Saikawa Fusai no Renai Jijou – Nananen Jikkuri [translated by Cotton Candy Scans] reveals the intriguing dynamic between two colleagues who appear flawless at work but hide a complicated relationship behind closed doors. Hanamura Mitsuki and Saikawa Chiaki, both 29, have earned the nickname “The Saikawa Couple” due to their seamless teamwork at their advertising agency. While they present a united front professionally, their private interactions tell a different story—Saikawa is affectionate in public yet unexpectedly cruel in private.
During a company gathering, Saikawa shocks everyone by pulling Mitsuki into a passionate kiss, leaving her confused and embarrassed. Though their coworkers assume they’re a perfect match, Mitsuki struggles with Saikawa’s unpredictable behavior. She feels trapped in a game where his true intentions remain unclear, torn between their professional harmony and the emotional turmoil he stirs in her.
The story explores the tension between appearances and reality, as Mitsuki grapples with her growing frustration. Why does Saikawa act so differently when they’re alone? Is he toying with her, or does he genuinely care? The more she tries to understand him, the more conflicted she becomes. Their seven-year partnership is built on trust at work, but in private, it feels like a battle of wills—one that Mitsuki isn’t sure she can win.
