About the Manga
Tokyopop has licensed the manga, planning to release the fourth volume on November 18. Here's a brief about the story:
Sakura Yuino is a dedicated office worker transferred to work under Tatsuki Kiritani, a handsome and gentlemanly supervisor. Beneath their polished exteriors, both hide personal issues — Sakura has a scent fetish, and Tatsuki cannot be around women without feeling aroused. To help him, Sakura suggests "special training," which allows her to indulge her scent kink. But as you might guess, things don't go as smoothly as planned.
Fukita began the manga in 2020 in Brite Publishing's Love Coffre magazine. The first collected volume was published in 2021, with the fourth volume released on September 26.
