Thank you to NetGalley, tsuke, and the publisher for this advanced copy!

"Spoil Me Plzzz, Hinamori-san!" is a GL manga about two high school girls, Hinamori and Suo. The former once confessed her feelings to the latter, but was promptly rejected due to her not being serious and studious like Suo is. After working hard to change herself, Hinamori finds out that Suo is not what she seems!

I loved the art style in this one. Even though the plot is overdone and very predictable, there is still enjoyment to be had here and I would be more than happy to read the next volume!

Never thought I could enjoy anything Covid-related, but Yamada-san proved me wrong.
It was a heartwarming story of human connection (and also an ode to remote work!) that I devoured in one sitting.
I recommend this manga to anyone who likes realistic slow-burn love that goes beyond the romantic / sexual aspects and is, at its core, a caring relationship between two people who enrich each other's lives.

Home Office Romance is a cute one-volume manga romance about a pair of neighbours who are working from home when they meet on their adjoining balcony, and begin to get to know each other. Told from our male protagonist's point of view, we know from the very start that this will be a very light read as it lays out the lack of stakes from the start, but this works completely for me here - the story instead becomes about piecing together these personalities as they start to develop. I do wonder if I would have enjoyed this even more in split POV, as the development does mostly come from one side here owing to the narration, but nevertheless I really enjoyed breezing through this. 4.5 stars.
