Hope You're Happy, Lemon - Ch. 73

Meh. For a while it looked like we were going somewhere, maybe even finishing, but now it's back to the will they-won't they nonsense.

"That probably means he doesn't mind working at the same place as me..."

Her wording seem deliberately ambiguous. It could mean he is working at the same place with her, or that he is working at the same place as her, when he has swapped bodies with her.

I am also glad that those self-entitled part-timer kids are gone on their own. Their lack of responsibility and lying during the interview should have put them on the fast track to being fired a long time ago.

The speech bubbles are so fun. And here's my weekly comment about my admiration of Lemon
I love her she so real :"""(

Also it's always bakeries huh

Raika having to be the reasonable one (or trying to) is always nice.

 

[ale_city]

This chapter was a nice change, I am guessing Raika arc then? wanted Natsumi arc but won't complain, feel like the author really will take their time, just hoping at least Natsumi gets involved.

 

[5hijima]

Raika is kinda being homo NGL..

This is secondhand information (I've never worked for compensation in Japan before) so take it with a grain of salt, but I've heard that firings are extremely rare in Japan. That it needs considerable cause and poor workers are expected to 'kuukiyomu' and quit on their own for the benefit of the employer.

I feel bad for Kogahara. It's like she's got no role anymore since Lemon is just so nice and perfect there's no chance of confrontation or friction to build between them over Sunao. Kogahara is just going to silently bow out as she appears less and less.

 

[Saybah]

I assume Raika will be observant and noticed Lemon and Sunao being kind awkward towards each other, which all lead down to her finding out about their ex relationship and that Lemon has feelings towards Sunao.

 

[3turtlesinacoat]

I do quite like raika, so far she has been incredibly resonable(aside from everything her weird idol worship of lemon causes), helpful and seemingly well adjusted. I am as sad as the next person that we are apparently onto another arc where kohagara is sidelined but who knows, maybe shell get a cameo in someones flashback at some point! (I think its abundantly clear shes not winning anymore lol)

 

[moralsupport]

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel like we are about to go a few steps backwards.

 

[Homuranagi]

Now ain't that convenient, just two slots open for our new hires here. Gonna accuse the writer for being blatant with this but then I remember that some god out there is playing cupid for these two in the first place so whatever plot contrivance that's happening is deliberate.

 

[fight2live]

i can kinda relate to the manager lady at the bakery. had a few of those kind of people at my job lately

 

[justformangatoo]

Kinda forgot that Raika exist since it been a while since her appearance lul

 

[Firemorfox]

chapter 72: publisher threatening to axe the series
chapter 73: author realizing they can milk the series for 200 more chapters and publisher walks back the threat

 

[Firemorfox]

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel like we are about to go a few steps backwards.

at this point i feel like even Kogahara and Lemon falling in love with each other and Sunao breaking up completely,
WOULD BE LESS MESSY THAN WHATEVER THIS IS sigh

It seems to me that Natsumi is just there as a plot complication. She gives Sunao another love interest that Lemon has to overcome, gives Lemon a friend who she doesn't want to hurt (paralyzing Lemon from trying to get closer to Sunao), and adding a swap-day complication as Lemon's roommate (now removed because she knows about it).

IMO, she was ALWAYS destine to be a Losing Heroine.

The issue is there's been like 7 chances for Lemon to move on, go back, mess up, OR fix the relationship with Sunao.
It's only dragged on this long solely from the author's purposeful design.
