My Boss's Kitten Volume 1 by Yumi Hisawa

When it comes to Kodansha's Digital First campaign, I have found it to be a wonderful treasure trove of smutty manga. Their most recent Josei title, My Boss's Kitten, is the topic of today's conversation.

Aya Fujisawa is a working adult in her mid twenties, who at the beginning of this volume, is left at the alter by her long time boyfriend. Not only that, but she now has to move out of the home they were supposed to be living in together after lovingly putting renovations into the home. Her job is the only thing she has going for her. Her team leader, Kamiya bluntly pointed this out to her when she comes back to work. 

Aya is at her home for the evening, when someone enters her home.  She had been given until the end of the week to vacate, but the new owner already has keys. It just happens to be Kamiya, her boss at work. Due to the late hour, he offers to let her stay for that night, and until she can find another place on her own. He teases her that if she were a kitten, he could keep her. Aya realizes that she wouldn't mind being kept by this man, and meows at him. 

Things begin to steam up from there, as they begin spending more time together. Both of these characters have a lot of things that they need to work on in this series, and I am excited to see them go on this journey.

I do feel the need to mention that there is some questionable consent, and I know that it can bother some readers.  In this particular case, it did not bother me as much as a lot of others, but I do feel the need to warn you. 

The steamy meter is very high on this particular one! The teasing about her being a kitten plays off really well for me personally. So if you are looking for a good, smutty time, it's there for you in this manga. I do like that there is a lot more going on in the volume than just the smut.  There is a good story in here as well. Kamiya is divorced, and no one can understand why. He is handsome, intelligent, and very successful in his work. I hope we learn a lot more in the upcoming volumes.

And yes, despite it's problems, I will be continuing. I'm actually excited to read the next volume, and this just came out today! I hope that you try it out as well, and enjoy it!
