As some have said, I wonder when the charade will be over (and hope that fade out will lead to her at least start connecting the dots) cause at this point, c'mon now.

But like the majority, I agree this was a well-written mini-arc. Didn't feel overly dramatic despite very real stakes at hand, we got to see Reina interact with another character (semi)-professionally, Ishizumi showed her support without feeling like a white knight and we still got Drunk Reina but it wasn't the usual exaggerated stuff and we got a tender moment between her and "Izumi".

In short, to Zurikishi:

The longer this 'not recognizing' him goes on the harder it's getting to suspend my disbelief. Like calling him over right after dinner and not realizing is crazy, blackout drunk or not. I hope author makes it more interesting if they're going to keep this plot point going.
Honestly, I hope they just change the shift and she realize soon or he decided to tell her. It's totally doable without ending the story

Does she see his face at the end there? That shot seems to be from her perspective of his full face

im guessing she saw his face, but doesn't register that was ishizumi's face because yknow black out drunk
because that's a warm face im guessing ishizumi ain't gonna be making that face in a while since he's usually so cold but once he does when she's sober, she's gonna recognize it and things are gonna happen
i just read the title of the chapter, this is definitely the case. "boss and the sleeping face" despite there being no mention in dialog and only one page where this concept in emphasized. something def gonna happen soon.

Maaaan let's be honest guys, maybe I'm in the wrong here but I hope the author stops with this stupid excuse. Thx for the chapter

Ah, the mirror-flip of the baby guy from Yakuza


As sweet as the drunk Reina, Izumi dynamic is I wonder how long the mangaka intends to drag that out. I love this manga premise but at a certain point I would like to see Reina realize who Ishizumi really is and the inevitable antics, sober and drunk that will spawn.
Hi, there. I can see this is your first time reading manga. Welcome.
That "certain point" is called "the final chapter".

Ummm… am I reading too much into things? Reina konked out in her dress, but woke up in lingeries? :smug:

Well, she says she "fooled around" with him. Unless the translator is taking liberties or doesn't know that phrase can be used as a euphimisim for doing lewd things than some hanky panky probably did happen.
Which probably boiled down to her drunk ass trying to seduce him, while he tried and succeeded to get her to sleep.

It's fantastic how she has the stereotypical "can't remember shit" hangover

She wanted to be treated as an adult but actually regressed to childhood. I get that.

Thanks for the chapter.
