'I Can't Sleep Because of Natsume Meguru'

Manga: Emi Mijiko

Publisher: MechaComic Original

Label: G☆Girls

She thought becoming an adult would mean becoming truly 'grown-up'—27-year-old Motoda Sana broke up with her boyfriend from the same company four months ago. The breakup was due to his infidelity, but rumors painting Sana as the villain spread within the company. Misunderstood by coworkers and even her best friend, she lost the will to defend herself and became isolated. Her savior was Natsume Meguru, a young elite employee transferred from headquarters. Despite being the 'prince' of the company, he strangely takes a special liking to Sana. On their first date, when he attempts to escalate their relationship physically, his 'true intentions' are suddenly revealed!?

'I Can't Sleep Because of Natsume Meguru' is an office romance between Sana, isolated by betrayal and misunderstanding, and Meguru, the elite employee who shows her unusual attention. The story captivates readers with Meguru’s tender gaze reserved only for Sana and the mystery behind his 'true intentions,' earning strong reader support since launch.
