My Girlfriend’s A Geek Novel Vol. 02
It was two years ago that I met Y-ko. She was my boss at the job I was working at the time. I was a student, and I had no idea what I was doing. After a time, we ended up becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. It turned out she was a “fujoshi.” Not only that, but a “hidden fujoshi,” one who didn’t show any inkling of the sort around other people. But as a general rule, she never hides it around me. In fact, it seems more like she’s intent on dragging me down that path with her. And I’ll be honest. It’s slowly but surely seeping into me.
