Summary
In an office romance， there’s a fine line between sexy and awkward… and that line is where Asako — a woman who sweats copiusly — met Koutarou — a perfume developer who can’t get enough of Asako’s， er， scent。 Don’t miss a romcom manga like no other！
Asako’s living her dream， working at the toiletry maker Lilia Drop。 Little do her coworkers know， the reason she loves the company so much is that she’s ashamed of her body odor， and their soap is the only thing that does the trick。 So when the company’s lead product developer， a perfuming genius， approaches her in the lobby and wonders what “that smell” is， she’s terrified… but could it be… that he likes it？ And， even more surprising to Asako… does she like him？
The hilarious ups and downs of an office romance at a personal care products company are the subject of this sexy， strange romp。 Sweat and Soap combines the odd-couple chemistry of Wotakoi， the “too real！” workplace comedy of Aggretsuko， and a heavy dollop of office steaminess！

I enjoyed this one a lot， watching them come together in their relationship and finally start settling into the daily routine of it， while still having a sense of individuality and their own struggles has given me life。

I got this a few days before it was supposed to be released （it was on the shelves early so it was meant to be）。 And then immediately read it。 I love Kotaro and Asako so much！ I really liked this installment。 These two continue to be such precious beans。

i love how the relationship keeps growing naturally and we see both of them realize things that they use to do before and are now changing and of course the “visualization” 😏 it was a really fun way of showing those first steps toward a more committed relationship。 i love this manga TT

Life’s a beach， or it is this time around anyway。 Once their anniversary is out of the way， the company retreat brings Asako and Kotaro together under the gaze of their coworkers。 And as things move forward， the old parental urge is starting to bubble up。Ah， reading a volume of this book is just the nicest feeling and we dial back on the drama for some good old fun， both sexy and not as much。 It intermingles with some excellent growth and makes for a （mostly） great read。 It can’t be overemphasiz Life’s a beach， or it is this time around anyway。 Once their anniversary is out of the way， the company retreat brings Asako and Kotaro together under the gaze of their coworkers。 And as things move forward， the old parental urge is starting to bubble up。Ah， reading a volume of this book is just the nicest feeling and we dial back on the drama for some good old fun， both sexy and not as much。 It intermingles with some excellent growth and makes for a （mostly） great read。 It can’t be overemphasized how consistently good this manga has been。Asako is the star here， unquestionably， as she really shows how far she’s come with her confidence and the ways in which she has benefited from Kotaro’s support。 She shoots down somebody hitting on her by herself this time out and it’s a real moment for her。First she has to make it through a mountain she makes out of a molehill， of course， but naturally it is a way smaller deal to Kotaro and leads to a very cute and natural moment later - these two are perfectly believable as a couple and it’s part of this series’ strength。And the sex comes back！ Repeatedly！ After a couple dryer volumes we get a reminder of how thirsty our leads are for each other。 I have always appreciated the way Sweat & Soap mixes acceptance， light fetishism， and mutual respect into its steamier bits and that hasn’t changed here。Before the beach， however， which brings back a ton of fun side characters （and also proves my guiding manga maxim that every mangaka can devise a way to put a book’s cast in swimsuits at any time in any genre if they choose）， we have to deal with an ‘oh no I have gained weight’ storyline。I have complicated feelings about this as somebody who thinks people need to be happy in their bodies and is also a long-distance runner， but also doesn’t like undue pressure people put on themselves to conform to an ideal。Still， I think the story handles it very well - Asako does her research， doesn’t just cut food out， lets Kotaro know what she’s doing so she doesn’t drive him nuts， and enlists his support， which he is all too willing to give。 The running section in particular gives another look at how Asako has changed and it’s a real earned moment。Honestly I am way more critical of the last sections where they start lightly daydreaming about what a family might look like。 I have a lot of complicated thoughts on this， but let me just say that I don’t love going in on the ‘having kids is the traditional endpoint for a relationship’。 This is definitely neither the first nor last book to do this， but it certainly rankled me a bit because everything else it does is so， so well done。4。5 stars - not quite as intense as previous volumes and for as much as I love how strong Asako is getting， there are a couple of parts here that don’t fully work for me。 Adjust rating based on your own tastes， but， yes， these two are still the best manga couple ever。 。。。more

This is by far the best romance manga currently being released。 It deals with real people in a real relationship。 They talk things out， express themselves， and grow and mature over time。 Absolutely none of the tropes that plague many romance manga are present in this story。 It is a breath of fresh air and one of the best reads in manga right now。

I’d die for these two😭💖💖💖

not to make an educated guess， but pretty sure you can stamp this as the point where yamada went ‘yeah， i have to make a doujin of my own stuff’ and that’s how we got the r-18 baby making book。 anyway as always， 🥺

Another stellar volume。。。we finally get a beach day， which is so fun！ In one of the earlier volumes the mangaka was saying how he really wanted to draw one of these， but it's much more difficult to fit it in a story of working adults。 I love that we got it in a second company trip， since it's been a whole year since they first started dating。 Kotaro and Asako continue to navigate their relationship in sometimes awkward， but always extremely wholesome and healthy ways。 Plus， we definitely see dev Another stellar volume。。。we finally get a beach day， which is so fun！ In one of the earlier volumes the mangaka was saying how he really wanted to draw one of these， but it's much more difficult to fit it in a story of working adults。 I love that we got it in a second company trip， since it's been a whole year since they first started dating。 Kotaro and Asako continue to navigate their relationship in sometimes awkward， but always extremely wholesome and healthy ways。 Plus， we definitely see development towards next steps， especially near the end as they begin to picture the future。。。。 （*¯ ³¯*）♡ 。。。more
