Shachou to Sake to Hoshi - Vol. 8 Ch. 55 - The Boss and a Difference of Interpretation

[Eliminateur]

I am beyond spoiled by the recent mangas that actually had the romance move.

pray good sire provideth a list for thine mortal comrades

 

[Xaniel]

He chickened out... Thankfully Kurokawa is there to rescue the ship

 

[Rafalga]

Fucking indoor shippers are the worst.

The chunky foodie office coworker is low key my fave. Homegirl just knows what shes about.

 

[Rafalga]

Normally, I hate it when they back out of confessions like that, but this time, I don't mind as much because it does make a modicum of sense. They're not easily-embarrassed hormonal teenagers (even if they do act like it from time to time), but fully grown adults with their own careers.

She also happens to be his boss; dating in the workplace is bad enough (if they can't keep their work life and love life separate), but dating a superior/subordinate opens up a whole other can of worms.

Forget about superior/subordinate thing. She is supposed to be deeply in love with a DIFFERENT man (as far as she is concerned) was super down to fucking him just recently so manga shouldn't even have this conversation in the first place. She has completely forgotten about Izumi at this point (along with author)

 

[DanCulturedMan]

Kurokawa best girl as usual. I don't like that the author is ignoring the original plot but I got more Kurokawa so I'm happy for now

 

[BanzaiYuri]

Fumbled even worse... Editor wants another million-dollar vacation?

 

[grumbles]

Nice to know there's a kinky lesbian enjoying this.

lesbian?...no...

 

[PJSmooth]

Our comrade Kurokawa is motivated like Vergil.

 

[log082]

Kurokawa is the best.

I feel like the author just abandoned all the Izumi/Ishizumi duality by making her like Izumi first, but then completely ignore him and focus on liking Ishizumi. She felt almost like she was cheating, but now doesn't really think about it?

Sure, we know they are both the same person, but she doesn't, and it feels the author realized he can't have it both ways but is not solving it either.

It feels weird having her react to Ishizumi when 5 chapter ago she was asking almost the same of "another man".

It's the single line love triangle

lol, it feels like only a handful of us cares/remembers this fact. Every time I see her get close to Ishizumi, I call her a two timing hussy in my head. She's "dating" Izumi and have numerous time under her drunktardness, tried to kiss him and sleep with him out of love for him. Even reassured him that she didn't cheat on him when Her and Ishizumi went on a business trip alone. We know they're the same person but she doesn't, it's kinda weird.

Yes she is pretty much like 2 steps away from officially juggling two guys at the same time at this point. She is almost there emotionally.

They throw us a character design this good, and it's just for a background? She looks like a Dragon Ball Z villain! No way the Ramen Mommy doesn't make another appearance.

A character with this much specific design does not feel like its just a throwaway. I read a few other of the Mangaka's works and don't recall a match but can't wonder if the Raman chefs are shoutouts to characters in another of his.

I think it's more trying to play up that she knows on a subconscious level that they're the same guy, which is something that has been teased in previous chapters. Or the author just decided progress needs to be made even it messes with a few narrative points

 

[Kaito57]

And now, we wait for the spicy spinoff webcomic where she's the main character...

 

[Valle_reading_manga]

Noo, the brainwashing is working


Can't wait for her to tell all of this to I(shi)zumi
