BL vibes?

Thanks for picking this up, can't go wrong with cooking/foodie slice of life series

His design isn't bad but interesting the host also has glasses, would expect other than them 'matching' to also have opposite aesthetics. Tho 'tired office worker/corporate slave' cosplay as a host persona would be amusing

That sleep schedule is a horror, why are they sleeping only 3 hours 😭

The office worker I understand but I’d imagine the host would have more of a flexible schedule if not a night shift only, I wonder what kinda group you’d see going to a host club first thing in the morning (unless the #1 host has more responsibility)

Aaah, that was a pretty pleasant read. Thank you for picking this up!

11 pm and the train is still crowded? Is that really how it is in Japan?


Personally, I don't think the host only slept for three hours. There is a four-hour difference after he arrived home, maybe he slept in between those instead. They should have specified the time when they "started sleeping" to make it clearer.

I guess it depends on how busy the city is/where you live but i imagine there'd be ppl with various lifestyles to where trains would run pretty late, if it was a 'middle of nowhere' sticks/boonies/countryside, i wouldn't expect the same thing (tho it makes sense if there are other 'corporate slaves'/office workers in 'black companies' that do over time everyday for months)

but yeah the host does seem like he'd be 'better rested' as opposed to like having some 'gloomy introvert' mode once he gets home and switches his outward 'persona' or so or is jaded and can just 'turn it on' for the customers/when needed

Finally this is picked up! Thanks for picking this up, another SoL manga is always welcome

\Well they do call NY 'the city that never sleeps' but idk how much association that'd have with JP, but even with 'midnight' trains i imagine minors would prolly get in trouble for riding too late or so unless they're specifically traveling to like a relatives house (but prolly still scolded for not leaving early), but otherwise i'd expect if ppl wanna avoid crowds they'd take a taxi assuming there'd still be a service that late at night

Finally, some good fujobait

Where in Japan are they that a breakfast set is only 450 yen???

Japan's overwork culture is fairly well-known. I doubt a salaryman who routinely works late overtime is going to be using taxis on a daily basis.
