Synopsis

Minegishi is a handsome, friendly salaryman rising through the ranks at work. He does have one insatiable desire at the office: he loves to feed his grumpy co-worker, Ootsu. Ootsu might be taking the food, but he's not taking the bait—he thinks Minegishi's coolness is a challenge, and refuses to be charmed like everyone else in the office! But the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and Minegishi's attention might be reflecting a hunger for something more. Can he break through Ootsu's hard shell?

An adorable, light-hearted BL about two men who work in an office with completely different statures on the office latter.

Minegishi is your typical hard-working, wonderfully built and charismatic guy in the office. He attracts everyone with his smile, approachable speech and of course easy to please face. On the other hand, we have the wonderful Otsu thats almost the completed opposite of him. He's popular for how hard he works, but because of his large appearance people generally treat him in a harsher way then the pretty boys. Although he's a sweet guy, he doesn't show his true thoughts and emotions which can make him ...

Preliminary (36/41 eps)

Okay so this manga has taken over my life for the last few days.

First of all, probably should address the elephant in the room: like the other person who left a review on this, while I understand the concerns, I'm a firm believer that the focus is more 'Otsu looks happy when he eats, and that's why Minegishi takes every opportunity to give him food' and yeah, I know how that comes off but I genuinely don't believe this is a fat fetish piece or feederism, even if the line gets blurred at points. Minegishi comes off as very stupid and naive to me and ... I feel like that's the point. Maybe I'm being biased because I have NEVER seen myself in a character like I see myself in Otsu, but yeah. However you're completely valid if you were put off and I'm not going to act like you're not. I wish there were more fat protagonists where food wasn't the focus, I hope we get more of those.

To add to that, there's a lot of stuff in here where other folk might not be comfy with it but it appeals to me because I personally find it cute, such as the penguin comparisons (I give myself animal nicknames all the time) so I'm not going to judge anyone if they're weirded out by this approach or they don't like it.

That said, GOD this made my heart jump.

What I love about this manga and I haven't shut up about in the last few days is that Otsu's story deals with the issue of how fatphobia and standards in general effect our outlook on ourselves and moreover our outlook on how other people treat us, and Minegishi's naivety makes this even more prominent. Some parts of this hurt to read because Otsu's view on himself was familiar to me: 'I have my role and I just have to tolerate how they treat me' and without spoiling anything, GOD one of the things Otsu is almost forced to do and the way they try to pressure him into it makes me so upset. Minegishi's naivety mixed with Otsu's cynicism hurts because one part of my brain is like 'Otsu he's trying to be nice' and the other is like 'God, I remember how I used to think like that.' Otsu has built up these walls and they're not gonna come down easy because he's dealt with years of this treatment. He's not used to someone being genuinely nice to him, and Minegishi is so awkward about everything that I think it makes it worse for him to be able to read him. The idea of someone actually liking him for who he is is INSANE to him because he's just the fat guy. He's become accustomed to that. And like Minegishi says, it shouldn't be that way, and he should be able to be happy as he is, but the world isn't kind.

I've always loved Hurt/Comfort pieces that directly center on a character's self esteem because I've been treated like shit in life, and reading someone not only fall in love with someone, but fall in love with themselves and understand that the way they've been treated isn't okay fills my heart with hope. I want to see more of this manga. I want to see Otsu feel at peace with himself as someone who used to be him.

This is a review of the first two volumes.

I discovered this series via facebook post of one of the chapters. It seemed like a light read and was very cute. A lot of comments were worried about it turning into a glorified eating fetish. I can safely say, it was not the impression I had after reading the available volumes printed.

The character interactions between the two main men feels wholesome, if not a little tropey. On one hand you have a suave and sexy manager, and your grumpy self loathing worker. The worker sees themselves as undesirable both romantically, and socially. They are very much ...
