Sweat and Soap, Vol. 4 by Kintetsu Yamada
5.0
While I feel like the discussions on moving in with a significant other were a bit lighter than I would have liked, Natori still shows how mature he is for wanting to consult with others, fix his mistakes, and really listen Asako's feelings on the matter. Seriously, this series gets massive bonus points purely for having adults act like FUCKING ADULTS instead of teenagers trapped in adult bodies. I also like how both Asako and Natori are making lists of things they would want/ expectations both would have if they were to live with each other. It's a good jumping off point to spark conversations about household duties, supplies, etc.
Aside from that, Asako's meeting with her coworkers and Natori's coworkers was really sweet and adorable. I love how supportive everyone is and how they're willing to keep Asako's and Natori's relationship a secret without being promised anything in return. Boy, I never thought I'd be this starved for decent, supportive adults acting like responsible adults, but this series is keeping me fed. I am certainly not gonna complain about that.
While I feel like the pacing is a bit fast for a romance series, I don't think that it's so sudden that decisions like these come from nowhere. I am curious to see if the pacing slows a bit when they move in together, but even if it doesn't I'm still thoroughly enjoying this series.
