The way I tell you I want to just throw myself out the window from how fucking amazing this story is!!! Dear lord! Their chemistry is OFF THE CHARTS!
When the office's straight "Prince Charming," Hikaru, visits a gay bar, he encounters a suave and charismatic player-one who, for some reason, can't stand him. Driven by pride, Hikaru becomes obsessed with winning him over, unaware that this mysterious man is none other than Shinobu, his seemingly nerdy and unattractive coworker. Like a real-life Clark Kent, Shinobu hides behind his unassuming nerdy and loser-like office persona to keep a low profile. But instead of successfully wooing his new obsession, Hikaru finds himself completely swept off his feet in a whirlwind of charm, wit, and unexpected romance. A hilarious rom-com with tasteful smut that will make not just your heart throb! 🩵💕

Mình mê quyển này ngay từ cái bìa(,,•﹏•,,) lúc nhìn cái bìa là mình đoán nhân vật của nó sẽ "chất chơi" thế nào và quả nhiên là thế.
Anh chàng seme Urakawa Shinobu trong quyển này đúng kiểu vừa trông quyến rũ, vừa hài vừa kinh khủng, lần nào nhìn cũng thấy mê luôn íiiiii
Mấy câu nói, hành động lần nào nhìn cũng muốn đổ gục, vừa thấy buồn cười.
Nét vẽ nhân vật đúng mê luôn í (vẫn nhất là Shinobu), cảnh H thì trông gợi tình, mlem, quắn quéo quá trời quá đất („ಡωಡ„)
Còn nội dung thì không mấy đặc biệt. Mối quan hệ của Shinobu và cậu đồng nghiệp Hikaru thì cũng bình thường, từ tình địch rồi phát triển thành mối quan hệ lãng mạn, bù lại mình thích cách tác giả sắp xếp mấy cái tình huống oan gia, hài khiếp, có một chút dễ thương. Nhân vật phụ cũng khiến truyện trở nên thú vị hơn, nhưng vẫn không tránh được là cốt truyện của quyển này dễ đoán và cái kết cũng thế. Mình thắc mắc Vol.2 sẽ có những gì? Chắc là ghen hay drama gì đó.

This was fun and ridiculous, and I had the best time reading it.

“But hey, at the end of the end of the day if we feel the same about each other…isn’t that good enough?”
Heme aquí yo los primeros capítulos diciendo: menudo gilipollas este Shinobu. Muy guapo muy casanova e intenta fastidiar de una manera que yo no concibo a su compañero de trabajo. Sin embargo, a medida que pasa la historia, se va dando de su error y empieza a sentir cosas.
Bueno, pues yo también he empezado a sentir cosas porque me enamorado de Shinobu. No es coña, menudo personaje. Se ha convertido en mi protegido, me niego a cualquier comentario negativo de este señor.

This was so good 🫶🏻 hot, funny and cute ✨ the chemistry between them was so palpable 🤭 one of those good short bl mangas I highly recommend ❤️

This is a reread. I like it more this time around. The story is about our two leads toying around with each other and accidentally getting attached. I enjoy how stubborn and prideful they are. It's funny how they both think they have the upper hand in the situation while being in denial of their feelings. While they do have chemistry together, their relationship is rooted more in physical compatibility so I question how long they would last in a relationship. The twins also crack me up. Every chapter, I was waiting for them to pop up with their outfits and shenanigans.

Voy a tener que esperar quién sabe cuantos meses para poder leer la secuela 🥹 Se me había olvidado lo bonito del dibujo de Niyama y sus escenas traka son *chef kiss* hasta yo me quedé embobada con los dos JAJAJAJAJAJA

At first I thought that only one of them was an asshole, and then I realised that they were both asssholes, but then they both softened to each other and neither ended up as an asshole.
Character growth! As long as you're not looking for an in-depth story, this is is pretty much what it says on the tin. Good times, good artwork.

Este es un BL que tiene a un par de asalariados: el “príncipe” Hikaru, que es el mejor en relaciones públicas y ventas, y Shinobu, “el ninja” que pasa desapercibido en el trabajo, pero que fuera de éste es casi casi un idol en el bar gay al que frecuenta.
Shinobu deliberadamente utiliza su apariencia para provocar el efecto de Superman: un chico con lentes, desalineado que no voltearías a ver y que, cuando se lo propone, en realidad es alguien sumamente llamativo y que se la vive de parranda, teniendo encuentros sexuales constantemente.
Los dos tienen sus propios prejuicios para con el otro, así que al inicio es un tira y afloja muy entretenido ya que buscan engatusar y manipular al otro con “sus encantos”. Pero, como ya era de esperar, terminan en las redes del otro, casi sin querer.
Siento que Niyama es especialista en crear a personajes aparentemente muy bobos que en realidad son muy atractivos y que, con la cantidad justa de presión, ceden ante sus propios deseos sin importar lo que esto conlleve. Además, sus escenas de sexo son muuuy sexies.
Este es un BL del que terminé comprando una copia física porque me gusta mucho cómo Hikaru y Shinobu se llevan y sé que lo releeré en un futuro. Siento que será otra trilogía que amaré.

Shinobu tiene dos apariencias, la que muestra en su trabajo y la que muestra por la noche en el bar.
En el trabajo trata de ser invisible, pero para su mala suerte siempre se tropieza con un superior, Hikaru, al cual no soporta. Para su desgracia su Némesis llega a su santuario y altera su tan preciada vida nocturna.
Las cosas se van a desarrollar de una manera inesperada, pero la verdad estoy satisfecha con ella
Relectura 23/02/2025 tomo fisico ...y descubriendo que hay una segunda parte que espero conseguir pronto

Shinobu is the geeky, clumsy guy at the office, the complete opposite of Hikaru, who everyone calls "The Prince". But when Hikaru shows up at the bar where Shinobu lets his hair down, his desire to get one up on the guy who has everything gets the better of him! An interesting couple with a great dynamic and hot and sexy times, a great casual read.

I didn’t expect to like this one as much as I did, both characters are way too full of themselves for my usual taste but I loved how easily they fell in love despite themselves. Plus the way Hikaru fall apart for Shinobu 🥵
January 16, 2026
Oigan que los de la compañía están ciegos porque Shinobu está igual de sexy con los lentes y el traje de trabajo (que bien comes Hikaru, te envidio). Pero ya en serio muy divertido, me gustó.
Pd. esto es spoiler del volumen 2, pero el sueño con el night-self y day-self, buenísimo. Le beso el cerebro a Niyama, acertó mucho, gracias.

Why I read it: Enemies to lovers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thoughts: This is the last of my BL manga reviews for now, and I honestly think this might be the best one of the lot. I unfortunately read it too close to the start and the disappointments that came after (Seaside Stranger, Senpai This Can't Be Love!, Deadlock) kind of soured me on my whole nostalgia-filled reading process, but just thinking about this title gets me revved up again!!
First off, the hilarious enemies to lovers situation does not get resolved until close to the end of the volume! And even then, they still bicker and tease each other, which is great. The characters, Shinobu and Hikaru, are suuuuuper into each other, but to go from arguing/teasing to complete sugary soulmate-y lovey-doveyness would have been a terrible switch-up.
Second off, the reason why the enemies to lovers sitch is so funny is because Shinobu is pulling off a real-life Clark Kent switcheroo: during the day he slouches, wears thick glasses, brushes his hair into, I guess, an unappealing/inconvenient style, and also acts like a total klutz; at night, he's super suave and sexy, confident, all slicked back and powerful.
Third off, even though Shinobu does initially get with Hikaru in an attempt to teach him a lesson or potentially obtain blackmail on Hikaru, whom he absolutely loathes and who loathes him, he eventually realises that he's in too deep and he's caught feelings. And what do Hikaru and Shinobu do about it once the jig is up? They communicate. There is betrayal and hurt, but they really do talk it through and agree to be together without the pretense. There is still room for growth (as evidenced by the fact that there's like two more volumes in the series), but they get a lot done in just one volume, with decent pacing to boot.
Fourth off, the steamy scenes are plenty steamy. Hikaru, who thought he was God's gift to women, is so needy and attention-seeking (I wonder why, genuinely) that he wants to become God's gift to men too, even though he's not actually sexually interested in men (until Shinobu), so Shinobu gets to crack the shell of a very snooty virgin, and it's pretty good. When Shinobu goes "I'm going teach you a lesson about your own body" and proceeds to introduce Hikaru to his own prostate: 10/10.
Fifth off, man, I love the art. Shinobu is a literal Clark Kent, and Hikaru is so pretty. I also love their individual personalities and insecurities and everything else about them.
So this manga is, to me, 10s across the board.
Would I read more: More from this author and more in this series, yes!!!
Would I reread it: Yes!

Well, this is so far, out of the 5 I’ve read by this author, my favorite. It is not a complicated story and it delivers all the necessary. The enemies to lovers was perfectly built, I still think it was to rush at the very end when everything comes out, but hey, it was still okay and according to the story. I was cheering for them and screaming, that says much

I really like the secrecy with the seme being hawt at night and geeky during work hours. Also the uke is hawt too…

I love this author so much. The art is amazing. The humor is impeccable. The romance is smutty yet beautifully wholesome. I eat it up 🤤

Using the Superman trope of wearing glasses makes you a different person is really fun in a book. Revenge to lovers is also a interesting idea for a book but I didn’t hate it
