Description:
This girls love workplace rom-com by popular Twitter artist Sal Jiang features two lovestruck coworkers — who each think the other is straight!

Ayaka is passionately, head over heels in love with her work senior, Hiroko. But no matter how hard she tries to catch her eye, the polished, professional Hiroko never seems to get the hint. What’s a girl supposed to do to prove her love to her boss?

Hiroko isn’t out at work — though she’s got a reputation for being a real womanizer in the local lesbian community. But her self-control is tested when her beautiful and busty work subordinate starts getting awfully close to her...

How's a professional supposed to stay cool when she's sure that Ayaka is totally straight?

You and I Are Polar Opposites Volume 8 Manga Review

May 18, 12:00 manga

I have a lot of respect for the relationship built between Taira and Azuma throughout the series. On the other hand, there is a part of me that feels just a little unsatisfied. ― If there's one thing I like about this finale of Polar Opposites, it's how it managed to bring the series full circle. The entire series was built on the idea of characters being obsessed with appearances and overthinking. T...

Creating a Fanclub: Director Sou Toyama on Kirio Fan Club

What makes Kirio Fan Club a more realistic look at high school crushes? Director of the upcoming anime, Sou Toyama, gets into it. ― Kirio Fan Club is not your typical tale of high school love.

I feel like this book suffers a little bit by just having things or ideas brought up out of nowhere with very little fanfare. ― I am once again taking another magical step into the world of Unico and right off the bat, it's great to see this world expand. One thing I loved about this series is how effectively it rides the line between being beautifully mysterious and downright haunting. A lot of that...
