The Sly Subordinate Waits for the Night 腹黒部下は夜を待つ is a 12-episode Japanese vertical BL series that dropped on February 10, 2026 on FANY :D.
Department head Takatsu Seiji (40) works overtime every day. His subordinates fear him as a strict boss, but that’s just a facade he puts on to live up to those around him. In reality, he’s a kind, timid, and weak-willed boss!
Meanwhile, his subordinate Soma Riku (28) appears to be a refreshingly good-looking young man, but in reality he’s a devious schemer! As the two share limit meals (genkai meshi) made with leftover ingredients, will they ever develop a special relationship that goes beyond work?
“It’s cute how you try so hard to be a strict department head.”
“You’re such a different persona than you are during the day!”
Late-night in the office, their true identities are revealed. As they share limit meals together, the distance between boss and subordinate slowly closes.
A superb late-night romantic comedy where office, food, and love intertwine!
