this was cuter than i expected.

actually, it wasn't even the romance that i found captivating. it was cute and all, but what overpowered it in this short oneshot was the relationship between the older man and his best friend/president. the bromance was offfff the chartssss. i'd love to see more based on those two alone.

Suzuki Tsuta has created a story whereby even men in their 50s can be cute beyond words! The characters are believable and realistic though

The story feels incomplete. I hope the mangaka will extend this oneshot into a series.

western usage of "shounen ai" always cracks me up -- there are no young boys involved here, and there's no "pure" love; quite the opposite. but there's no sex, indeed.

this is way too short and shallow for me to even start caring about any of the characters. extra point for using older men.

Suzuki Tsuta writes some of the most enjoyable one shots. Despite the short length she's able to do what a lot of mangaka can't do in a whole volume of manga. This wasn't one of her best one though. It's intriguing and I'd love to know more about the people, but I don't think she quite let us into the world enough this time for this story to be enjoyable. It just leaves you wanting more while leaving you unsatisfied as to what you got.

Hmm, this feels somewhat incomplete.
But it was a nice oneshot.
A shounen-ai, for those who wonder.

The story is about a 50yr old man dating a younger co-worker.
I could see some outlines for further developments, but the whole thing was too thin.
Let's hope there's a sequel.
