(3.60/5)Cute and wholesome
This is a wholesome story about a man starting a new job; he suffered intense workplace harassment from his previous boss, and has to work through that trauma with his new one. Thankfully, his new boss is a bit clutzy and airheaded, leading to some sweet scenes, and a nice reminder that not everyone's a terrible person. We're also introduced to some coworkers along the way, who round out the book nicely.
I definitely enjoyed this book; it felt like a hot drink and a cozy blanket. The jokes were sweet rather than funny, I thought, and while I'm not sure how long the author can stretch them, this first volume hit all the right notes.
No furigana aside from some names, but the vocab is all really common stuff; there's a few office-related words, but not as many as I was expecting. Grammar felt pretty N3 to me as well.
Due to workplace harassment, Momose (桃瀬) has started a job at a new advertising firm. Still traumatized from his former boss he's anxious to work under his new boss Shirosaki (白崎), who however turns out to be an adorable clutz and cat lover . (Not really a spoiler since it's literally in the title)
It's a heartwearming and wholesome story without any drama, very healing. The episodes are short and rather slice of life.
There isn't any furigana, so it's a bit difficult to look up unknown words, however the language style is pretty much everyday Japanese in a workplace setting. Sometimes there will be funny wordplays when Shirosaki misunderstands something.
I can also highly recommend checking out the anime which goes a bit further than the manga (the story from the manga is handled up until episode 10 or so I think).
Not great
Very effeminate pansy boys. It feels gay but doesn't quite cross any boundaries. I didn't see the appeal and feel that there is a small target market for this type of thing.
