Tokyopop launches the Girls Love Office Rom-Com Manga Series Ayaka Is In Love With Hiroko

Posted on by


Tokyopop expands its catalog of Girls Love (GL) manga published under its LoveLove with Sal Jiang‘s Ayaka Is In Love With Hiroko.

Ayaka is passionately, head over heels in love with her work senior, Hiroko. But no matter how hard she tries to catch her eye, the polished, professional Hiroko never seems to get the hint. What’s a girl supposed to do to prove her love to her boss?

Hiroko isn’t out at work — though she’s got a reputation for being a real womanizer in the local lesbian community. But her self-control is tested when her beautiful and busty work subordinate starts getting awfully close to her…

This workplace rom-com by popular Twitter artist Sal Jiang features two lovestruck coworkers – who each think the other is straight. Ayaka Is In Love With Hiroko Vol. 1 is available now in-print and digitally from leading retailers.
