Yu Masuda's New Romance Manga: A Unique Love Story at the Office
There is some really interesting news for manga fans today. Yu Masuda's latest work, titled "I'm a mourning office lady, but for some reason I'm surrounded by ideal muscles," has finally started its advance distribution. Starting from today, April 1st, readers can find this series on the popular digital platform Comic Seymour. It is quite a unique title, and the premise is definitely going to grab the attention of those who love a bit of spicy office romance mixed with some very specific character tropes.

The Secret Life of Nakagawa: Cool Exterior, Steamy Interior
The story focuses on a protagonist named Nakagawa. To everyone at her workplace, she is seen as a veteran office worker who carries herself with a very cool and formal image. She is the kind of professional who doesn't seem to have a single hair out of place. However, as it often happens in such stories, she is hiding a very big secret. Behind that serious face, Nakagawa is actually a "mourning" office lady—basically someone who hasn't had much luck in her love life—and she has a massive hidden fetish for strong muscles.
Whenever she looks at men with well-built bodies, she cannot help but think about rather erotic things. It is quite funny because her coworkers have no idea what is going on in her head. She spends her days trying to maintain her professional decorum while secretly admiring the physical forms of the men around her. For fans of the genre, yearning office lady finds love among ideal muscles is a perfect description of the internal struggle she faces every day in the cubicle.
Mitsuru: The Macho Programmer with a Sweet Mask
The object of her affection is Mitsuru, a very talented programmer who is incredibly popular within the company. Mitsuru is the perfect package; he has what Nakagawa considers to be the absolute ideal muscles, but he also possesses a "sweet mask"—meaning he has a very handsome and kind face that contrasts with his macho physique. Nakagawa often finds herself looking at him with "vulgar eyes," even though she tries her level best to hide her desires.
The plot really kicks into gear when a sudden accident happens at the office. Because of this mishap, Mitsuru actually finds out about Nakagawa’s muscle fetish. You can just imagine how embarrassing that must be for a lady who has kept up a cool image for so many years! This revelation sets the stage for a very interesting dynamic between a plump office lady with zero love experience and a macho man who might be more than he seems.

Why You Should Check Out This Series
If you are looking for a story that combines comedy, office drama, and a bit of physical appreciation, then this manga is definitely for you.
