      LN Volume 1

      Alternate titles: With a Pay of 300,000 Yen Per Month, I Was Hired to Do the Fun Job of Saying, "Welcome Back," to the Onee-san Next Door Who Has No Use for a Monthly Salary of 500,000 Yen, Tsuki 50 Man Moratte mo Ikigai no Nai Tonari no Onēsan ni 30 Man de Yatowa Rete `Okaeri. Kyō mo Ganbatta ne’ tte Iu Oshigoto ga Totemo Tanoshī, 月50万もらっても生き甲斐のない隣のお姉さんに30万で雇われて「おかえり」って言うお仕事が楽しい
      Author: Kiwadoi Shouri
      Artist: Asahina Hikage
      Publisher: Overlap (both LN and manga)
      Volumes: 3 (last one released October 2021)
      Manga: Yes (also published by Overlap, 4 volumes and counting)

      Synopsis: Matsutomo is a salaryman at a black company who's being overworked to death by a chief who's a pro at dumping all his work on him. What's more, no one seems to remember his name and they all call him Matsumoto.

      One night, coming home late once more, he runs into his beautiful yet distant neighbor, Saotome-san. It seems that she had left her phone, wallet, and the apartment key in her bag at a supplier's place 3 hours away. And in the apartment she can no longer get into, she has some important documents that she must have for tomorrow's meeting! Ever a gentleman, Matsutomo helps her out, saving her from the predicament, and moved, she makes him an offer he never gets a chance to refuse.

      Thoughts: I was looking through Overlap to see what other series JNC could license from them, and this seemed like it could work. The premise, as you can see above, is simple: a working woman hires her neighbor to basically be a househusband for her and welcome her home every night. It's not as much of a romcom as you think, as later on the story delves into the obvious question: what trouble does a financially successful woman have when she needs to hire a man half her salary just to keep her company?

        I.e., it's already been suggested.

          Hello,

          As stated and linked above this title currently has an already established suggestion topic, please consider showing your support for the series in that topic.

          As this topic is a duplicate, I will be locking it down.

          Thank you
