Sweat and Soap’ is a bit out there, but I ended up giving it 3 stars because it delivered what it promised, but it isn’t going to be something I recommend people when they ask me what manga to try… You know?

Don't miss a romcom manga like no other! In an office romance, there's a fine line between sexy and awkward… and that line is where Asako—a woman who sweats copiously—met Kotaro—a perfume developer who can't get enough of Asako's, er, scent. I will admit, it is sweet in very salty way (see what I did there). Although much like a lot of titles that push the concept harder than other aspects of the story, it fails to give us something fully formed. The characters are fun, a little pervy, and almost cute. But the depth of the emotional connection is shallow at best, and the motivation and overall arc is quite one-note and cliche. a b Demelza (March 11, 2020). "Sweat and Soap Volume 1 Review".

It’s not without its problems, but I really liked the artwork, and I thought the story did carry forward in an entertaining way. It was easy to follow (props to the translation) and I could see the potential for a deeper exploration of the characters and their motivations.
