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.
