slow burn excellence
The unique title and gorgeous cover art caught my attention at a Barnes and Noble, and ended up buying it for the Kindle. I absolutely enjoyed the slowly budding romance between the main characters. Highly recommend for those that enjoy these types of love stories. ❤️

An exploration of loneliness
I really enjoyed the art from this. The story is a really nice office romance with good pacing. It's a good study in loneliness and fear of the unknown.Nozue lacks the self-confidence he once had as he has gotten older, and instead of stretching himself he has fallen into a safe, dependable routine. He fears change. This explores how Togawa gets Nozue to start facing his fears and open up to new things again. The whole conversation around loneliness and how it can stop you from enjoying life is a good one.

It was cute
I liked seeing them get close and start something new. I came from seeing the show first so I'm excited to see what else there is after they get together

Old Fashioned Cupcake
By far one of the cutest Yaoi manga I have seen in a long while. These two are so cute. Nozue is constantly feeling down on himself for being old. Togawa is trying to get him out of that. They do all these things like teen girls would do. At some point it comes out that Togawa has a crush. Nozue thinks it is a female and pulls away.Then finally they admit their love for one another. Nozue starts making food Togawa would like, At the end it is a bit erotic.But what love between these two. Two people who just work together are now so much more!AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ!10/10+

A realistic, everyday adult kind of romance
Nozue is stuck in his ways, a manager and feeling old. Togawa works in his department, is often on assignment with him and was inspired by him to seize life when he was first hired, now it’s his turn to help Nozue, his secret crush, to re-kindle his zest for life. It’s a wonderful slow build romance. A great read, and nice art.

Sweet BL manga.
This is a romance story about two men who have worked together for years. Nozue's (the boss) routine never changes until Togawa (his subordinate) interrupts it. It's a cute story about finding love when you least expect it.

A sweet, fun story about love, aging, and taking chances. I watched the live action drama as well. If you like this you'll definitely like the drama. Cannot recommend both enough.

Leitura muito agradável
Gostei bastante, primeiro avaliando a história em si, eu gosto muito de história leves, agradáveis, e gosto muito do estilo de um dos protagonistas ser estilo Ted bear like, uma história cotidiana, slowburn, sem muitos dramas e sem toxicidade. Gosto de como quem escreveu não repete alguns clichês do tipo "somos dois homens por isso não daria certo" e sim o drama em si esta em um reflexão quanto a fase da vida, por um dos protagonistas ser mais velho, acho coerente suas preocupações. Quando ja pensava que terminaria sem levinho, apesar do anúncio na capa de conteúdo explícito, os capítulos bônus vem com um conteúdo caliente, o que me agradou bastante. Gostei dos protagonistas e da narrativa usada.Quanto a avaliação da edição em si, a capa é muito bonita, com uma página colorida logo no início, é um volume mais grosso, comparado aos outros que tenho da sublime e achei mais bem acabado q os que tenho. Não gosto muito do papel de jornal que segue na edição, mas como é meio padrão, me agradou que não tem transparência nas folhas e todas vieram bem impressas e sem defeitos. Gostei muito no geral e valeu o investimento.

Unproblematic and Adorable
What can I say? This manga is a winner. We all know BL is infamous for being full of red flags and unclear consent, but the two romantic characters in OFC fly nothing but green flags. The wonderful, super romantic progression of their relationship written and illustrated in this manga left me nearly in happy tears at some parts. The wholesomeness of the story and overall message of “to not hold yourself back from experiencing true happiness out of fear” is profound and touching. Also there is spice, but it is very tasteful and not gratuitous. It adds to the complexity and depth of the two leads’ relationship, and is not fan service-y at all imo. Reading this BL manga was a breath of fresh air, and gave me hope that there is still good BL manga out there that isn’t cringe or disturbing to read. I highly recommend.
