Sweat and Soap, Vol. 5 by Kintetsu Yamada

5.0

I've been on a Sweat and Soap reread bender lately because it's a top 5 romance for me ever. I'm writing a review here because I particularly like volumes 5 and 6 as Yamada starts approaching territory of genuine conflict and certain ugly feelings. In particular, you get to see the ways in which while Asako is the more inexperienced partner, Kotaro is not so dissimilar given that this seems to be his first serious romantic relationship. It's just so good!
