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
A power-reversal romance anchored in contemporary stress relief, this title carves out real estate in the expanding subgenre of dominant-female narratives where emotional surrender matters more than physical dominance. Unlike the typical office-romance template, the work inverts the power dynamic from its opening act: Yuzu weaponizes verbal domination not as foreplay but as genuine therapeutic outlet against workplace exhaustion and interpersonal powerlessness. The six-month phone-call setup is deliberately paced, allowing the domination dynamic to build credibility before the genre’s central twist lands.
What distinguishes this work is the acute tension between fantasy and reality. The submissive-male tag becomes a narrative joke when the M-type guy materializes as a 190cm muscular specimen—the doujin explicitly plays with reader expectations by casting him as a “puppy” despite his physical presence. This contrast between verbal submission and physical dominance creates immediate comedic friction and gives the relationship genuine stakes. The tsundere Yuzu isn’t a standard tsundere archetype but a specific 30-something corporate burnout whose emotional guard makes her “utterly captivated” arc feel earned rather than sudden. The added complication—her mistaking him for a criminal due to overheard conversation—sustains narrative momentum beyond the initial power-swap hook.
The contemporary office-worker setting grounds the fantasy in recognizable exhaustion, making the domination-for-stress-relief premise feel psychologically plausible rather than indulgent. The presence of a “shady business” subplot suggests the work juggles multiple character arcs rather than narrowing to pure romance.
Readers craving dominant-female narratives with genuine romantic payoff and a protagonist whose power fantasy stems from real workplace trauma will find strong material here. The combination of submissive-male and handsome-male tags—rarely executed with this much character definition—makes this worth exploring if vulnerability wrapped in comedic tension appeals to you.
