Summary
At 26, detective Harabashi Shinichi had failed in his job hunting and reluctantly became a police officer after giving up on his dreams.
One day, during an investigation, a young and stunningly beautiful female career bureaucrat, Akinaga Maho, appears on the scene.
“Huh… Shinichi!?”
“Maho!?”
She has become the supervisor of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division at a young age as an elite, and she is also Shinichi’s childhood friend.
The two had a falling out during high school, and though they felt awkward, they ended up room-sharing due to an unexpected turn of events.
Shinichi listens to Maho’s worries and, by empathizing with her loneliness, they gradually regain their previous trusting relationship.
Moreover, it seemed that Maho had loved Shinichi since they were young…! As they live together, Maho becomes infatuated with Shinichi and stops hiding her feelings. At the police station, the cool elite Maho, at home, begs Shinichi to sleep together and rests her head on his lap…
Shinichi and Maho cook together, go on dates, and take care of each other when they catch a cold… Their relationship begins to resemble that of a real married couple.
“I can’t live without you, Shinichi…!”
A beautiful elite turns out to be a cute childhood friend at home! A police romantic comedy about reclaiming lost time!

Huh honestly I was here for the yandere tag but honestly V1 doesn’t have pretty much any yandere characters. Rather then yandere I think “Obsessive Love” should replace it. This is also a harem story be warned if you want just sweetness this prob aint for you. because theres alot of sweetness but cmon its a harem ofc theres gonna be drama
huh usually when your gf says that don’t fall for it. Thought ig maha only said yes because she gonna be stalking again lol otherwise how would she find out if he was too friendly to kana on the date.
Dam I NEED MORE TL GODS BLESS ME (‘-‘)//
hmm I was routing for kana for awhile but then maho is too lewd to not win. Also huh its not really harsh that’s literally how I’d expect most guys and girls to turn someone down rather then being like the MC in the beginning constantly just playing off womans flirting with him as just jokes. Some might even say he’d be emotionally cheating if he keeps letting girls flirt with him and he does the bs bluntly saying their sexy, hot, cute, I do like your body yes, etc what he been doing to the 2 girls in the first volume. I mean I let it slide in the beginning because he wasn’t dating anyone but homie gotta hold his ground and know when some stuff you shouldn’t say to a girl that isn’t your gf.

hmm last chapter said it was kana now its another female boss huh
no way another girl??
lol so far its just maho trying to seduce MC to lose control on her instead of her saying what she wants
bro does she have no shame lmfao especially if shes still a cop
huh ig I was kinda right with her reasoning for not letting him meet her lil sis was because she also loved him I thought they’d hate each but guess they both have a already seemed to have consulted in each other about their love for the MC. That is crazy though all these coincidences with maho were truly all coincidences? She was legit down to never see MC again if she didn’t meet him at work? bruh then fk maho(jk but isn’t that crazy?) and choose lil sis who was actually willing to go find him once she got to Tokyo. Sadness my Kana is in 3rd place confessing wise.
Wow all that just to say I will live with you then again hes basically saying he wants to be with her too lets see if the relationship regresses lol
hmm maybe the two sisters started to fight because Maho cut off MC from the family when lil sis wasn’t every actually mad at him or blame but she simply wanted him to be near her after the incident but maho chased him away so shes been mad at her? but hmm meh just a unlikely theory
Everytime i think of Maho she seems sus. Like with her lil sister who seems to actually wants to meet the MC already but its like she doesn’t want him to meet her?(Pretty she knows the reason he doesn’t want to make a move on her which is never setting things with lil sis) Both maho and MCs name should be on the news by this point so if lil sis still can’t find MC I call bs.
lmfao that is pretty fking funny imagine bank robbers going back to the scene of the crime a few hours later and there she is alone and gets kidnapped? Especially as a police superintendent who are usually never alone at the scene of a crime irl or tv shows literally anything you will never see a superintended not with fellow inspectors
ahh forgot the sister thing thats why hes still being a wuss even after getting stabbed and PROCLAIMING HE WILL TELL HER WHAT HE SHOULDA FROM THE HEART!!
Dam im shocked whos the yandere? Why was there a yandere tag? I assumed it was maho but nah theres no yandere girl cop who would lose in a fight or get captured unless she planned it which I highly doubt at this point she wouldn’t want him stabbed right?. She seemed so sus so many things like falling into her plan in the first 25 chapters like everything was perfect for her to get close to the mc, but nothing as been shown as to prove she had anything to do with those things so 100% only yandere thing she did was following MC in mall stalking him but far thats the only 100%
ohh one of the two sisters gonna pop in
exactly why playing hero untrained woulda most likely ended worst for him when maho’s sister was kidnapped
Dudes its already too late both of you legit fully showing you both wanna be together and both seemed to see it in each other too
bro why doesn’t she just kiss him smh she has the ballz to sit on his boner in a dress…but not kiss my dude? What kinda wack relationship barrier does she have
bro why doesn’t she just kiss him smh she has the ballz to sit on his boner in a dress…but not kiss my dude? What kinda wack relationship barrier does she have
finally? I wonder what they truly said to each other when they had the fight about her blaming him for everything saying he has nothing and what his replies were
finally? I wonder what they truly said to each other when they had the fight about her blaming him for everything saying he has nothing and what his replies were
She’s just asking to see his boner lol like I get they have no experience but cmon she already knows hes completely attracted to her body sexually
dam even lil sis wants to be with MC? none of this makes sense two sisters in love with MC but both refusing to contact for 8 years sounds mad crazy why hasn’t maho told her sis about finding MC already?
huh hmm im sure younger sis already knew maho loved MC and he liked her so shes probably gonna say something like “I forgive you and im sorry please be with my sister?”
huh maybe she saw kana and which is why she hid them. Also bro MC gotta chill “Some might even say it was his fault she had to go through that” dude should learn to forgive himself. Also maho’s sister has been wanting to speak with him? As I said before they’re clearly not putting in the effort of “wanting” when the two sisters could 100% easily get in contact with his parents considering they were neightbors for 18 years and im sure both sides parents are still somewhat in contact.
oh dam
“Hey don’t let me go okay?’ bro you were legit the one who let him go the first time why are you scared he will be the one to let go. If anything he should be the one truly afraid of her just cutting off all contact again
For what lmfao can kinda see Kana doing that tho which I hope she won’t because im sure hes traumatized about kidnappings still
hmm will maho finally be direct?
Sadness if only maho didn’t show up literally as kana was starting to make a move on MC. why did she show up then smh
Bruh thats the thing kana always seems to be 100% honest towards him unlike maho who plays her flirting off as a joke never being direct but yes you can say maho has been direct but like I said shes always saying “not as lovers I meant just as childhood friends’ every time completely confusing MC but here we have kana not confusing him and being direct with her feelings honestly putting in that effort 🙂 kana the besto
maho’s fault honestly she gave up too easily idk what she expected him to say but shes the boss she already set up the rule to have to keep their past a secret if they are in public and meet a fellow officer.
YES KANA was i wrong to assume maho was the yandere ? lol let me answer tht hell no maho been having yandere vibes the first time they met, but kana huh didn’t expect her too
GO KANA!!! FIGHT
bro fk off with her bs “8 years and I can finally stand next to you in tokyo” bich had 8 years to contact him if she truly felt that way. She literally had to be the one to contact him if she truly felt that way in my opinion because he already tried to apologize and they cut him out of their lives, and I believe most would agree. like i get childhood sweethearts growing apart but that clearly wasn’t her case she was in love the whole time where was the effort on her part and I bet her reasoning for not contacting is some bs like she felt too guilty or some shat. If you felt that guilty as you say why didn’t you do anything about it?
bruh all im doing reading this novel is just ranting about the bs lol mb
Dam please tell me how if she loves him this much why she never contacted him for 8 years im sure she coulda easily asked his parents if she truly is in love as she seems to be. Also seems in the past he did try to apologize to both sisters but both shut him out so he moved on as you should. Maho had to be the one to contact him back or her younger sister because clearly that kidnapped incident wasn’t his fault but he tried to reach out but nope so he gave up, but nope suddenly 8 years later she claims too still be super in love with him like how make that make sense? idk like in my opinion she had 8 years apologize if she was truly sorry and wanted to be with him but nope she only apologized because they randomly met
Legit if she was always like this as a kids to highschoolers im with MC on this one about being confused if she liked him if she was always like that ya know? but now as adults honestly can’t even stick up for him anymore because shes clearly showing she wants him but idk maybe I would be confused also because shes constantly manipulating so far during all their interactions saying shes being honest but then playing off as a joke just confusing him.
Overall MCs cons for not wanting to live with her are all pretty much valid and how an adult would view the matter. The pros is literally his childhood crush. As for meho all her pleas make no since and have no logic besides using seduction and manipulation to make him stay lol not really adult like something someone in her job position should not even consider. Also find it weird she had 8 years of still being fully in love with him it seems while MC knew to cut of his childish dream crush and moved on but clearly she never did and yet 8 years and she never got involved only now when MY CUTE KANA IS TRYING TO MAKE A MOVE idk in a way I feel if she really loved him 8 years seems too long if she truly loved him that much like dam im disappointed in her xd
Where’s my kana man
now im slumped is the author actually saying all these coincidence are really just coincidences? like legit makes no sense and if it is true I feel hes pushing it too fast and making the story unrealistically unrealistic and pretty lame or boring? Like theres way better romance yandere novels but the romance in this is so forced or i feel like it is like honestly somehow the more I see of meho the more kana seems like the best option
bro she seems like a pro at seduction now ill seriously be mad if author doesn’t confirm my thoughts about her setting everything up just like rn he said no so she resorted to seduction which swayed him …
Yep shes 100% setting everything up if im wrong I blame the dam author because everything all seems connected to her and her having a restless reaction like she already had this planned rather then surprise of how much of coincidence it is which most people wanna been surprised and said wow that sucks but nope straight away “restless” reaction like she was prepared for him to bring it up
hmm honestly still believe kana is the best option. Realistically I wouldn’t ever dating someone 2 years younger but its not me so he can choose if he doesn’t mind.
wait no fking way that attack was real last chapter? Bro all I sense is my yandere meter going off the charts because everything can’t simply be coincidence especially with her being a high ranked police officer she actually has the power to set everything up. like she can find his personal info like noting so its just too sus to be real if it is real honestly author fked up
Please don’t tell me she set that up lol..
yes he “somehow” ends up with maho… bruh usually I like yanderes but for some reason i don’t like her 9 times out of 10 ill like the yandere no matter what but now hmm
huh im kinda hoping for the kana route so far. Maho had 8 years as a yandere im deeply disappointed in her yandere skills. Unless the reason she went finally met the MC was because he was getting along with a girl? Which made her stop stalking and finally make moves? then again idk seems shes not actually yandere so far
meh mc wasn’t at fault. best case scenario he tries to intervene and gets knocked out worst case scenario is he gets stabbed or maho also tries to intervene also and she also gets kiddnapped. Wisest decision woulda probably just call the cops or take a picture but can’t blame him he was 15 or 16 kid and maho is pretty creepy wanting to get closer with him when he clearly doesn’t want to. or nvm he was 18 I believe but still a situation most wouldn’t know what to do
hmm yeah I had a feeling it was his childhood friend who seemed to cause the fight between them. lol guess her having a good goal didn’t bring her any hippieness in the end lol and now shes lonely and lost?
Now I’m curious, what happened between them for it to be like this?
i think the previous chapter kinda explained it with her getting mad at him telling him “he has nothing” which broke the friendship.
No because the woman’s don’t give a shit if he has a girlfriend or not, if Maho doesn’t assert dominance, she’ll become a losing heroine as a girlfriend that was cheated on, far worse than normal losing heroines.
Press ” O “
Tbh, in these kind of stories, I’d mericilessly and shamelessly would have gone through it. And so what if you wanna watch? Show off!
They’re 26 dang it! Thus author really makes me throw a tsukkomi each time!
And he willingly let himself be bound by the webs of love she spins
She’s spinning the webs he doesn’t know it but it’s all around him and she’s only begun
Boy you whipped
No, you can’t call a childhood friend high spec if she gets harassed and kidnapped like your every day damsel in distress. I liked the romance aspect but I really can’t understand why bother giving her this “empowering” setting while still treating her as a your everyday heroine. It’d be much cooler if she actually beat up the criminals or if she saved Shinichi and he saved her in return. A partnership that then turns into something more meaningful… Instead we get a childhood friend who gets saved by MC mainly because of a series of coincidences.
Like, he could have written a setting where Shinichi was about to become superintendent himself and worked under Maho. So they would have conducted operations together while semi-flirting with each other on the way. A lot of boke-tsukkomi with the criminals would have been possible… Instead the whole superintendent thing was only there for Shinichi to have a somewhat inferiority complex and make him indecisive as heck…
Yeah, thought so too.
My Boss, A Clear And Perfect Beauty Who’s An Elite Police Bureaucrat, Turns Out To Be My Sweet And Doting Childhood Friend Who Loves Me Dearly At Home.
Later I Became the Boss and She My Wife.
At this point, just push him down and do it and then tell him that he can’t back out now. This is just annoying to watch, lmao.
Honestly, you can’t just make the heroine be some police superintendent but then treat her as a damsel in distress. Like seriously, most of this reads as your classic romcom and you don’t even think that these people are full-fledged adults. The whole police officer plot is just used for events like this. Oof.
Seriously… i thought the man harassing her close to MCs home at night was planned by her but now she gets kidnapped the source of the 2 sisters and MCs trauma? Legit thought she was a yandere this whole time with her sketchy timing always somehow aligning with his but seriously shes just a normal girl? not the cold faced superintended yandere I imagined?

I think this thing is out of order. They were already in the bath in the previous chapters
what. i think its right order. Chapter 45 they back to maho’s house, chapter 46 they at the sofa. and chapter 47 they bathing together. can you point me out the wrong one?
Bloody hells just get together already
What kind of love triangle shenanigans is this??????
Oh shoot this is like numerous dogs fighting over one bone
How much rizz did this guy have in the past.
Y’know, it doesn’t feel the same if you recall that these two are 26… oof.
Kinda makes sense both seem to have no relationship experience theres some 25 plus year old virgins like them somewhere all around the world
Hm…
Let’s cheer for the losing heroine. Got steal him Kouhai!
Team kana all the way man
If you consider it rationally Maho has more to lose if the date got seen by their peers/subordinates/superiors disregarding that shows how much her childhood friend means to her. She’s going all in on this bet
Huh truthfully she really wouldn’t lose much. Man in her position date woman with lower position all the time with little to no backlash. If anything it feels like she wants everyone to see them together. If anything I feel the blacklash would be more impactful on the MC rumor about him like hes not fit for her, she can do better, hes just so average he doesn’t deserve her, etc bunch of degrading shat because usually everyone seems to accept high ranking people like maho if she was average or ugly and she got a handsome man most people wouldn’t even mind because thats a pretty normal combination people seen happening for years with high ranking people.
Feels like author uses the fact that they work as cops for convennient plot progressions here and there and this is the main bit of the novel, can’t complain.
My guess is that they only start dating after her little sister makes her appearance and gives that guy some closure, because it feels like he’s still stuck in the past because of that incident.
I believe he did try to apologize but no one forgave him and just ignored him after maho blamed him even as he tried to apologize so he just gave up and blamed himself and at that point im surprised neither of the girls ever tried contacting after realizing he truly really didn’t do anything wrong which shoulda been like after a month honestly if they were really that close but nope they chose to ignore him for 8 years. Huh thats why im pretty disappointed in maho a simply call to his parents asking to past on a message woulda been the easiest way but nope
Where’s chapter 6?
ah, i skipped a number. sorry. the chapter itself is right but just mistyped the number. sorry lmao
Why does it feel like entire chapters are missing? At the end of chapter 13 she’s pouring him tea and the beginning of chapter 14 he’s in the bathroom with her. Did the author shuffle the chapters?
You got no choice in the matter detective, it’s her way or nothing not even a higheay
You’re supposed to be a detective for heaven’s sake, get a clue
yeah very unrealistic
Tbh, not the greatest fan of this one. It feels too much like a wish fulfillment. I mean, she’s a female cop bruh, she should have been able to defend herself but instead she was made to look like a damsel in distress so MC has his moment, which in my opinion, was unnecessary. The author could have written the same scene but just as the MC was about to safe her, she beats the living shit out of these dudes but she gets all bashful when she saw the MC try. Like, what’s the point of promoting this societal change of women getting promoted to higher positions when making them the damsel in distress right in the next chapter? I usually wouldn’t write comments like this but it felt so on the nose. I don’t mind the damsel in distress trope but it just felt so misplaced in this one. Reminds me of The Secret Agent Brought the Assassin to His House! but in that one it was justified because the guys who caught her were assassins as well. Maybe I’m the weird one for feeling this way, idk
huh honestly it just sounds like shes setting everything up rather then it being real. Somehow she shows up when a young girl kana has the hots for the MC then she specifically askes for him to drive her to the station knowing full well he was fine not getting involved with her. Then somehow he randomly runs into her being attacked close to his house?(Like cmon shes so sus and 100% after her sis got kidnapped she woulda trained no? Considering how hard working she is its simply impossible for her to not be prepared) and now we have somehow MCs roommate isn’t responding when he meets maho…? close to his house?
