Doushiyoumonai keredo by Natsume Isaku

I adore Doushiyoumonai keredo volumes 1 and 2 by Natsume Isaku. It's about a salaryman and his boss and their romance. It's cute and silly and fun. I love that though the two aren't perfect, neither are they irritating. Shimano, the salaryman, isn't just any salaryman. He's the son of the company president who will someday succeed his father. He's good-looking, smart, good at everything. His boss Kurokawa doesn't treat him particularly well, but Shimano comes to appreciate Kurokawa's gruff kindness. Yeah, it's been there, done that. But it does conventional so well. And they make such a cute couple. It also helps that I really like this artist's style.






Love the little touches like the panel where Kurokawa touches his lips to Shimano's neck. And how the encounter ends with Kurokawa insulting Shimano ("Fast, weren't you?"). This was a random sexual encounter pre-romance.






Shimano frazzled when he realizes that he may not have to give up on his feelings for Kurokawa...And worries that this might be the first time in his life he's going to be desperate...




I love love love this spread. I don't have the image editing skills to patch the thing together, but I think you can get the idea. I love how Shimano's hand in the foreground is so large, and the way it's limply holding the cigarette...

I'm sure it was a color pic when it ran in the magazine. What I'd give to get a color version of this...






Kurokawa bitches about the sensual "pink aura" about Shimano lately but ends up being smacked over by a "pink aura" moment...And drags the clueless Shimano home for sex...




The two are apart! Shimano waits for a call from Kurokawa! But doesn't call from his end!




Licking is good.




Hot smex.




Obligatory onsen sex. With yukata falling off the shoulders, of course. XD




Omake bit at the end. Kurokawa comes home tired to a sleeping Shimano (he looks so innocent and sweet!). He "refreshes" himself at Shimno's expense (Shimano wakes up thinking he's drowning).

The other omake are cute as well, but this was the best one.
