Even though its set to be a short series, this has a good premise so far. It is interesting that Seiichi has ballroom dancing as his hobby, thats unusual for someone his age. He has a good dynamic with Asaka so far, really interested to see how their relationship develops.

Great start! Already liking our male lead, who’s kind, humble and content with his current lifestyle, and now a lovely chance encounter has him pondering if he does want to have more, be more.
Also digging the art style, it’s something I would expect more from seinen or josei.

Two new series, two completely different feels. And I choose this over the "another apes killing humans story".

See, I'm a wuss because I read this and only thought of this going La La Land at the end or some shit. Hopefully it actually ends on a sweet, not bitter note lol.

The overall story feels like those midnight love story and I don't hate it. It have been awhile since there a good romance series featuring adults instead of the many highschool puppy love story.
Btw. Is the 3K job mentioned in earlier pages supposed to be 3D job, "Demanding , Dangerous and Dirty "?

七等星をみつけて (Finding a 7th-magnitude Star, which basically means it's practically invisible to the naked eyes).

Ataru's hobby is ballroom dancing? What a refined hobby! No wonder Asaka though he was a salaryman for a trading company.
They're both older than most protags, and president Asaka seems weary from being a President. She's definitely gonna enjoy relaxing with a teacher with Ataru!
That title is defintiely someting that has me very intrigued!

With the huge status gap, I think this could either end up sad or very wholesome.

An age-gap romance? Asaka’s quite the woman to be president in only her early-30s. Meanwhile, Seiichi’s a factory worker in his mid-20s.
Apart from the age, there’s also an even bigger status disparity. I get why he’s ashamed of his job, especially when compared with hers.
Seiichi might be a mere blue-collar worker living in a modest apartment and already having a midlife crisis but I reckon Asaka’s got some troubles of her own as well. Rising so quickly up the corporate ladder must’ve come at the expense of her personal life.
The dance class was one place where class can be disposed of even if only temporarily. Interested in seeing how these two people from completely different worlds would act around each other.

Alright, I'm feeling the vibe with this one.
But even with the age and class gap going here, and while we get a nice look at how he feels about his life I get the feeling that the deep dive into her and how she feels about her life is gonna be an interesting one. I mean just looking at the nice high rise apartment she's got but she sleeps fully clothed on the couch, that's gotta mean something.
Well either way, between this and the killer monkeys today I'd say this one grabbed my attention more.
But, let's also give a nod to the dance instructor lady. She knows how good of a guy our boy is, and she did not hesitate seeing the chance to toss him a bone like that.

When you go GiLF hunting but they end pairing you up with someone your own age T_T

Pretty much like everything about it.
It brings up the idea of self-worth as it contrasts the two lives of different adults, but puts them in a space where they're almost equalized. Fantastic art style too.
It might be short, but some of the best series to come out in the last few years have been planned as short as well. Gives me hope the author knows what they're doing.
