Ayaka Is in Love with Hiroko! is a best-selling Japanese yuri rom-com manga by Sal Jiang, delivering equal parts heart-fluttering romance and laugh-out-loud office chaos.

The story centers on Ayaka, a hardworking but tightly wound junior employee, and Hiroko, the charismatic sales ace who also happens to be her manager. Ayaka falls head over heels when a project goes wrong and Hiroko gently reassures her that everything will be fine—taking responsibility and calming her worries with effortless grace. From that moment, Ayaka is smitten.

Determined to catch Hiroko’s eye, Ayaka reinvents her style—swapping her stiff, serious outfits for bright, bubbly fashion that matches her newfound romantic determination. She begins boldly (and sometimes awkwardly) flirting with her boss, unaware that Hiroko simply assumes Ayaka is straight and treats her advances as harmless friendliness.

As Ayaka grows bolder and Hiroko grows more confused, misunderstandings pile up in the most hilarious ways. Will this lovestruck junior and her oblivious manager finally untangle their mixed signals? Or will their office romance remain a comedy of errors forever?
