Yuseong, a genius doctor who made a name for himself in the medical community, considered the operating room his home. One day, he died in a traffic accident, and when he regained consciousness, he found himself in another world.
But... Saint... Holy Kingdom... Healing magic?
"I worked so hard to learn medicine, and now you're telling me I can just touch someone and they're healed? Oh, I'm going to lose my mind."



there is sexual content with lolis and raape-simil scenes (similar to against the gods) so, be warned.
what's good is that the 'game' is clearly not a 'game' since the start (you know.. similar to cultivation online and re:evolution. i like this much more that 'game/rl' novels)
but it's used for mc plot progress rather than sincronizing both sides soul/abilities even if it happens and there is many quests for my taste in this since it's not purely a virtual game
Of course, she can't help but fall for his charms after learning to cope with his initially terrible boss demeanor. Naturally, they end up together, and he discovers that beneath her tight bun and glasses lies a charming young woman.
What I appreciate about this series is how much of her secretary work resonates with me. I've been working as a secretary for many years, though not as a 'real' secretary like her. She reminds me of my younger self because I always wanted to be acknowledged for my abilities rather than my appearance. However, I never deliberately made myself look worse by dressing in an overly conservative manner.
I enjoy watching her manage her manager's office life—it feels authentic. It amuses me because so much of it feels familiar.
What I didn't care for in the manga was the excessive blushing whenever the manager kisses her or during intimate moments. She embodies the stereotypical shy, obedient Japanese girl—lacking initiative unless she's handling office tasks.
Overall, I really enjoyed this manga. The romance was sweet, and the depiction of office work was accurate.
I didn’t particularly enjoy the romance once Kaya realized she loved Kyohei. While romance is the main theme of the story, it seemed more like a physical attraction than anything deeper, which I personally dislike. Given Kyohei's vampire traits, perhaps it was intended to be that way. Still, considering how responsible Kaya is, I had hoped she would make a wiser choice. Then again, love can be hard to control once it takes hold.
As usual, Tomu Ohmi's artwork is stunning. I adore how the mangaka portrays female body structures, lush hair, and eyes that sparkle and seem to gaze into the distance. The male characters tend to appear a bit too perfect to me, with their perfectly slanted eyes and broad shoulders. Nevertheless, I always prefer her depictions of women. Regardless, I often found myself lingering on her art longer than necessary just to admire the intricate details.
At first glance, Kaya appears to be a no-nonsense lady, always sporting a tight bun and glasses. In reality, she doesn’t need prescription glasses and prefers her hair down—it’s just her way of projecting responsibility. Beneath her professional demeanor lies a cute baby face that she fears won’t be taken seriously. Once I discovered how beautiful she is without the formal attire, I wanted to see her natural side more often. This little quirk about her made her feel original and unique.
Initially, I appreciated Kaya's professionalism, but when she suddenly fell for Kyohei, my opinion of her wavered. She does mature while being in love with him, though. She takes her role as a secretary very seriously and uses it as a platform to assert herself, stand her ground, and voice her opinions. In that sense, she’s a strong protagonist. Of course, her sole vulnerability remains Kyohei.
I don’t find anything particularly remarkable about Kyohei. Yes, he’s handsome, wealthy, and holds significant power in both business and politics, but these traits are common among romantic leads in josei. He’s also an arrogant playboy—surprise, surprise.
Despite this, I reluctantly admit that he undergoes character development throughout the manga. Around Kaya, he behaves differently and eventually realizes she’s the only woman for him. (Another cliché: some uptight girl taming a Don Juan.) His pride remains unchanged, but his perspective on life as a vampire shifts now that she’s part of it.
Even though I had certain expectations, I did enjoy reading Midnight Secretary. Some parts were amusing, like when Kyohei’s actions irritated Kaya. It was also intriguing to read about office work. While I know secretaries handle paperwork and phone calls, Kaya elevates the role significantly. To be honest, I wasn’t entirely thrilled with the vampire aspect, but it was acceptable. Overall, it was decent—not bad at all.
