Kono Kaisha ni Suki na Hito ga Imasu (I Have a Crush at Work)

Yui Mitsuya and Masugu Tateishi aren't just any coworkers—they totally have the hots for each other. His helpful yet humble attitude makes her giddy, and her cuteness leaves him grinning like a fool. Problem is, they're trying to keep their new relationship under wraps to avoid making things awkward at work. But seeing how they can't keep their hands off each other, they run the risk of spilling their little secret with each passing day at the office.

Preliminary (12/148 eps)

Tateishi and Mitsuya are dating. There's just one issue: They work at the same company, and have to keep their relationship a secret.

Since it's a romcom, there's no need to say that they're hilariously bad at hiding their relationship, and often act quite suspicious. At work, Mitsuya is mostly cold and insulting, which is the exact opposite to her real self. When they are alone, she's completely lovey-dovey instead.

The manga has a nice balance of both, showing some of their interaction at work, but then also sprinkling a bunch of cuteness in between. Their romance does have some decent progress and also some more ...

Kono Kaisha ni Suki na Hito ga Imasu, or Can You Keep a Secret? is sweet, no bs, no contrivances, just a pure and honest and simple representation, simulation, of love.

A perfectly cute little romance story between coworkers trying to hide their relationship from the other people at their company (keeping it a secret being a better option than having everyone know and then having the spotlight on them and it just being a big thing).

The premise of them keeping it a secret actually isn't that important in the grand scheme of things and it starts to sort of fade into the background ...

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (21/148 eps)

While i think it a generally good manga there is one thorn that keeps distracting me.

Story 6/10

As you may have already read the description it's basically a romance/slice of live about two coworkers who are keeping their relationship a secret.
Whilst i really do want to rate it better but the whole drama about keeping it a secret is a major thorn being it a main plot makes it even worse the whole slice of live and off work scenes are wholesome but artificially created hurdle about keeping their relationship a secret is a major flaw....There isn't any credible reason to do this and ... if this is some kind of kink well hate to break it to you guys usually love falls apart when the said kink disappears (excitement goes away and that usually brings about a stagnation in relationship).
At work they try to keep it a secret (not very successfully) while trying to maintain their previous work relationship steady (fighting like cat and a dog or better yet being cold to each other). Outside of work we see some wholesome relationship booming while that SECRET sometimes ruines those wholesome moments.
If the author will put NTR moments where Male Lead or Female Lead will encounter a coworker who is pursuing them openly and actively while ML or FL do not straight up reject or uncover that they are in a relationship already i will drop this the moment i see this because this will basically destroy the plot even more something akin to cuckolding - Our leads cannot tell that they are in relationship so they accept or atleast do not straight up reject advances of others, basically that is a major artificial drama implementation meaning that author was lacking in script writing and i hate clear 100% artificial elements of the story this basically destroys the whole genre slice of life since it's not life but a make believe of an author who cannot visualize what he is writing.

Art 7/10

While it is not so detailed background wise (many blanks) is is quite appealing and characters seemed likeable. Speech bubbles and panel placement was up to industry standards no confusion whatsoever.

Characters 7/10

Story and character wise it's still hard to rate it because i seen only 21 chapters. For now characters seem well like ordinary people especially our Leads who live double life, while FL actually has some ability to become a different person (work/out of work) our ML is a straight up person who is almost the same in both atmospheres he is simply more....on the guard at work i guess.
Supports are there but they do not bring a major impact they are for now more like your coworkers who you are casual with but keep your private life and work life apart they don't seem close.

Enjoyment 6/10

As per usual enjoyment is subjective, i liked it but they main drama point of this story is flawed for me it gives off a artificial drama flags and smells of amatuer mangaka. If author think off some good reason for the SECRET maybe i would be content but here right now i see 2 adults playing out a fetish or being dumb to the core since with their secret they bring about more problems than resolutions (work quality worsens!).

Overall 6/10

It might be too early to rate it but i wanted people to know it's main CON since this con is right from the start and is a main story pillar it's more like author created a major restriction from the get go. What about marriage? Will they reveal their relationship then? Or will they continue with this absurdity? Remember i told you that when a couple loses their main kink they usually stagnate and fall apart....well it seems author doesn't know this psyche trick of ours ofcourse they can find something new but well we might as well time skip 10 years from now and see a whole lot of dissatisfaction and cheating going on.
The pillar of their relationship is shaky and thus this author knowingly or unknowingly created a tragedy that we as readers won't see probably but some of us will know..........
