Thanks for the translation.
As for the manga.....still gross, bruh

I like that the guy voices his feelings, and doesn't just try to push his unease down. Though I do wonder why he got nervous when his coworker appeared. As always, it'll be interesting to see where this story goes

My man, just be with the cutie with braids and glasses who isn't literally a whore.

In these types of manga, the girl always ends up betraying the guy's trust. It would be interesting to read one where she never betrays his trust and the drama is all from his own internal conflict....... and hopefully deciding he would rather be with the cutie with braids and glasses.

Edit: after reading ch.3 on their website, I still don't like the main girl, but her feelings are just as interesting to focus on

Reading chapter 3, I think I see what you mean. It's not exactly hypocritical of her in the moment with what we've been given, but if she starts feeling uneasy or suspicious about MC being around his coworker who is pretty clearly upset that he has a girlfriend, while she asks that MC trust her with what she does, I can see that being both an interesting character flaw, and a rather annoying & detrimental facet to her within the narrative - especially if she ends up jealous and accusatory of him, while he's trying to be respectful and at least not express his worries aloud about her.

Regarding chapter 2 - I already don't really buy her line to him about not having sex with clients. She states "it's against the rules of the venue", but she immediately broke the rules for him.

You can say "well sure, MC's her boyfriend, so he'll get special treatment", but there's also the angle that, she's 100% demonstrated that she will cross the line and break that rule, rather than holding fast to it regardless of who she's with. Someone offers her enough incentive or draws her interest in just such a way, and there's no reason that she wouldn't do it again for someone else.
It's one of those "you either hold the line for everyone no matter what, or you give in once and suddenly it's easier to do it again next time". Not saying she would or will, but she's demonstrated that she's capable.

It's an interesting story, and I do wonder where it will lead (looks like it completed July of this year with some 31 chapters (4 volumes) - but I also don't expect him to end up with her come the conclusion. I do think I expect him to grow as a person out the other end, and also that both of them will cheat on the other with someone.
As a study of people in "unusual" relationships, I think there's something of value to tell here. But I feel like it's one of those stories where for some, it'll be better read clinically with detachment and as a study, of sorts, rather than trying to identify or really get immersed in the characters and the plot, given the relative controversial nature of what's at play.

On the flipside as the boyfriend you would expect some kind of special treatment, and it might feel worse if she treats you like any other client. So she's kind of damned either way.

After skimming through the raws, I’d say the story is okay, nothing particularly special. As for the FMC, she has a good but cliché reason why she does such work.

I guess I am thinking from the MC's perspective - from what I can gather, he doesn't seem like the sort, as he also protested at first.

The argument in general holds water, but depends on the temperament and demeanor of the partner in question. Maybe this isn't her first rodeo, and past partners have pushed her, so she defaults to this.

But, it's a lot of supposition on my part, and ultimately you're correct - it would appear difficult for her no matter what she did, in trying to maintain a relationship while in her line of work.

It would require trust and confidence on the parts of both, which makes what I referenced before for next chapter, an interesting angle in my mind.
