SWEAT AND SOAP GN #4

(W) Kintetsu Yamada (A) Kintetsu Yamada

In an office romance, there's a fine line between sexy and awkward...and that line is where Asako-a woman who sweats copiusly-met Koutarou-a perfume developer who can't get enough of Asako's, er, scent. Don't miss a romcom manga like no other! LUNCH DREAD NAtori and Asako are back from their first trip together, a romantic getaway to Hokkaido. But when Asako returns to the office, her anxiety comes back, too, because it's time to let their secret out and reveal their relationship to their coworkers. NAtori sets up a lunch to introduce Asako to his teammates in product development. But this is a far cry from the accounting department, and NAtori's coworkers all seem fashio NAble, ambitious, cool-on a whole different level! Suddenly, those moments spent soaking in the hot spring bath seem so far away! The hilarious ups and downs of an office romance at a perso NAl care products company are the subject of this sexy, strange romp. Sweat and Soap combines the odd-couple chemistry of Wotakoi, the "too real!" workplace comedy of Aggretsuko, and a heavy dollop of office steaminess!
