Below is a quote from the back cover. The impressions and review touch on the story’s content! If you just want a quick overview of what it’s about!! I’d be happy if you could read only the red text and highlighted sections.

Our housekeeper is an excellent cook, kind, a little lonely, and a bit naughty ♥―――

Itsuki Kayahara, an elite office worker who distrusts women, decides to try using a male housekeeping service. When he returns home the next day, he’s greeted by a meal seasoned exactly to his taste, along with words of appreciation—and a note adorned with an awkwardly cute cat illustration!

However, the soothing housekeeper turns out to be a young man wearing piercings and a black mask! Despite his flashy appearance, he is modest and a kind-hearted housekeeper named Sho.

While Itsuki is pleased to see the once-reserved Sho gradually warming up to him, a certain incident causes him to involuntarily imagine Sho pleasuring himself…!?

Here comes the downer-type housekeeper━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!

This is the work that introduced me to Yaezaki-sensei, and it’s a wonderful piece packed to the brim with cuteness and a touch of spice (＾＾). It feels like my preferences were blown wide open in the best way possible. No regrets whatsoever…!!

First, as for what a “downer-type” boy is like, the term generally refers to someone who, fashion-wise, leans more toward monochrome than colorful styles—favoring black-and-white tones, presenting themselves in a darker way, with a somewhat shadowy aura. Rather than having visibly high energy, they are often portrayed as having a lower, more subdued vibe. (Wait… that’s cute… a brand-new door just opened right in front of me…―――!!) Honestly, until I read this work, I was like, “Downer-type… what’s that?” But then—Sho-kun turned out to be on a whole different level…!!!!!!!!

Great at cleaning・delicious, to-your-taste cooking・the surprising personality gap you’d never guess from his looks!!!

Because of his former girlfriend, Itsuki has developed a deep distrust of women. Although he excels at his job, he’s not good at housework, so he decides to try a housekeeping service. He had always imagined such services to be mostly staffed by women—but the one who shows up is Sho-kun. With sharp piercings, a black mask, and a low-key demeanor, he hardly seems like someone you’d associate with being a housekeeper. That’s exactly what makes it irresistible!!! A treasure trove of unexpected charm…!!

As they continue entrusting the housework to him, the two gradually open their hearts to each other and grow closer. Itsuki, the elite office worker, reveals a solidly built, muscular physique when he undresses… while Sho’s contrast between his usual cool demeanor and the changes shown in more intimate scenes is just overwhelming…!! So cute (＾＾). The blushing expressions, the way liquid drips and trails across skin are absolutely top-tier! (The best & the greatest)

What makes it so precious is that the two of them don’t remain just friends with benefits, but honestly move forward by deepening their feelings for one another. By properly facing their own emotions, the process of coming to terms with their past and learning how to express their feelings toward someone truly important is beautiful—and something I absolutely love. Please, do let yourself be swept away by the sensuality overflowing from the pages and the cascade of emotions they carry (＾＾).
