nickel_books 's review for:

Sweat and Soap, Vol. 1 by Kintetsu Yamada

3.75

funny lighthearted fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: Yes

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.
