Ladies on Top Vol. 02. A sexy josei romance manga about a quiet woman and “perfect” man shedding gender stereotypes and embracing their sensual selves!
TOXIC LOVE
Mitsuki, a cute and charming office lady, likes to be in control, while Shinomiya, the sweet and elite businessman, wants to be dominated. Although both have shied away from their own desires, (in Shinomiya’s case, due to a traumatizing ex) they eventually found each other and began dating. Together, they’re searching for their own version of “good sex.” But just as their relationship is deepening, Shinomiya’s ex, Saki, suddenly reappears. Can Shinomiya overcome this terrifying ordeal and claim the sex life he truly desires?
Series Overview: Mizuki looks like an ordinary office lady—cute, quiet, and looking for Mr. Right—but while she yearns for love, traditional romances where men take the lead just leave her cold. Then, at the age of 24, Mizuki discovers Shinomiya, a seemingly perfect co-worker who likes aggressive women, and she experiences a fiery awakening. Together, Mizuki and Shinomiya learn that reversing traditional gender roles can be both liberating and exciting!
