salaryman x new graduate.
a cute salaryman story filled with single, handsome elite workers in one dorm plus their secret (human) cat . I love the guys on their floor. They are so accommodating to uke even if they don't have to (and it's against the rules to keep him). Such eye-candy, this dorm.
little brother is getting cosier with elder brother's roommate. guy is a standoffish workaholic but started to slowly change after meeting mi-kun. Elder bro is just chill and kept o
intense oneshot. a normal bank employee's basic life turned upside down.
Rape to love, kidnapping, smut and stockholm syndrome ensued
AV actor x salaryman
A porn actor that does not believe in love. however, cupid bit him back and had a love at first sight encounter with a pretty-faced salaryman. good pacing. is fluffy yet has plenty amount of smut.
elite businessman x fashion coordinator
one fine example of a couple that is really opposite of each other in every way but managed to work out their huge difference (in a comedic fashion).
salaryman x salaryman, officemates
funny story about two competing salesmen. falling inlove with a rival in sales? really? too bad for seme. Bitchy queen uke
company president x salaryman / subordinate x superior
that romantic destined soul mate thing going on. very good oneshot. former classmates. #reencounter crush, #poor uke x #bocchama seme - now president of an upstart company.
#uncensored, #smutty.
ch. 6: salarymen story, settling down problems. arrange marriage vs gay lover. very nice slice of life art too.
ch.6: tall and handsome seme x stoic, older uke. kinda cute story of two guys that started with a necktie.
ch. 1-2: an actual gay man's sad story with a discriminating environment around him. thank god for the new boss.
his father fell sick, his brother threw away the inheritance so it's all left to him to take the helm of their company. now the young president struggles to be acknowledge by everyone, even this guy he's fated to work with. i like the uke's character growth.

Thank you for the lost. For some reason I always have a hard time finding boss/Employee manga.
So I read your number 2, going to read number 4 and 5 but I think I might have a bit more aggressive interests. I agree about the first couple totally!! Maybe she didn't like having the kid? I like Fujisaki Kou too because her couples are kinda like 2 Asamis almost haha. Especially with Daigo/Kaoru. I also like the drama of the corporate side vs. The slice of life kind. Still totally obsessed wth your lists though. Any of these cliche like that?
Its because I'm a sucker for kids haha. But I guess so. Most likely the chiharu couple were a hit that's why the series became about them and I don't blame her. We all love it! I like this, tho I think it's largely underappreciated http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/hada_made_aishite/
BTW do you know nitta's secret diplomacy? I did not include it here because it was sort of on hiatus but it was a corporate world tryst. Another favourite that's in hiatus is Ice Eagle, Fire Hawk
I think I like the unique way Fujisaki Kou's semes are all gentle beasts and the ukes are tough foxes. I love the way that pairs with the powerful kinda shady side of corporate business. I can see its more of a romantsu style for you. My romantsu is more like Koshino
I'm more on what's available, haha. TBH there's not that much business-driven type of BLs around so I just make do what I can so I collect salaryman stories of different type of coupling. And oh, those types of ukes that are I like are at 31 & 34 http://www.mangago.me/home/mangalist/22964/?filter=&page=4
Ooooo I'll read those next! If only to get a sense of your taste hehe will report back!
I love everything you do! You are like a Yaoi master and I love your perspective. I am such a big Fujisaki Kou fan. Her pairs are always strong and competent. Do you have any recommendations for similar salarymen stories?
me too, since Fujisaki Kou's is the first yaoi series that religiously followed thus, it influenced my taste in pairings.
Check number 2 in my list, also, yoneda's Soredemo, Yasashii (sequel of doushitemo). Read nos, 4 and 5 too for manly couple. (I have a thing for them)
Style-wise, "Yebisu Celebrities is a bit close as it is an earlier-made manga and it has multiple pairings
Thank you so much!! I will let you know what I think. Gotta ask....Daigo/Kaoru or Chiharu/Kazuki?
i'm more of a daigoxkaoru fan but my like for the chiharu pair is almost equally the same. I would have wanted more of the first pair tho, The original happy yarou couple. I think they had a lot of potential.
