This is a workplace romance manga that slowly delves into the lives of some otaku coworkers. Mainly: Hirotaka & Narumi, Kabakura & Hana.
I don’t care much for Narumi since she’s rather annoying for my taste but Hirotaka and Nao are my favorite characters with interesting personalities that contrast each other. Despite the cold attitude Hirotaka seems to have, he shows there’s that sibling love and irritancy between Nao and himself. As for Kabakura and Hana, I wish to see their relationship outside the view of others since they tend to be seemingly toxic in front of other people (they are quite a competitive and angry pair).
Overall I love this manga so far! It’s difficult to find (English print) workplace romance manga that isn’t straight up smut or yaoi (prefer BL’s more cutesy love).
