Description
Official English: INKR

27-year-old Hotaru would rather sleep at home than seek romance, but due to unforeseen circumstances, suddenly she's living with her boss, Takano. What's more is that she now has a budding relationship with Makoto, who's younger than she is. Like a dried fish thrown back into the ocean, can she learn to swim again and rediscover the ways of romance?

Picks up mid-ch. 1

When I started reading it, I was turned off by the superplain art and what seemed to be a lame shoujo plot hook -- a 27-year-old woman has to live with her boss. But actually, it doesn't seem too contrived. ^^
Lower rating because of the art.

this is just..plain boring. the characters are not developed, the story is a cliche, and not that funny, and the art is mediocre, all males and females look like they are drawn from one character with different accessories..so if you value your time, skip this one.

Keeping a "spare" boyfriend/Having your cake and eating too

This manga has a huge case of gender-bias resultant from the author's own POV. It's seriously a little messed up from my (a male's) perspective. This selfish bottom-feeder woman attaches herself to her boss and essentially steals his home. She uses him for the emotional aspects of a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship all while having sex and going on dates with her "public" boyfriend. They're really just each being 1/2 of a boyfriend and any rational mind would see what she's doing is two-timing. Not to mention, that the relationship she develops by sponging off her boss basically fucks up his marriage, without any benefits whatsoever for him. It's pure altruism bordering on masochism. It's pretty pathetic in my opinion. On more than one occasions her boss has to vacate his own home so she can fuck her boyfriend in it.

It's just a very typical selfish female state of mind and reading it is very uncomfortable.
