The premise for this series is so fucking weird, but in practice this was actually a really sweet romance featuring a couple with remarkably good communication skills. The number one thing that drives me crazy in romance books is when there's a small problem that could be so quickly fixed by one adult conversation but, instead, the main couple just pouts in their opposite corners for 200 pages, and, at least in this first volume, this book completely avoids that issue. Literally every time this couple has a misunderstanding they talk it out in less than 5 pages, and both of the MC's are surprisingly emotionally intelligent and well adjusted. I really didn't expect to like this as much as I did, and I will defiantly be continuing the series.

Admittedly watch the drama before picking up the manga so was aware that it begins frivolously with little character development in favor of the main female character's firsts - boyfriend and sex (So definitely not for children!) The reader is made aware of her insecurities which stem largely from childhood bullying, but there is little emphasis placed on those events aside from her obsessive attention to her body odor. The only thing we learn about the main male character is that he has a really sensitive nose, is really good at his job, and is obsessed with the way the main female character smells.

Despite a bizarre first chapter, I found the rest of this manga extremely endearing and enjoyable. I am NOT a shoujo person, but I am well aware of how romance in any medium is usually saturated with miscommunication as a device to create contrived drama and this book does not have that. Both the main characters have such a healthy relationship, and the way they communicate is definitely a huge selling point for me. I love how adult and mature their relationship is and how they fix the issues that come up in their blossoming romance, it's so refreshing. Usually romance gives me secondhand embarrassment but this one was just so charming and believable, I really enjoyed it. Of course, it has its silly moments but I think that's par for the course so it's not that big of an issue. Very worth-reading!

Does this manga start off a little weird? Yes. Is it still enjoyable, cute and adorable? Also, yes!

Although I admit the way, the characters met and how their romance begins to bloom is a little weird with the whole sniffing and falling in love with her scent. But I also low-key understand it because I love my husband sent and I love to smell him so I can only imagine what these two characters feel in those moments. I also love that these two characters have a mature emotional response when they are having a conflict or misunderstanding. it’s refreshing.

I also really enjoy the attic spice 😏 🥵

So I will say this, don’t knock it until you try it. Although I didn’t LOVE the first volume, I anticipate I am going to end up loving this manga series.

Really good first volume! I love the characters and their dynamic! Even though the premise of a guy fetishizing a woman’s scent is rather weird, the romance was actually very sweet and wholesome. I can’t wait to see where this office romance goes!

Sweetest, cutest, and most loving relationship I’ve seen in a book/manga. Open communication and clear love for their partner. I would kill and die for this book
