@cgr: She hasn't done anything to make me like her as a character this chapter, and it looks like she'll fall into the trope of the man-hating lesbian.
I don't mind yuri elements in shōnen manga, I just don't like the mangaka being lazy when they write them in.

Why do rom-com manga authors feel compelled to add man-hating, yuri-bait characters to their manga? You don't see yaoi/yuri manga authors try to add a straight woman/man who's primary role is to fawn over one half of the main couple while treating the other half like trash, all the while the author tries to pass off her/his interference as a "cute quirk with potential for heterosexual fanservice". If yaoi/yuri authors did use that kind of character, they would more than likely put that character in the role of an antagonist.

And if you're gonna add a lesbian in your manga, that's fine, just stop making them misandrists who want to steal the main girl away from the main guy. Lovely Complex had a transgender woman in it and despite her affections towards the main guy, she never hated the main girl, in fact they all became friends after her introduction arc.

@Ciello I think it's as she says, she knows how to order people around, she runs a tight ship, and obviously her ideas are great, given that it was massively popular and they sold out. I do think she's made to be a manager.

Every "rom-com" manga has to fall prey to this kind of bullshit at some point, huh? Dropped.

I see. I agree she's not very likeable yet, but i was just curious why the other two already hate her.

I agree that she might be revealed to be lesbian, and that can be annoying in a shounen rom-com like this.

I’d unironically work for her to get those photos... then sell ‘em to Lolicons for triple the price.

Well, the only reason people are disliking her is because she is the very definition of a souless manager.
She can't do her job, we have no idea how she got the job in the first place, she exploit her underlings, pay the very bad and makes them think it's a good deal and that they should be grateful to work under her, and many other things.

TL;DR: You hate her because she reminds you of your boss.
You probably hit the nail on the head with those guys LOL.

I dont see how she comes off as a "man hating lesbian" or how she is even hateable unless you hate someone like this for using you irl LOL.

The most annoying trope was already done last character with the violent for no reason girl character.
