Maekawa is awesome, but I need some clarity on this age gap before I can root for the side couple. I ain’t cheering on a 16 year old going after a grown ass man.

Initially I thought maekawa was college aged but she called FL her senpai, so is she a high schooler?

And how old exactly is the manager? It’s unclear. The writing and art makes it seem like he’s a full grown adult in his 20s. But for the sake of romance I really hope he’s 18 or 19.

In Japan, the senpai-kouhai relationship also exists in the workplace. It's based on seniority in the company, not age. So, Maekawa calling her "senpai" only means that Sa-chan has worked there longer.

Though I don't recall the context of every time she's said it, it's worth remembering that the senpai-kouhai relationship is also a thing in the workplace.
Oh, ohhhh this makes more sense. Yeah, Maekawa always came off as older (than Sa-Chan) anyway, I'm just so used to senpai in a school context.

In that case, rock on girl. Go get your man.

Thank you for all your hard work translator-san. When you do update all the chapters, please tell us.

Side couple is about to overtake the leads...
ngl i kinda don't care about the side couple. The story's cute but it's kinda weird how they confessed and gave each other like "love" choco and still aren't dating lol
I find it kind of annoying that the author is focusing so much on side couples and not having the main couple properly progress.

you say she should wait (i.e. waste) at least 4 years of her life before she can start dating the man she loves?

This manga is on the "weak" side, so that when main couple finally starts dating, everyone will lose interest in series

I was wrong about her age so it likely doesn’t matter.

But if she were 16, and he was in his 20s, then YES she should wait or look for someone else that’s closer to her age. And he shouldn’t be entertaining it.

ig that's the problem when trying to develop 2 couples at the same time. One has to be sidelined at some point. My problem being that I simply do not give a fuck to the side couple at all

I’m the defense of the manager, it’s a adult and a teenager, better not have a relationship until adulthood
