A hilarious office romance!

Choko Kuze is the sensible daughter of a venerable family who went bankrupt. She joins a real estate company as an entry-level office worker, but her eccentric boss is harder on her than anyone else in the company! After hearing him inadvertently call her "milady," she realizes he was the young servant boy she knew as a child. At work he's a tyrant, but after hours he insists on treating her like a lady of the nobility. Is romance even possible for a couple locked in such a crazy role reversal?

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Here's a Harlequin premise in manga form: former heiress, bankrupt, joins the working world, where her old servant is now her boss, making for one life during the day, and a very different one at night, where he pampers her. Although part of the Shojo Beat line, like Nana, this series is for the older reader, due to both premise and occasional profanity. The art fits both genres: it's got the stern-but-attractive older boss and the lovely-but-insecure young woman in panels dominated by emotion and decorated with flowers. The boss-servant tells her how to behave, how to do her secretarial job, even how to speak; he also knows her measurements intimately. Longing looks, over-the-top tension (a knife-wielding crazy takes her hostage), and passionate verbal exchanges make for a thrilling roller-coaster love story. The powerful, perfect man who becomes a lady's slave for love is a staple of the text romance; here, the servant part is simply more literal. His protection is overwhelming and much too traditional—some readers may not understand why she puts up with such controlling verbal abuse —but the moments of kindness he shows are seductive. (Dec.)

Okay, this manga contains all the stock characters: impoverished noble family, naive working girl, overprotective men, office romance, cross-dressing best friends, a rival female who eventually becomes a friend, otaku references too numerous to mention and contrived situations wherein our hero nurses/rescues/educates our heroine. Yet, it works.
Don't ask me how, but it does.
This is a series for adults, with respect to the sexual situations. The rest is like a version of a high-school manga but in a real-estate development office. Still, it's funny, the characters are interesting, if stock and when Choku goes into 'Milady' mode and orders Domoto about, it adds a light frisson of dominance to the sexual tension. Personally, I think they probably could have wrapped up this whole series in less than 5 books, but we all know how a successful storyline gets drawn out to keep those mangaka employed.
So why do I like this series? Well, it's like those fizzy candies, sweet, tart and satisfying in the right way. It's funny how the author pokes fun at her characters and her profession in sly moments. So sit back, get a snack and enjoy!

I saw a copy of this manga volume while browsing the shelves at my local library. I decided to check it out and give it a try.

Chouko is the main character of Butterflies, Flowers. Her family had been wealthy until Chouko's father failed in his investments and had to send the servants away. A decade after the family lost its wealth, Chouko's father owns a small ramen shop. Chouko applies for a job at a large real estate firm, and it turns out her boss is the son of her family's former chauffeur. While he acts like a tyrant to her at the workplace, her boss has actually had a crush on her since they were young. The manga follows this romantic conflict.

Butterflies, Flowers was an OK manga, but it's not a series I'm going to go out of my way to track down more volumes of. However, if I ever come across the next volume at the library, I might check it out just to see if the story progresses or not. With the subject matter involved, this series is not meant for younger readers. I would personally recommend Butterflies, Flowers to manga readers who are 18 years of age and older.

I wrote this review after checking out a copy of this manga volume through the King County Library System.
