sister calling him out on the “you aren’t getting anywhere like this” was good (…though remains to be seen on if it will lead to anything)

on a side note - his match doesn’t care about his job and is willing to spilt the bill? She may be a keeper bro…

I find it exceedingly strange that after all that we have read so far, the MC just decides to forget it all, go back to Tokyo and start seeting totally new women for dating. It reduces the significance of the whole series so far to null, as if it didn't really matter to him at all. He just needed to spend some vacation time and decided to do it that way. Well, maybe that's a good personality trait for a journalist.

From what I remember, if he gives her one BB she'll answer one question about herself. I don't remember why, but there is some sort of personality form he is filling out.

No.

What we need here is a typical meme in the style of “what did I expect, what did I get and what is it really?” I don’t know what kind of manga this was originally intended to be, but now it reminds me of that seinen about various marginalized communities, where the female lead was also a mentor, by the way.

Aren't they small plastic bullets you fire from toy guns? I remember scavenging for them in my own youth.

Losing intrest in this. Story is hardly going anywhere. Do not care for any of these side characters.
To be fair, it's often this way with the mango with infrequent releases: by the time the new chapter is out, you just aren't as invested. (In my case, given the trouble I have remembering Japanese names, I also start confusing the characters).
But if you reread such stories all at once, the pacing feels completely different, and the problem goes away. Like, this whole trans sidestory has been going on for what, two chapters? If you were reading a completed volume, it'd take you fifteen minutes, not two months, to read these.
