Calm down, people. It ain't that kind of story. Just enjoy the light drama (it's in the title, after all!) and remember who is on the volume covers...



Next chapter in around 10 days.

That and the author's other work, "Can You Keep a Secret?", isn't like that either. Would be surprised if they did something like that with this one.

Highly recommend that one for those who clicked this and aren't already reading it!

Well, now that I saw raws (up to ch.25), I'm not so sure I want to dig into this story deeper. I mean, I'm not worried about destination, but I feel like the road will be "to bumpy" for my taste. I'll probably grab it once it'll be done, just to gulp it down in one sitting and not to worry about "what will happened next". Thanks for your TL, see ya in few years probably 😅

If only you have read chapter 26, that's where the pay-off is...

I mean, there's more "drama" on this one and not as much SoL as "I Have a Crush At Work" (that's the official title in English), but all the drama is for fun, or better yet, for making fun of common TV tropes, etc.

One thing I can say is that Enomoto continues to write adult characters very well.

Man... I'm already way over my yearly budget for manga related shit and I still have some tomes I want to buy... Don't make me sink into deep, dark depths of sketchy, piracy raw aggregator websites ;-; I was finally off that path ;-; Or so I thought...

Nah, just wait, then. We will get there eventually. I read it on Comic Days weekly, but yeah, buying stuff quickly mounts up.

Is it making fun of common TV tropes? Feels more like this is embracing them and trying to make them more enjoyable/tolerable? The drama is handled infinitely better than the sadly established formula that is used by 99% of writers but it still is a long way from satire or anything of the sort it feels like

Also, nice disclaimer for peeps that are allergic to drama but the common TV tropes still happen to some extent and she is a hypocrite and rather irritating quite a bit through ch 18-25 until the "payoff". 7 chapters in this type of manga and story is not a little.

Btw I love this manga and their other works :p You are 100% right tho, this is a manga about drama! And we eating good with this one

Making fun on the sense that it takes these common tropes and "subvert" them, allowing them to reach outcomes which are generally the opposite that would be expected. Yes, it is on itself a homage to these kind of stories, whilst still an original and unique story between Ban and Yuuki.

Well, can’t say I didn’t see this coming. But then agan, there was always going to be drama when an ex returns.

Now from what I can see in Ban’s behavior, she’s just glad that the ex is still the same person so she’s relieved. Didn’t see any sort of reaction that would make one think she still has lingering feelings or anything of that sort.

That being said, Yuuki’s reaction was 100% valid and I won’t hear otherwise. Imagine seeing the ex of your current love return. Then she cancels a date with you and then you spot them together, having a fun time. Any normal person, regardless of age here would feel insecure. Yuuki’s even thinking she has more fun with the ex than she has with him but that obviously isnt the case. He’s just blindsided by jealousy and insecurity which are stomping at him in full force in this moment but I guess this will create a chance for him to grow as a person. Bro is only human and whatever he’s feeling is natural since he loves Ban. Good chapter.

For as much as people have been dooming and glooming and bitching and moaning, I am shocked at how understandable a situation in both Ban and Yuuki's perspective. I knew this already, but listening to you dumb bitches makes me glad the ones who said they're dropping this are dropping this.

She didn't cancel their date - Yuuki was stuck doing overtime and cancelled, with her saying it was fine since she had other plans. Still, of course he would be bummed by it.

Yeah, now you see why I was so annoyed by the comments in previous chapters...
