Chéri, My Destiny! by Okoge Mochino

Content warning: Explicit sexual scenes

This was a short and sweet read that was such a delight after some rather serious books I've been reading lately. I love Kaoru - he's so hilarious - and Sojiro is a quiet but secretly sweet and passionate guy that you can't help but adore. It's such a sweet manga - no unnecessary drama, and there's an added benefit of really delicious looking goodies given that both characters run/own sweet shops. Kaoru runs a Western-style sweet shop names Bisous, while Sojiro runs the family-business: a Japanese-style sweet shop with decades worth of devoted clientele. They have very different menus but both come to realize they could learn something from the other; and of course there's the swoony love story. It happens fast - Kaoru basically falls for Sojiro the moment he sees him - but it's still a sweet story of watching the two of them get together. All in all, it's a really enjoyable read!
