A fun and flirty rom-com manga that you can read on and off hours. Featuring one of the artists of I'm Fine With Being the Second Girlfriend, also available from Seven Seas.

As Nagisa’s flirting and constant invitations keep catching him off guard, Masato finds himself more and more irritated by his troublesome junior coworker. But with every exchange, he starts to wonder if there might be another reason she gets under his skin.
