up government office worker and a struggling painter/parttime AV actor.
