I sorta agree that what the manager has said so far has made sense but the way she says it gives the impression that she isn't just looking out for Io's public image.
My strong suspicion is that she isn't suicidal, but is either planning to fake her own death, and, or this is some extremely elaborate excuse to support/get close to her favorite streamer.
I have literally no evidence for this but part of me wonders if Sera has been secretly sabotaging Sayuki's career so that she can keep her all to herself.
I'm really hoping Alice will be more of a stoic third wheel than a rival, but this series has been good enough so far that I probably enjoy it either way.
Have you considered that maybe you would find a forum more to your liking if you weren't in the comments of a sci-fi yuri manga with a strong focus on sexism and traditional gender rolls? lmao.
I've been really enjoying the pre serialization version so I'm really happy you decided to translate the serialized version. Thank you so much! :hearts:
