is one of the best romance mangas I've ever read, SO CUTE.
So Asako starts off questioning Natori's assistant, It's super cute how jealous she is, She's not mean about it but just always wondering if she's good enough, And I think this is something people can all relate too, especially at the start of a relationship, Then we get into Asako's family and Natori going with her on a dinner date to meet her brother,
This is a really charming series, with such a great look into a working relationship with bumps along the way that most people go through.
The dialogue is strong, the art is excellent, it has sexy moments but doesn't rely on them, and the ending is building towards more fun storylines.
Charming, sweet, cute, sexy, all in one package, Sweat and Soap is a manga you need to read, :゚/
They are the cutest and sweetest manga couple Ahhhh, these two make my heart so happy its ridiculous!!!! I adore the way their relationship is progressing.
All the scenes with Asakos family, especially her Mom, omg theyre adorable, I also love her brother Keita and I love how hes so protective of his sister, hes so adorable and also kind of hot Like, can we get a spinoff series about her brother, please and thank you!
I cant wait to read the rest of this series, it makes me so giddy and happy I started this volume last year, but for some reason I never picked it back up.
I don't want to say much about this volume but just know that it's the cutest thing ever and that I can't wait to see how their relationship is going to progress in the future.
Gracias a Keita descubrí que soy una sucker for the over protective brother trope

Why is this so funny in the wildest ways Read via library, Only the mildest of conflicts and obstacles this time around, The secret relationship is revealed to a select few, but most of the time is spent with the sweet couple being all loveydovey and a little lusty.
It's very quiet, but it makes me happy, SO CUTE
I love the way their relationship is progressing This manga is the most fun thing I've read in a while.
It's hilarious and weird but it's also so cute, RTC Keita do be having my attention I made a choice and I am going to read this entire series lol if my library has it because even if its slowish and cute romance im enjoying these two!!
I'm wondering what else shall happen and if someone shall cause drama between the couple.

Heat level I am madly in love with this series! I love that this truly feels like an adult relationship.
Problems come up, and they are discussed between the couple, How to talk to the families is another topic in this volume, and it's great! Please read this series! More people really need to! I really love how realistic Asako and Natoris relationship is.
It isnt overly sexual but has a lot of sweet and tender moments, as well as the pair dealing with real issues that would come up in nearly anyone and everyones relationship.
I also really enjoyed seeing them interact with other characters like Asakos family and their coworkers, Speaking of coworkers, Im not entirely sure how I feel about Ichisesan Natoris kohai, while Asakos Chief is starting to grow on me.
I feel like Ichise can be a potential problem in future manga volumes, although I hope she doesnt because I want to like her as a character and learn more about her.
Asako finds herself having to talk to Natori's assistant, Korisu Ichise, who she's worried might have a crush on Natori, Then Natori and Asako go on a company trip, where hiding their relationship becomes a little more difficult than expected, After that, Asako visits her family and ends up inviting Natori to the restaurant her brother Keita works at, Natori is aware of how close Asako is to Keita and wants to make a good impression, Meanwhile, Keita is convinced that Natori must secretly be a sleazebag who's playing his sister,
I still really like Yamada's art style, and Asako and Natori are a cute couple whose romance I'm enjoying, even if aspects of it are a bit weird.
Still, this volume wasn't quite as good as the first one,
In the first volume, Asako's body odor insecurities were extremely intense, She'd use her work breaks to reapply deodorant and would stay quiet and still in order to avoid sweating, The fact that Natori liked the way she smelled and actually enjoyed it if she sweated a bit was embarrassing and surprising to her.
In this volume, it felt like the author scaled Asako's body odor insecurities way back, more than really made sense.
Yes, Asako's selfesteem was gradually improving, but Asako had been dealing with these issues since childhood, She'd only been dating Natori for a couple months it was hard to believe that she'd be able to go on a company trip without her body odor worries being much of an issue.
I had thought she'd fret over the toiletries she needed to bring, whether anyone would notice all the stuff she'd packed, whether she'd be able to find time to reapply deodorant, etc.
, but from the sounds of things she might not have even brought any of her soaps and things from home there was a part where Natori noted that she smelled like a soap that wasn't one of the ones he'd created.
I'm also not sure I liked the way Asako's jealousy over Korisu was handled, After their talk about the missed text message at the end of the first volume, I expected better from these characters than On the plus side, at least it was his own decision and not something Asako asked him to do,
The second half of the volume, featuring Asako's family, was great, I loved how close they all were, and I'm really looking forward to Natori eventually getting to meet the whole family, This time around, Natori just got to meet Asako's brother, who'd been protective of her since back when they were kids and she was being bullied.
Dinner at the Italian restaurant Keita works at turned into a mini battle as Natori tried to make a good impression while Keita turned everything from their introduction to the menu into a test of Natori's character.
Asako, meanwhile, was completely oblivious and thought they were getting along just fine,
I definitely plan to continue this series, even though this particular volume wasn't quite as enjoyable for me as the first one.
Asako
and Natori have been a pretty sweet and supportive couple so far, and it's nice to read a romance manga starring adults, relatively lowdrama ones at that.

Original review posted on sitelinkA Library Girl's Familiar Diversions.
Augh, it just gets better and better! I love how Asako and Natori's relationship progresses, Man, this is what you call a healthy relationship! I feel jealous because I see it as an idealistic example of one.
Yes, jealousy is human nature, but I love how understanding Asako is despite feeling it, She does not hold grudge or get angry, you know that typical exhausting toxic relationship It's not there, which is refreshing, I also love that despite being a clueless guy Natori is of women's feelings, I love that he considers Asako's feelings and fix the conflict as immediately whenever he "smells" something wrong.
Every woman would be tripping while trying to get him, I also want a guy like him, lol! And the all rendezvous!! Swoon!! Asako y Kotaro deciden mantener su relación en secreto, sin embargo parece que hay gente que sospecha y tendrán que enfrentar un viaje de la compañía que podría revelar su relación.
Asako le cuenta a algunos familiares sobre su relación, y uno de ellos no parece muy contento con esta situación I love how cute this manga is.
Watching the two main characters fight their own personal insecurities and juggle their relationship was adorable, If you like Wotakoi or Fruits Basket, I would recommend this series to you, CUTEST COUPLE EVER akjfhska
Lots of caretaking of the hero by the heroine in this volume,
Also, the heroine's brother is hot af I was legit laughing out loud with this volume, How have these characters managed to weasel their way into my heart this quickly! Keita is a doll baby and I love how he treated his sister.
They are adorable, and I like how they interact, I enjoy the sense of family I have experienced in Asako Chan's home,
I think I'm getting used to the bizarre nature of this ongoing story, I didn't find it quite as bizarre,
I think I'll be reading more,

Absolutely adorable in fact, I think I liked this one even better than Volume! I love that we got to meet Asako's family.
Her younger brother Keita was immediately so lovable for me, as I'm a total sucker for those stoic, overly protective sibling characters, and I loved her parents and lil' Marosuke.
I'm obsessed with how sweet and communicative Asako and Koutaro are! I love that they're open to each other about their insecurities and fears, even though the relationship is still so new.
I have Volumeon hold from the library, but I'm tempted to go ahead and put the next few volumes on hold at the same time so I can just binge read!

/Im loving this series! The relationship between these two feels so pure and Im excited to watch it grow, I love the concept of us being introduced to various sides of the characters as the story progresses, Especially the jealousy.
The artwork isnt my favourite style, but its still fun! Ive already ordered the next few available volumesheres hoping it gets better and better!
Happy reading!.
