A review by shryanayak
Midnight Secretary, Vol. 01 by Tomu Ohmi
3.0
••• this is a combined review for all volumes of the manga
Kaya Satozuki (22) is a workaholic, capable woman who, after working hard for two years is appointed as the secretary of the director of Touma Corporation. The catch is that Kyouhei Touma (26) is an infamous rake in the corporate world, very well-known to mix his business with pleasure. Safe to say that his cabin's always occupied.
All the secretaries previously known to have worked under this tycoon somehow left under mysterious circumstances.
Every single of them.
After being hounded by his father and older brother, Touma agrees, albeit reluctantly, to employ Satozuki as his latest secretary.
Satozuki knows that she has to always stay on guard from Touma but both Satozuki & Touma have their own secrets. But once fate spills the beans the pull between them becomes unignorable.
Touma was a cheating, alpha-jerk. Satozuki is strong and level-headed yet she can't make sense of this unexplainable emotions she feels towards the director. He hurts her a dozen of times by being crude and unsympathetic, treating her as just an object to be toyed with. Satozuki understands that, soon beginning to abhor her affections towards such an undeserving guy but for a reason I don't understand even now, she randomly decides to go back to being his secretary for a reason that's totally absurd. Touma was attractive but toxic just the same.
On a totally different note though, I enjoyed all the little text bubbles where the author gave us more insight about her experiences while coming up the characters. Totally kawaii :)
(!) Includes mature content.
