Are we really going to have a fucking "Were you trying to sex up your editor (my friend) on the floor in the middle of a restaurant" misunderstanding arc? Why would she be surprised to see them together at all? She knows the editor. She fucking referenced her for the job!
On that note, why the fuck is the MC so adamant about not liking his assistant? It's been pretty goddamn obvious.
Reading manga is so tiresome sometimes. Why do so many manga rely so heavily on the same tropes and the same plot points?
Don't consumers in Japan ever get tired of this shit? Or is BigManga in leagues to squash original thought? I mean, I know Japanese culture is all 'the nail that sticks out gets the hammer' bullshit, but these are creatives. You'd feel like there'd be a little more creativity across the bunch. I feel like 85% of romcoms I read are the same fucking storyboards just with different characters and premises. My fault for being addicted to this crap, I guess.

Awkward might be a little bit of an understatement lol. Wish the next chapter was already out, I really want to see how this plays out.

Kids get teased about who they like and they don't like that. Even adults tease them. Every been asked "Is she your girlfriend" in a teasing voice? So they feel uncomfortable sharing their real feelings and emotions. That's what the editor was doing by the way. Teasing him.

And here i'm waiting for a decent MC, maybe someday... I don't really care if he is low self esteem loner as long as he has some backbone.

Its more normal for the MC to not want to ruin his professional life with drama than it is for the editor to be a going on and on like that. The editors the weird one here constantly prying and mentioning it over and over and over.

This better be misunderstand bait though and not actually a misunderstanding because I agree that would be sooo stupid.

I highly doubt it's going to be a misunderstanding thing, given she literally says that she knows he's not interested in her, while she's right behind them. Chill, mate. Lmao

High schoolers aren't the most socially adjusted people, and they don't want feelings pushed on them. I'm this case, I'm sure MC really does want to keep it professional.

Also, yes they do get tired. But new teens grow up and discover new stuff. We're the edge cases on the internet complaining about tropes.

I think it's more the editor said he only had eyes for his assistant

I definitely wouldn't trust the Editor with how much she was teasing Mie. Mie is trying to keep things professional, and while he does find Tomimatsu attractive, he doesn't want to pursue her, at least not yet.

Bad luck for Mie though, a robotic served bumped into him, causing he and the manager to land in an awkward situation. And now Aina and Tomomatsu have heard from Miss Editor that he likes Tomimatsu.

Oh man, Miss Editor really used the power of Romcom Invoking to get to this situation!
