Turns Out My Online Friend is My Real-Life Boss! Vol. 02
A nerdy workplace BL dramedy manga perfect for fans of Cherry Magic!, from the creator of The Yearning Fox Lies in Wait.
Online, they’re partners who have each other’s back. Offline, they’re boss and subordinate…and now lovers!
It’s been three months since the absolutely ordinary and plain office worker, Hashimoto, started going out with his boss, Shirase, and they’re reaching their first-month anniversary of moving in together. After the miracle discovery that “his online friend turned out to be his real-life boss,” Hashimoto and Shirase had quite the tumultuous start.
But after a bunch of misunderstandings, the two are finally together…yet, their days are far from romantic when all they do are play video games and eat together! Getting worried, Hashimoto decides to try leveling up their relationship! But what do you do when your boyfriend’s successful, older, and super hot…?!
Biographical Notes:
Nmura is best known for being the author & artist of Kinpatsu Obotchama to Nihonjin Shitsuji, BL First Crush Anthology: Five Seconds Before We Fall in Love, Kigurumi-kun, Machigitsune to Hito no Ko, and Turns Out My Online Friend is My Real-Life Boss!.
Title Notes:
The twist spoiled in the description isn’t the only one! There’s a long, convoluted jaunt ahead for two adorable opposites who have to reconcile a work relationship and a friendship on the way to romance.
Nerdy pursuits+workplace omance is the combination that electrified readers of Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku, and this has common DNA with non-BL romances like Sweat and Soap, too.
This series is from the same creator as The Yearning Fox Lies in Wait, another BL oneshot, and ran in the same magazine in Japan as Nagisa Furuya’s works, including My Summer of You.
