What a great chance to have found and read this one.
It's not often that I've been able to reads books which have older protagonist as the lead that was as lighthearted and endearing as this one was.
Ichinoi, a 75 year old widow ends up buying a BL (boy love) manga one day without realizing what it was but she ends up going back to the store for the next volume leading her to start talking to high schooler Urara, who works there.

Volume one is off to a great start as I got a clear image of the characters, the world building, and the tone thanks to the art styling as well as the story so far. I'm going to have to check if my library has the next volume as at the end of this volume, Urara has invited Ichinoi to a convention to meet their favorite BL author (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
