I am impressed with your blog; also, I’m glad you did such a thorough review of this series; I’ve read all the way through book 6, and I’m also excited for the remainder of the series!

I had a little problem with that myself, but I’m relying on recommendations from trusted sources who’ve seen more of the series.

On the other hand, sometimes it’s healthy to laugh at such stupid things.

Well, besides “The Office”…but at least in The Office it’s not supposed to be sexy, too.

Maybe the author’s good, but this story sounds painful. How can anyone make sexual harassment funny?

Smut and more humor? Wow, I definitely need to follow this author! The more I hear, the more I root for this to be successful so we’ll get more from her.

Yuki Yoshihara! I’ve always been a big fan of hers, though I have to say this isn’t one of my favorites by her. Strangely enough, the more pornographic her books are, the better they seem to be. The books that contain a heavy dose of smut usually contain funny, headstrong heroines. Choko doesn’t sound much like a Yoshihara heroine!

Now I’m really excited to see the second volume! I didn’t realize she had such a following. Or what she was known for. Sounds great!

OMG. Somebody translated a Yuki Yoshihara book? FINALLY?! She’s done some amazing series that I’ve read in Japanese such as “Darling wa Namamono ni Tsuki”, and knowing her sense of humor and take on male/female relationships, I’m going to guess that this book is going to have a turn at some point. Usually her women are willful with a strong sense of humor and irony. And obsessed with sex.

She’s one of my favorite storytellers. :D

KNEW I recognized the art on that cover!

The interview with the boss reminds me of the interview scene in “Secretary.”
