Home Office Romance by Kintetsu Yamada

Home Office Romance by Kintetsu Yamada

From the creator of Sweat and Soap comes a standalone rom-com manga about two neighbors who find unexpected love during lockdown and learn that working from home doesn't mean an office romance can't still blossom.

Story complete in one volume!

Nokoru has been working brutal overtime at a demanding job when the pandemic lockdown finally gives him the chance to telework from home. This new situation (and the time he saves on his commute) lets him rediscover old passions and new hobbies. The lush garden he creates on his apartment balcony provides a chance to get to know his cute neighbor, Natsu, a graduate student in archeology.

How do two adults build a relationship amid "social distancing," when face-to-face interaction is frown upon, even dangerous? It feels like a tall tale to find an office romance at home, but these are strange times...

"Despite its setting during the pandemic—perhaps because of that setting—this is a sweet and hopeful story.. Home Office Romance initially seems like nothing more than a quirky rom-com, but it really captures the hopes and fears of that time in a way that very few other stories yet have." -Otaku USA Magazine

"Five stars... I can definitely see myself rereading this a few times in the future, both to remind myself of the type of romances I want to see more of in fiction and the type of romances I want to see more of in real life." -Anime News Network

"Ten out of ten... An entertaining and heartfelt story that showcases all of the mangaka’s strengths." -Anime UK
