I gave this a 3. It might be a 3.5, but I couldn't round up. Books 1, 2, and 5 are about the couple in the description. It's a light, cute story, with some funny moments, and a small bit of drama. Not very graphic. I'd give it a 4. Books 3 and 4 are pretty much all about two side characters and it's... complicated. It gave me feels, but I'm not really sure what kind, and there isn't a conclusion to their story, but that might be good thing? Idk, but it brought it down a star for me.

An enjoyable workplace romance. I rented then purchased the series. I could have done with a bit more romance from the H. I like sadistic boyfriends to actually care about their partners before they mess with them as much as this guy did. It took him a while to figure it out. I've read through book 7, and as another reviewer said, it could end there, though I would love to see more of them as a couple since we only got a glimpse in book 7. However, there are some unfinished plot points that make me nervous, mainly *** SPOILER *** the step-mom. First, the H needs to tell the h stat. Also, I feel like whatever is going on with his family is going to play a bigger role in their story. Maybe the S-M was only introduced to explain the H's past, but since this series still shows as ongoing, I think that chick's coming home to roost.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. It starts with a longer story arc, which is followed by several one shots. Fair warning, yes, there are some sweet stories here. However, they are also smutastic, and aside from the first story, kinda pervy and kinky. The one shots were good. There were a couple I would have liked to read more about. The art is really nice and the characters are both hot and adorable. This is more of "light your fire" kind of book, not a "curl up and grab your heart because they're so cute" kind. I rented then purchased, so I guess I recommend it.

As to be expected from the description, excellent smutty times abound in this manga. The MCs are cute and the art is nice, so good stuff there. However, where this series also shines is how complete of a story we get. Often in romance manga, we only see up until the confession and then the story fades to a HEA with no real details as to what they're like as a couple. In this story, not only do we get a nice buildup to the confessions, (and it's real feelings from both guys; no wishy-washy, vague stuff), but also half of the story is about them getting settled as a couple and how they deal with stuff. I love the glimpses we get of how Akiyoshi feels, and how he likes to tease Tachibana. The only thing I would have liked is more of Akiyoshi's perspective and seeing/understanding his family situation too. There is some drama/angst, but I could handle most of it. This is one of my faves for sure. So in short, it's a hot, sweet story I'll reread. Definitely worth all the points.

This was pure funny and adorable fluff. I wish we could have seen the stories more completed, but they were still lighthearted fun. And FYI, if you're looking for smexy times, look elsewhere. Just kissing here.

This is a three story collection. The last was my favorite. Nothing too extraordinary, but kind of angsty. The art is only okay and the smexy times aren't as natural as some, maybe because it progresses so quickly. The girls all pretty much look alike. Not a bad read, but I wouldn't reread them.
