bro evolved from love rival into wingman

 

[LordTartaros]

Shimizu is a real man.

 

[slackingaround]

Damn, what a gentleman, there should be more characters like him these days

 

[Flynx]

Damn what a good guy. I know that had to hurt.

That took courage and mental fortitude. Whoever told him that he is unworthy of love is full of shit.

 

[Flynx]

Now that's how an adult handles rejection. Good on him.

It is super refreshing to see adults exploring relationships and how to get into an intimate relationship.

 

[Ditte]

Speaking from experience ... What Konishikawa's thinking is pretty realistic. For someone who is logical but has weak emotion control, the moment you know you're wrong, you will take another approach drastically. Did A and everything was burning, let's do Z instead. You know that there's a series of alphabet before Z, but ANOTHER FAILURE is not an option. That's simply not logical. It's like a science experiment, if you know A is wrong, then don't let B that is still close to A as a factor in the equation. C, D is still close, ah fuck it, we'll take Z. Being strict is the one that led Konishikawa's downfall, so rather than lowering the strictness, he chose to erase it completely.

We might think that he should know that he's doing something wrong right now, but where's the consequence? His work is still going well, his relationship with others, co-workers and the chef alike, is still good. Clearly what he's doing is correct, because it brings results. Yes, he's suffering, but he'll just take it as an old wound, a burden he has to carry to be a reminder of the wrong he did in his marriage. And he'll carry it to make sure he won't forget, thus he won't repeat the same mistake.

That's how the "I do not have the right to love" come. He tried once, failed, made his ex-wife miserable. Why would he try again? This is somebody's life, you can't just ... taking another chance to love, to see if now you'll succeed. What if he hurt another person?

Adult doesn't mean mature, doesn't mean completely mature in all aspects. Konishikawa maybe an adult, a senior, but he still has rooms for maturing, especially about his own emotion. I hope the mangaka can do a good job portraying his grow... and also Misato!

Earlier chapters are just fun bit about liking your boss, and now we have heavy stories.... Not complaining though!

 

[Desertking1]

She is dumb asf.

 

[TNT261]

Huh. I never thought about it like that before. Makes sense to me in hindsight, though.

Pretty good advice tbh. In all endeavors (from work relationships to marriages) you need to communicate your stance clearly. After that, let your actions reinforce what you've stated. But we can't just do stuff and expect other people to pick up on how we feel. That just invites confusion and ultimately disappointment.

 

[upoyorso]

Knows he's going into a hopeless battle.
Gets mercilessly shot down. Yet still gives tactical advice (and ammunition) to the one who did the shooting. All while plummeting in flames to the ground.
Crashes.
Then crawls out of the the smouldering wreck and climbs back into another plane to form up as wingman for his rival.

This guy is a hero.

 

[So-chan]

Man, what a bro. Can we have a spin-off about the former rival guy? The main "couple" is getting really tiresome.

 

[KanzakiYuu]

Big ups for bro for actually confessing and handling the rejection like a champ.

 

[Banesephy]

Fk me, what a guy. A tale as old as time - a man shooting his shot knowing he'd be crushed anyway. Good on ya kid.
