Sweat and Soap. Volume 1
by Kintetsu Yamada
In an office romance, there's a fine line between sexy and awkward... and that line is where Asako meets Koutarou.
Asako's living her dream, working at the toiletry company Lilia Drop. Little do her coworkers know, she loves the company so much because she's ashamed of her sweating problem and their soap is the only thing that does the trick. So when the company's lead product developer, a perfuming genius, approaches her in the lobby and wonders what 'that smell' is, she's terrified. Then, when he claims her scent helped him push past a creative block, she's embarrassed - but also strangely flattered.
As their chance connection quickly blossoms into romance, Asako and Koutarou not only grow closer to each other, but find themselves growing as people. Asako begins to open up to her coworkers as she gains confidence in herself, and Koutarou pushes himself to prioritize parts of his life outside of work.
