Plot
MC had to vacate his apartment, and he didn't have any savings ready for the next deposit. At the same time, one of his perfect female coworker happens to be tired after a office drinking party and MC helps by dropping her off at her apartment. She offers to share a room in her apartment with him, which he accepts.
He finds that while she is perfect at office, she has like zero energy left for anything else. She sleeps on the floor because buying furniture is too much effort. So, MC starts taking care of her at home while this relationship is kept secret ... at their workplace.

Review
There's not much to say. Its just the usual fantasy of a popular pretty girl being clumsy and our MC is the "special" guy who knows this side of her. Most of the chapters revolve around her being really careless (defenseless) around MC. And MC being the usual wimpy "nice guy" helps her out by unbuttoning her shirt or doing/sorting the laundry or cleaning/cooking, basically like taking care of a child.

The worst part is probably the super forced "drama". A good example is FMC's father visiting, finding a bruise on FMC's elbow, misunderstanding that MC is probably physically abusing FMC and asking MC to leave the home (**gasp**, what a tragedy). Then, the "bruise" turns out to be just an ink stain, and everyone apologizes to each other for the misunderstanding. All of this happens within like 10 pages of a single chapter. How do you even process that roller coaster of emotions so quickly? wtf!

Okay, then why read this manga?
I have no idea. Maybe because its a nice kink. Taking care of a hot girl who's too lazy to change clothes and asks you for help. That is just some pure fantasy wish fulfillment. You get some decent ecchi scenes too, because FMC is almost always careless when she's at home. Although, as with most adults in manga, the characters act like middle schoolers when it comes to ecchi or romance.

Why should you avoid this manga?
Its *very* repetitive. The author can't write a single proper chapter. Everything feels disconnected and vague. None of the characters feel real or memorable. Zero comedy. Although it may seem like slice of life, its not. There's no conflict (just ignore the forced drama) or depth in characters. The best you get is "you are so hardworking. wow!!!" from MC everytime FMC puts herself down as a lazy woman. what a simp.

6.9/10

Minor plot spoilers.

At this manga’s peak, it was an entertaining, wholesome read that would’ve landed itself upon the 7.6s. However, once the Mangaka attempted to add the bare minimum of drama and plot, the manga fell, and it fell hard. To put it simply, the plot is ridiculous convenient that it becomes baffling and predictable; however, there are some unpredictable moments solely due to the author suddenly adding unnecessary drama and characters without any buildup.

I wouldn’t come out and say that at the mangas peak, the characters were well-written and were full of depth, however, it wasn’t needed yet because of their chemistry and ... interactions. Although there were some unrealistic personality traits befitting of adults, the characters were technically sound with their likable personality. Yet, the immediate moment the author tried to add depth and development, he made the characters act cliche and idiotic, ruining the former image of their once enjoyable personality.

The plot is simply baffling; plotless wholesome mangas are the bane of my existence, however, the initial chapters didn’t instill my hatred just yet. Though, with due time, the author sends curveballs out of literally nowhere to add plot points to force development, however, our beloved author also ruined any natural transition and the actual story — not like there was much. In the later chapters, it seems the author wanted to incorporate drama due to the impression of every great romance manga having some sort of drama or conflict, yet it was so sudden and inconsistent with the story’s actual plot line that the author scrapped it and made a bs resolution in the most cliche manner; on a side note, everything in the manga has some sort of cliche development and resolution.

This manga is another example of a Mangaka ruining a somewhat decent story in a few chapters, throwing the course of the manga off its track while trying to act like nothing happened.
