Synopsis
To cover his expenses, Asumi takes on a housekeeping gig, cooking, cleaning, standard stuff. His employer is Keiichi Naruse, a single father who's genuinely drowning between a demanding job and raising his young son Ichika alone. It's a pretty wholesome domestic setup at first. Then Asumi stumbles onto something personal while cleaning Naruse's room, and suddenly the dynamic between them gets a lot more complicated. That discovery shifts the whole mood of the show from "sweet domestic slice-of-life" to something considerably more charged, and the tension builds from there. This is an 8-episode ONA from 2019, and it sits squarely in Boys Love territory with explicit content, worth knowing going in. What makes it a little different from the usual BL setup is the single-father angle. Naruse isn't some brooding CEO or a college rival; he's just a tired, lonely guy trying to hold his life together, which gives the attraction between them a more grounded texture than you'd expect. If you've watched Junjou Romantica or Dakaretai Otoko and you're comfortable with explicit BL, this scratches a similar itch but with a domestic warmth underneath the heat. It also comes in standard and explicit versions, so there's some flexibility depending on what you're looking for. It's not trying to be a deep emotional journey, but it delivers on its premise with more character detail than the genre sometimes bothers with.

yuno_yukikaze_139★★★★☆EP 1This is barely four minutes long and they already skipped past any actual introduction just to get to that awkward bedroom scene
inumaki_inkling★☆☆☆☆EP 1I really wanted to like this because the single dad trope is usually so sweet, but I am actually disgusted by how Asumi acted. He finds his boss's private stuff and just decides to force himself on him while the guy is clearly exhausted. It felt way more like a violation than a romance and I hope Naruse kicks him out
saccharinecoffee★★☆☆☆EP 1Naruse deserves way better than a housekeeper who doesnt understand what boundaries are because that ending was straight up uncomfortable
oliver_operatic_502★★☆☆☆EP 1The way Asumi finds that porn collection and decides it gives him a free pass to touch Naruse is just creepy and weird
lana★★★☆☆EP 1I felt so gross watching Asumi just push himself onto Naruse like that after finding those videos and it really ruined the whole vibe for me
bonnie★★☆☆☆EP 1Naruse deserves better than a housekeeper who goes through his stuff and then uses his secrets to get physical and the way he just cries is hard to watch
yasutora_sado_493★★☆☆☆EP 1The pacing is so fast and they barely speak before they are in bed and it makes the romance feel totally fake and unearned
sheik_263★★★★☆EP 1The animation is decent for what it is and if you just want raunchy stuff with no story then the uncensored version delivers on the spicy scenes
nemurinavi_neko_470★★☆☆☆EP 1Watching the housekeeper act like that toward a single father was so uncomfortable and the lack of consent makes the whole dynamic feel really toxic
sanemi_storm_133★☆☆☆☆EP 1I am tired of these BL tropes where one guy just forces himself on the other, especially when Naruse was clearly not in a position to say no
shinobu_sting_130★★☆☆☆EP 1The way Asumi goes from cleaning the house to pinning the guy down because he saw some dvds is insane and I felt so bad for Naruse because he just needed help with his kid and the house but instead he got a predator who doesn't understand consent at all and the whole thing felt way too sleazy even for this type of show
thecatlife★★★☆☆EP 1I hated how Asumi just ignored every boundary and forced himself on Naruse after finding those videos and it made my skin crawl
yiga_clan★☆☆☆☆EP 1Asumi is a total creep and he barely knows the guy before jumping him and it felt super predatory for a first meeting
violet_evergarden_168★★☆☆☆EP 1Naruse is just trying to be a good dad and then his housekeeper finds his private stash and takes advantage of him and it was just hard to watch
midnightweeb★★★★☆EP 1It is definitely just trashy smut with no real plot, but Naruse is pretty and the uncensored version is exactly what you expect from this genre
diorukia★★★★☆EP 1The animation is actually better than expected for one of these short series and that scene in the bedroom had a lot of tension
rubeus★★★☆☆EP 1Naruse needs to hide his private stash better and the way the student just jumped into things the first day on the job felt way too fast
vincentblack★★★☆☆EP 1I was staring in shock when Asumi just went for it because the chemistry between them was already getting so intense after that scene in the hallway
