[DeepL Translation - needs review] ASAHI SHIGIZAWA Rei, a gay man who has devoted himself to his work, is fed up with the society where he can't get married to a man of the same sex but is always forced to go along with heterosexual couples. She bumps into her former colleague, Sayaka, who is popular with men and has retired on a career break, and remembers how much she liked him, but as she makes small talk with him, Sayaka asks her to stay over for the night since she has nowhere to go...!...
Interesting story so far - a (seemingly closeted) unhappy, married woman becoming an 居候, in an overworked lesbian バリキャリ独女 (single career woman's) apartment. At first it seemed a bit unbelievable how she just seemed to be throwing herself at the OL... but it adds up more, as the story progresses.
I found myself having to look up various occupational and adulting sorta terms, but otherwise, the vocab and grammar are relatively straightforward. Only occasional furigana.
I'm looking forward to se
