Heartwarming

NOT an enemies-to-lovers, for some reason I thought it would be.
Shimizu just admires his boss Ueno professionally, although Ueno is always distant with everyone.
When the boss becomes a little kid, their relationship suddenly changes - because Ueno needs the help Shimizu is willing to offer. He'll be growing a bit everyday, and in the meantime Shimizu's feelings grow into something more and Ueno's past is revealed.
The pace is impecable, both characters are likeable, drama is kept to a minimum and consent is present (yay!).

Like the plot

Simple but creative plot, light-hearted. The art is beautiful. I appreciate the author developing Ueno-san’s personality not being tsundere (i don’t like this type), rather he’s just reserved due to past trauma, but once he’s sorted out his feelings, he’s straight-forward.
I enjoy reading this.

Super cute

Definitely a must read. Super cute couple with just the right amount of slow burn and wholesomeness. Only complaint is I wish it were longer!

Delightful and wholesome

Adorable! Nothing happens while the boss is a minor, if that's a concern. Very cute, well-paced and just an all around wholesome story. Undertones of self-acceptance and everything is consensual. An all around great and wholesome love story. And the boss is so cute as a kid!

So sweet! And no weird Shotacon stuff.

Was worried there’d be weird shotacon stuff but this is wholesome, sweet, and a great read! Art style is also really nice, ending doesn’t seem rushed and wraps it all in a nice bow.

Puppy love with a little angst

The boss has closed himself off to love to protect his wounded heart but he'll be worn down with the boundless determination of his lovestruck junior and the help of a magic wish.

表紙以上のかわいさと読み応え

More cute and readable than the cover

とっつきにくいこわいオーラの上司が実は社員のことをよく見ているって最高の上司じゃないか普段の表情や態度がその人の全てじゃないと教えてもらえたなぁ上司のかわいい面や知らなかったことを流れ星をきっかけに見れそうでわくわくしてしまいます純粋な部下がどう上司のピンチを救うのか楽しみです

My boss, who has a scary aura that's hard to stick with, is actually the best boss, and they told me that his normal facial expressions and attitudes aren't everything about that person; I'm excited to be able to see my boss's cute side and things I didn't know in the wake of shooting stars. I'm looking forward to seeing how pure subordinates save their boss's pinch

おじさんは、好きじゃないけど

I don't like the old man

おじさんとは、嫌やけど、そこまで老けてなく、ほとんどが、若返り中の話やから、若くて楽しめた。若いけど、子供の時でも、中身はオジサンやから、喋りがオジサンで楽しい。

I don't like Uncle, but he wasn't that old, and most of them were stories about being rejuvenated, so I was young and enjoyed it. I'm young, but even when I'm a kid, the inside is an old man, so it's fun to talk to him because he's old.

星に願いを…(なるほどです)

Wish upon a star... (I see)

This review contains spoilers. キヨウ先生のファンタジー系物語が楽しくて作者買いしました。双葉社30%オフクーポンで一気買い出来て嬉しい～。表紙の手を繋がれたちっちゃい上司の可愛さに一目惚れです。よくある子供化ファンタジーですが、ちっちゃいままでなく、徐々に成長しながら戻っていくケースは珍しいのではないかな？うぅ…愛らしいちびっこのまんまが良かった(泣)でも、この変化が良かった！ちびこいイケメンくんが、更に更にカッコよくなって行く変遷を見るのも楽しい。はぁ、課長若い頃めちゃカッコいいじゃないですか！最終形の現在の課長が一番、ん？おや？って感じです(笑)肝心のストーリーも良かったです。無愛想だけど、仕事の出来る上司を尊敬して自分も頑張りたい清水。ある日、課長が子供になった事から二人の物語が始まります。頑なな課長をよそに、ガンガンお世話しに来る清水。とってもよい子で、課長の固さも緩みそう。課長の家を訪れるたびに成長してるのですが、その成長ぶりにまつわるある変化も興味深い。ほぇ～。尊敬や憧れからいつしか変わって行く心。真っ直ぐに体当たりな年下ワンコに絆されながらも、課長の顔に影を落とす過去の秘密が彼を苦しめて…切ない片思いですね。でも、でも、スーパーポジティブで明るい清水がへこたれないから面白い。ほんと、ポジティブだよ(笑)清水がいてくれたから、色んな事を乗り越える事が出来た。もう観念するしかない。一人じゃないっていいね。日頃、苦虫つぶしたような顔の課長でしたが、エチの時の色気ったら。恋の成せる技ですね。さらには、ラストの幸せな笑顔が一番素敵でした。星に願いを…なるほどでした。面白かったぁ～。クーポンありがとう。

This review contains spoilers. I enjoyed Kiyo-sensei's fantasy story and bought it by the author. I'm happy to be able to buy it all at once with the Futabasha 30% off coupon~. I fell in love at first sight with the cuteness of my boss holding hands on the cover. It's a common fantasy made for children, but isn't it rare to see cases where they are still small and gradually grow back? Wow... the adorable little girl was good (crying), but this change was good! It's also fun to watch the little handsome guy's transition to become even more cool. Huh, the section chief was really cool when he was young, wasn't he! The current section chief in the final form is the best, huh? Whoa? I feel like (laughs) The essential story was good too. Although unfriendly, Shimizu respects her boss who can do her job and wants to do her best. One day, the story of the two begins when the section chief becomes a child. Apart from her stubborn section chief, Shimizu is here to take care of her. He's a very nice kid, and the section chief seems to relax too. Every time I visit the section chief's house, I'm growing, and some changes related to that growth are also interesting. wow! A heart that will change from respect and admiration at some point. Even though he is bound by a young dog who is straight up, secrets from the past that cast a shadow on the section chief's face torment him... it's a sad unrequited love. But, it's interesting because Shimizu, which is super positive and bright, doesn't get dented. It's really positive (laughs) Shimizu was there, so I was able to overcome a lot of things. I have no choice but to think about it. You don't have to be alone. On a daily basis, he was a section chief with a face that smashed a bitter bug, but he had sex appeal when he was mad. It's a technique that makes love work, isn't it? Furthermore, the happy smile at the end was the most wonderful. Wish upon a star... I see. that was interesting~. Thanks for the coupons.

2巻まで読みました！

I've read up to 2 volumes!

今1番単行本化を楽しみにしてる作品。そして待ちきれなくて、割引されてたしつい分冊版を購入。かわいい！！買って良かった！3,4巻も欲しくなってきちゃったどうしよう。私は文句なしの星5評価なんですが、思ったより評価低めですね…？課長の年齢が幅広すぎるからかなあ…？

This is the work I'm looking forward to being made into the number one standalone book right now. And I couldn't wait, so I bought the discounted split edition. cute!! I'm glad I bought it! I'm starting to want volumes 3 or 4, what should I do. I have an undisputed 5 star rating, but my rating is lower than I thought...? I wonder if it's because section chiefs are too old...?

若返りすぎ

Too much rejuvenation

不動産会社の新入社員清水は、堅物上司の上野の優しい面を知り惹かれていくが、ある日病欠の上司の家を訪ねると幼児化していて、、、コミュ力高めのワンコ系清水が、堅物上野の心を溶かしていく様は微笑ましい。上野のツッコミが冷静すぎて笑えます。

Shimizu, a new employee at a real estate company, learns about the gentle side of her boss Ueno, and is attracted to her strong boss, but one day she visits her boss's house on sick leave, and... it's smiling how Shimizu, a dog with high communication skills, melts Kazamono Ueno's heart. Ueno's Tsukkomi is so calm that it makes me laugh.

レンタルにて

By rental

This review contains spoilers. 作者様の別作品が面白かったので今作はレンタルしてみました。38歳の上司がなぜか若返って、いや若返るどころか子どもになってしまいます。そこからまたなぜか成長して、3話現在中学生の見た目。中身は38歳だからと言うのもありますが妙にセクシーな美少年でドキッとします。上司の中学時代の切ないエピソードもちらっと出てきてBLらしくなってきました。続きが楽しみです。

This review contains spoilers. Another work by the author was interesting, so I rented this one. My 38-year-old boss is getting younger for some reason, and far from being young, he has become a child. From there, for some reason, they grew up again, and now they look like middle school students in episode 3. There is also the fact that the inside is 38 years old, but I'm excited because he's a strangely sexy, beautiful boy. A sad episode from my boss's middle school days also came up all over, and it became like BL. I'm looking forward to the continuation.
