'Sweat and Soap' by Kintetsu Yamada is a sweet if slightly strange romantic comedy manga about a girl who sweats a lot and a boy who is a perfume design and likes how she smells. It is a cute office romance that works well because both of the characters are so genuine. Asako is incredibly self-conscious about how she smells and seeing how Koutarou appreciates her while also making her feel loved and cared for is endearing to read. It can take a bit to get over the strange concept but the way that these characters interact with each other makes it easy to care for them. I can't wait to read more and see how their relationship develops.
