テレワァク与太話 [Telework Yotabanashi] by Kintetsu Yamada

5.0

Your Honor, I love them. <3

5 STARS EVERY DAY, FOREVER. I was absolutely beside myself when I seen my favorite mangaka in the read now section. Kintetsu's "Sweat and Soap" has been ingrained into my soul since I first read it in 2021 (in love with the sneak peaks at these panels when it shows him reading manga). The story was so well executed as a one-shot manga that it didn't feel like we were missing anything. All of the sweetness, love, tension, personality, and growth that I crave in my reads was perfectly balanced here with Nokoru and Natsu. Nokoru, while reserved and awkward, didn't fight the pull that naturally seems to gravitate from Natsu. Natsu knew what she wanted, and she could clearly see that she needed to take the reins so that her sweet boy could thrive. Works like this is what keeps me knee deep in manga.

Thank you, NetGalley, for this wonderful opportunity at an ARC.
