That is until a talented and beautiful assistant is hired! Her name is Shiori, and she’s a gift from above—literally. While working late one night, her true identity is revealed and they’re instantly engaged!?

Tonikawa, Insomiacs after school, the dangers in my heart, Kubo-san, and now The Galaxy Next Door. Damn, spring 2023 is stacked with romance anime, and loneliness...
