Synopsis

From an outside perspective, the relationship between Saori Fujimura and her boss Ayako Asano is purely professional. However, digging beneath the surface shows that strictly platonic rapport could not be further from the truth. After assisting her with work that she has been struggling to finish, Ayako invites Saori out for drinks at a bar. However, Saori drinks too much and lets slip the famous phrase—"I love you." This leads to the two sharing a passionate night together, despite the fact that Ayako must return to her husband in the morning.

As both women grapple with the unsatisfactory nature of their current lives, they begin to explore the meaning of their own happiness and the strength it takes to grasp it.

But to be honest I was quite surprised and I really enjoyed reading this. I think it did a great job with the concept and exploring the pressures and expectations of a woman in these circumstances. It made me root all the way for the couple, and their romance was really good and enjoyable to see. What I really loved was the two leads and how ...

tl;dr
It's your typical office yuri type of story. It doesn't mean it's bad, it's just average.

The characters are Sayako Fujimura, 26yo and her boss Ayako Asano 33yo. (They work in some marketing job I guess, it's not really important, the office is just a setting and that's fine.)

Sayako Fujimura is head over heels for her boss from the start, and that's really what her character is. I really liked when she mentioned that she likes watching some dramas because her character was literally nothing without Ayako in the picture.

Ayako Asano however has one particular trait - she's career woman and is highly focused ...
