Even though the title uses the word "shy" I actually consider consider Moshi to be introverted. Anyway this is a cute and wholesome yaoi manga about a man named Moshi. He lives with his boyfriend Gon and bakes treats for them to share He is the owner of a real estate agency and his secretary Kozue suggests marketing his company as LGBT-friendly, while not knowing that her boss is gay.
Kozue's behavior is at times icky, and I'm glad there is a panel in which Gon rants that the way Kozue talks about gay men, and LGBTQ+ people in general is problematic.
Also, as an introverted queer person I found myself relating to Moshi when he visits a gay bar with Gon and feels uncomfortable. Also found it hugely relatable that he does yoga.
The parts where they talk about calories bored me though, and that's why I'm not giving this five stars. Although I do really like that not all the men in this manga are conventionally attractive. I'm definitely gonna read the rest of this series.
