This was a surprisingly good manga. It really caught me off guard. It's honestly expected for it to not be a super great experience when the manga is only 3 chapters. You can't expect a whole lot of development within three short chapters. However, this manga was really successful.
{Spoilers, but it's only 3 chapters so}
It follows this office woman who's realized that she's no longer in her prime. She asks to be temporarily moved to another department in her company to become more competent at her job (which is super admirable wow) and she's being trained by this very straight-laced man. He teaches her the ropes, but also allows her to grow on her own in terms of how she thinks the job should be done. A really good and nurturing teacher, you know? And it's a strictly professional relationship. Until it isn't. And I think it's just really sweet how they naturally fall in love after working together and seeing each other's strong points. It's not like in shoujo where they fall in love at first sight. I think it's more realistic to desire for this kind of love where you fall in love with their personality and their admirable points rather than their visual. But maybe this is just some musings from an old lady, who really knows?
And the ending where she's uncertain if he likes her and then he hands her a report of all different aspects about himself so that she can get to know more about him. It was dorky, but also really sweet.
I'd recommend you read it. It's super short, the story is compelling, and it displays a more quiet romance that we don't often see. It's definitely kira-kira at some points, but I think overall it's worth checking out because of the plot line and execution.
