I feel like this is one of those workplace romances that are more 'workplace' than 'romance'. The workplace side of the story is actually pretty solid. The story is telling a fairly decent slice of life regarding life in the world of 3d studios. I can feel both the joy, the passion, and also the suffering embedded within the main characters and the world around them. The main characters are also pretty good by themselves. Their personalities are defined, and their internal conflict for the first volume feels pretty realistic too, be that the seme or the uke. Between the slow and steady pace, and the waythe narrative zooms closer to the characters for resolving the first volume's conflict, I find that the first volume feels surprisingly and delightfully mature.

If anything, I feel that the romance is the weakest part here. It's FINE, but at the core it's just a typical caring senpai/ tsundere kohai BL.
