Fame. Money. Love.
All of this, Joe had for eighteen years, of his life. Until a tragic accident happened before the peak of his football career. Which destroyed it in only a few seconds.
When everyone loved him, they left him alone, broken in a hospital bed.
Before he could come back, he lost the last members of his family. Then his former club comes with allegations, of a broken contract from his fault, and he lost all the earned money. He was left, with nothing.
For eight years, he lived from day to day studying, working, having rehabilitation for his injured knee.
As they say, what one time is taken, is given back. As he accidentally becomes secretary of Megan Clark by everyone called Empress.
His life changed drastically after it. He found love in his boss, who first say these words to him.
‘Secretary of the Empress’ is a story about love, which slowly grows in the main characters. Because of many things which they will meet in their journey of revenge and protecting each other.

While now great view on sky and city below show up, boss turned to me, and when she looked at my eyes, she said: “Joe, I have something to tell you.”
“Yes, boss,” I said while looking at her eyes, and when she walked closer to me, we looked at each other eyes. She said, “I like you.”
While hearing her words, I had no answer for this, and while I looked at her, I asked, “excuse me?”
“I love you, I want you to be my boyfriend,” she said, and while I looked at her, I couldn’t believe that this has happened, and while my mind still processed her words, she looked at me, and then she said, “so what is your answer?”

Story: 7/10
It revolves around missions and their completion, which keeps things straightforward. For what it aims to achieve, I found the storytelling to be decent overall. It's not groundbreaking or exceptionally brilliant, but it's far from terrible and easy to follow. I prefer simplicity and entertainment, and this story delivered just that for me.
Art: 7/10
The artwork was clear enough for me to fully grasp what was happening, and it offered some good fanservice. The main reason I picked up this manga was the cover and the characters' outfits. It has that early 2000s vibe and is quite clean—what's not to like?
Characters: 6/10
My main issue is the lack of character development beyond Lila. Honestly, they come off as rather bland. Lila is the sole reason the characters score above a 5, though she herself doesn't surpass a 6. That said, the characters are charming despite being flat. I enjoy Najica and her interactions, and I'm eager to see how she connects with others.
Enjoyment: 7/10
I had a good time reading it—it was solid. Will it become an obsession? Probably not, but I will definitely read the next volume. The action sequences were particularly enjoyable, showcasing how the female leads are both badass and stylish. It's also endearing to see Lila being herself, especially in her humorous moments where she occasionally goes overboard. The character designs are impressive too; I loved the attention to detail in the outfits and hairstyles.
Overall: 7/10
Since most of my ratings are 7/10, I'll stick with that. I recommend this manga if you're craving a spy-themed story with fun elements. If you're looking for a badass protagonist paired with a cute yet equally badass sidekick, this is worth checking out.
