Sweat and Soap

Story & Art by Kintetsu Yamada

Don't miss a romcom manga like no other! In an office romance, there's a fine line between sexy and awkward… and that line is where Asako—a woman who sweats copiously—met Kotaro—a perfume developer who can't get enough of Asako's, er, scent. Asako's living her dream, working at the toiletry maker Liliadrop. Little do her coworkers know, the reason she loves the company so much is that she's ashamed of her body odor, and their soap is the only thing that does the trick. So when the company's lead product developer, a perfuming genius, approaches her in the lobby and wonders what "that smell" is, she's terrified… but could it be… that he likes it? And, even more surprising to Asako… does she like him? The hilarious ups and downs of an office romance at a personal 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!
