My recent string of thoughts in order:

Holy shit - she's beautiful! What is this? [Do a search]. Eh? Erotica tag? That's actually sort of disappointing. Wait a minute... Mori Taishi.... why do I know that name? [Do a search] Ah! Radiation House! And Kyou no Asuka Show!!

So I know what I'm reading next.

Would 1000 per cent recommend this one!

Just finished it and you were right.

I actually cheered out loud when they kissed.

I'm actually up to chapter 27 already, and loving it.😄

I've always had a soft spot for Kyou no Asuka Show just because it somehow manages to be both ecchi and wholesome. There's this surface layer of ecchi, but underneath that, it's actually sweet and charming and inspiring and funny and even philosophical. That's a rare and impressive balancing act.

And this is shaping up to be an even better and more subtle version of the same sort of balancing act, and an adorable rom-com to boot.

I have no doubt that I'll end up reading straight through it.

I haven't yet read Kyou no Asuka Show, so that's going onto my PTR list.

Okay - I just finished this – 83 chapters basically straight through – and it's wonderful. I can't recommend it enough.

Don't let the erotica tag throw you - it's sort of a fake-out. There's a gimmick behind it. The mains both work for a company that manufactures condoms, and the FMC specifically works in product development and testing. So she necessarily spends a certain amount of time putting condoms on (fake) penises, intently studying (fake) penises, stroking (fake) penises, etc. It's actually all entirely innocent and just a part of her work, but it also can't help but be erotic - a fact that's not lost on the extremely kindhearted and considerate and awkward MMC.

That aside, it's just a very satisfying rom-com between two shy, awkward and earnest people. And I loved it.
