The author does a fantastic job of using this setting to heighten the tension and intimacy between the characters. The rooftop scenes are beautifully illustrated, capturing the serenity and romance of their hidden world.
In addition to the central romance, the manga also explores themes of ambition, loyalty, and the consequences of forbidden love. The supporting cast of characters, including Hana's friends and colleagues, add depth to the story and provide a well-rounded view of the corporate environment. Their interactions and subplots enrich the narrative, making it more than just a simple love story.
The artwork in "A Secret Rooftop Affair with My Boss" is another highlight.
