Dougan na Joushi wa suki desu ka?

Maki may look young enough to be mistaken for a university student, but beneath that cherubic face lies a boss who commands respect through sharp instincts and unwavering dependability. His team trusts him implicitly—yet no one suspects that his calm, collected demeanor masks a growing distraction: Ayame, the newest hire, whose poised, mature appearance suggests far more experience than her fresh graduate status actually grants. She is earnest, eager, and still fumbling through the unspoken rules of office life, often relying on Maki's quiet guidance to steer her clear of professional pitfalls. What Ayame doesn't expect is how often that guidance leaves her flustered—because every sincere piece of advice, every patient explanation, is delivered with a disarming smile that completely contradicts his authoritative role. She finds herself blushing at his simplest gestures, caught between professional admiration and an inconvenient attraction she can't quite explain. Meanwhile, Maki discovers that Ayame's maturity is only skin-deep; her vulnerability and determination stir something in him that goes beyond mentorship. As they navigate deadlines, late-night paperwork, and casual coffee breaks that feel anything but casual, the line between superior and subordinate blurs into something far more complicated. With his boyish charm and her outwardly composed poise, they are an odd pair—opposites in every visible way, yet drawn together by an awkward, undeniable chemistry that threatens to upend the quiet order of their workplace. Can a baby-faced boss and a fresh-faced rookie find common ground when their hearts are pulling them in opposite directions from their careers?
