Sweat and Soap, Vol. 2 - Kintetsu Yamada, Matt Treyvaud

(This doesn't actually have page numbers, so I'm guessing.)

 

I'm still enjoying this, but the author seems to have massively scaled back Asako's body odor insecurities, even though it's only been a couple months since she and Natori started dating. For example, in this volume she participates in a work trip. I could think of multiple reasons why she might have been anxious about it (she might have been concerned about the amount of toiletries she'd need to bring and whether anyone would notice, and whether she'd be able to find convenient breaks to put on deodorant), but it never came up, not even when the interdepartmental ping-pong championship started.

 

Edit: I just checked the reviews on Goodreads and am laughing because it seems like most of the complaining is focused on the reduced number of sex scenes.
