A showdown between a timid puppy and a boss with a secret alt account?! “Demon Boss: Gokudera-san Wants to Be Exposed” Vol. 1

I’d like to introduce “Oni Jōshi Gokudera-san wa Abakaretai 1” (MARBLE COMICS), published by Tokyo Mangasha!

The following is quoted from the back cover. Please note that the impressions and review do touch on the story’s content!! If you just want a quick overview of the plot, I’d be happy if you read only the red text and highlighted sections.

“So damn tempting.” …—————

Shoji, a corporate drone, is constantly being scolded by Gokudera-san—a highly capable yet demon boss.

What was supposed to be Gokudera-san sharing the SNS account of his pet dog instead leads to a URL that reveals the image of a man wearing women’s lingerie in an erotic pose……

Could it be…?!⁉!

With the gap between his sadistic daytime persona and his erotically cute nighttime self, and a corporate-dog subordinate’s desires about to completely break loose, there’s no stopping it!!

To debut with an “underwear BL” in a first-ever comic is quite an achievement, sensei!!

Before I can even calmly ask myself what on earth I’m writing in bold and capital letters, I feel like I should just keep going—but honestly, before reading it, I never imagined it would be *that* kind of story (^^). I mean, I even bought it purely based on the cover!! (The artwork and the level of detail were exactly my taste… and I never want to regret *not* buying something!) I’m so glad I bought it!!! With a salute and a round of applause, I offer my deepest praise and thanks to Arata-sensei for creating such a wonderful work!

Now then, let me talk about the main story (sudden switch to serious mode). In working adult life, there’s a system where if your job doesn’t end by quitting time, you work overtime—and the corporate slave bound by that system in this story is Keita Shoji, who unexpectedly reveals his hidden sadistic side. Meanwhile, his boss, the extremely strict demon supervisor Gokudera-san, is hiding a certain secret.

After learning that secret, Shoji-kun suddenly starts seeing everything through a different filter—while he’s shocked by sides of his boss he’d never noticed before, his interest is instantly piqued. And that’s when I thought… isn’t Gokudera-san a bit too careless? (the most tactful wording I could manage) It was still better that it was Shoji-kun who found out (not that it makes it okay), but this really shouldn’t get exposed…!! I’m worried!!! About what comes next…!!! He’s cute, though!!

As they begin sharing that secret, things naturally move into some steamy territory, but after the timid puppy does a complete turnaround, Gokudera-san becomes way too adorable…!! How has he managed to stay safe all this time…?! The way thin fabric and just-barely-soaked moisture are depicted is absolutely incredible (^^). With a beautifully built physique that isn’t overly slender, and glimpses of well-trained abs peeking through while he’s being held, it’s a feast for the eyes—there’s so much to enjoy that I truly hope you’ll read it…!!

And this series is continuing with subsequent volumes (every part of me is absolutely thrilled), and the spotlight expands to characters beyond just these two! I plan to cover that in future blog posts as well, so I’d be happy if you check those out too. It’s an easy story to binge-read, but it’s packed with substance, so I recommend taking your time and savoring it (^^)
