Synopsis
Yuzu, a corporate warrior at a megabank, is drowning in stress from her job and a conniving female boss. Desperate for an outlet, she impulsively searches online for a submissive man to verbally dominate. She finds an M-type guy with a simple profile and starts “training” him over phone calls for six months. His pathetic, whimpering voice and adorable attitude gradually captivate her, and one drunken night, she calls him to meet in person.
Expecting a plain salaryman like herself, Yuzu is shocked when a towering 190cm muscular, devastatingly handsome “big dog” shows up at her door—a far cry from his timid phone persona.
“I want Master to think of me as her prized pet…”
Now completely smitten with her devoted puppy, Yuzu mistakes him for a dangerous guy after overhearing him discuss shady business. She flees in terror. But everywhere she goes, the lovesick dog appears, and even her awful boss has caught his attention.
An exhausted 30-something woman finds herself utterly captivated and adored by a ferocious-looking, muscular fighter who becomes her most obedient companion.

Editorial Review
[Riley’s Pick]
This contemporary romance explores an intriguing power dynamic that flips traditional genre expectations. The story centers on a domination relationship conducted primarily through phone calls, which creates an interesting framework for building intimacy between characters who must rely on dialogue and emotional connection rather than constant physical presence.
What makes this work stand out is its commitment to character development beyond the surface-level premise. The tsundere protagonist adds genuine complexity to what could otherwise be a straightforward power exchange narrative. As the story progresses and the “cute puppy face” of the submissive office worker begins to affect the dominant character, the emotional stakes deepen considerably. This shift from pure domination fantasy to genuine romantic entanglement gives the work real narrative weight and emotional resonance.
The phone call format is cleverly utilized to explore vulnerability and intimacy in ways that feel fresh within the genre. Rather than relying solely on explicit content, the work builds tension and connection through dialogue, which rewards readers invested in how these characters actually relate to each other. The tsundere’s internal conflict between maintaining control and developing genuine feelings provides the emotional core that drives the narrative forward.
This is an excellent choice for readers who appreciate romance with substance, where the explicit elements serve a deeper emotional story rather than existing in isolation. Check it out on Henhenta if you’re looking for a contemporary romance that takes its character development seriously.
