> Read the first chapter of shoujo just because I liked the title >Now I'm invested in it like a middle-aged Mexican woman watching soap-operas Anyone knows this feeling?
And anyone else read this manga about loving the smell of your waifu who was always bullied due to her perspiration problems?
>A manga about a soap maker who finds a co-worker with a scent he can’t get enough of.
>Yup, this is problematic.
>On the surface this is a romance series that leads to a relationship between a man and a woman but I really take issue with how everything starts. The soap maker smells the woman and literally drags her to a wall where he starts sniffing her. He apologizes and explains that her scent is the key to his new product and she reluctantly agrees to him using her as “inspiration”.
The poor woman is already self conscious about being overly sweaty all the time and now she has a man invading her personal space. When she implies that their smelling time is over because he finished his new project, the man ends up putting his hand up her skirt because he wants to keep smelling her. Though he does realize what a horrible thing he did after she shoves him off and runs away, I thought is was REALLY convenient that he ends up saving her from a creeper smelling her on a train later. It’s hard not to roll your eyes as she tells him he’s nothing like the train pervert and she actually wants him to smell her more.
>Eventually they start dating and seem to genuinely love each other but this romance is justifying that a man’s aggressive approach is just what a woman wants. And that is a bad message to sell, even if the rest of your story is about them being in love.

IF you apply logic to manga you gonna have a bad time...
Michael Wright
I love the scent of a woman.
Austin Nguyen
Wasn't this the manga where the guys co-worker gets a crush on him, confesses even while knowing that he has a girlfriend, and gets mad at him for it because 'he was too nice to her'?
Jace Garcia
can't wait for chapter 31. this one is just really endearing to read. pure fluff, no conflict. And I feel sorry for Ichise
Nolan Edwards
>man’s aggressive approach is just what a woman wants It is in Japan where men are too pathetic to make a move.
Kayden Ramirez
2020, men aren't allowed be confident/forward in their advances anymore, especially not in a fluff manga thats purely meant to be a wholesome and simplistic romance series without much real drama or serious themes.
Zachary Jones
My personal favorite manga right now. It's great to see a romance where the drama comes from two partners talking about their insecurities instead of avoiding them for thirty chapters of wacky misunderstandings. I decided to buy the books in the hope that +1 to sales is going to keep this series around for a while longer.

>two volume jump between translations Who thought this was a good idea?
Lincoln Hall
Did you pick it up after seeing it suggested in another romcom thread or the robo waifu thread? I've been shilling it mercilessly and am glad to see it as the OP. Nope. My only comfort is knowing that this is a satirical post.
Isaac Nguyen
>romance = shoujo Okay
Lucas Butler
The official english release is out though I have only been able to find ch 11 - 17 of it scanned. I also found ch 18 and 19 with a really shitty speed translation.
I can appreciate that she didn't stew over it for too long or act petty and jealous. Just a quick rejection and a quick reconciliation.
Eli Thompson
>Tomboy btfo'd Buying the manga to support this based mangaka.
Wyatt Gomez
Yes, she definetly handled it incredibly well. I still feel bad for the small tomboy energy ball. Normally not a fan of branching out sidestories but I hope she can find her match later on, she deserves it for sure.

Lucas Flores
These fuckers fuck like rabbits
Jayden Turner
Yeah I've been following it for a while it's a great manga. The character writing is great and Natori the smell man is a cool lad. Bad satire, but being assertive and knowing when to stop isn't that bad.
William Bailey
In terms of side characters my favorite was the sales guy, his story about how he crashed his relationship due to clinging to his success notions was insightful.
Thomas Stewart
>TFW you thought it was going to go stale when the smelling gag plays out but they keep it fresh with constant character progression and the sniffing scenes get even more tender and intimate because of it.
This series is incredibly boring, there is zero drama and they talk everything out at the slightest inconvenience. >inb4 muh comfy There is nothing interesting about it, literally just a guy and a girl banging and hanging out. MIght as well watch my parents hang out with each other. Successfull relationships don't make interesting stories
John Ward
Interesting insight into the deranged brain of an NTRcuck/forced drama faggot.
Carter Scott
Wanted to like this but the smell stuff grosses me out too much. Same thing happened with Nazo no Kanojo, it could have been the sweetest romance ever but the drool eating made me nope the fuck out.
Nolan Wood
>the smell stuff grosses me out too much Have you ever smelled a woman mate? What's wrong with you.
Noah Mitchell
>MIght as well watch my parents hang out with each other Can I also watch how they fuck each other?

Woman sweat smells like onions

Jeremiah Edwards
Go back to reading Kanojo Okarishimasu
Benjamin Collins
The smell changes drastically depending on the diet of the person sweating. Perhaps you just haven't found the sweat for your particular tastes.
Liam Hernandez
You guys either never ever had a girlfriend, or I'm a smellfag myself. I refuse to believe the latter so fuck you virgins.
