Read the full take

An ordinary office worker blends in seamlessly with her colleagues, until a coworker discovers her secret: in her spare time she draws and sells girls' love comics. The premise is a gentle workplace romance with a creative twist.The strongest element is the quiet closeness. The two women grow nearer through small, believable moments, and the office setting gives the story a grounded feel. The creative life behind the secret adds texture, and the hidden identities give the story a thoughtful layer.The weakness is length. At 26 chapters across three volumes, the romance can feel rushed, and some turns come quickly. Readers who want a slower burn may find the arc short.If you enjoy gentle yuri with a grounded setting, it is a sincere pick. It is short, warm and honest. Expect ordinary office life, small revelations and a story that treats a secret with care.
