Winner of the Ridibooks 2019 BL Awards! Available unabridged and uncensored for the first time in English.
They say all's fair in love... and work?!
After joining his friend's startup, university student Ahn Yiyoung never imagined he'd end up presenting their work directly to SJ Corporation, a major company headed by one of the most sought-after talents in the country: Kang Daehyung. It certainly doesn't help that, on top of being a bigshot executive, strikingly handsome Director Kang is his ideal type!
When his presentation fails to go as planned, Yiyoung's desire to impress Director Kang leads him to take desperate measures... and lands him in a whole new mess, tangled up between his personal and professional relationships. How far is Yiyoung willing to go to achieve success in both his love life and his career?

On or Off is one of the first manhwa to be released in English out of a webtoon platform. The story is quite "ordinary", meaning there are no omegaverse, no vampire, no dragons... it's a pure and simple office romance, but in its simplicity it's quite entertaining. If you like office romance, and I do, this is quite a good example. It's actually a story that could be very well adapted to live action, something I would like to see. Speaking of the visual side of the story, the graphic is a little raw, but again I liked it, especially the profile of Kang Daehyung, those imposing nose makes him so sexy that I could understand why Yiyoung fell in love at first sight.
