About this book

From the creator of Sweat and Soap comes a standalone rom-com manga about two neighbors who find unexpected love during lockdown and learn that working from home doesn't mean an office romance can't still blossom. Story complete in one volume! Nokoru has been working brutal overtime at a demanding job when the pandemic lockdown finally gives him the chance to telework from home.

This new situation (and the time he saves on his commute) lets him rediscover old passions and new hobbies. The lush garden he creates on his apartment balcony provides a chance to get to know his cute neighbor, Natsu, a graduate student in archeology.

It feels like a tall tale to find an office romance at home, but these are strange times...
