"boo hoo, everyone's so mean to me"

proceeds to be needlessly mean/cruel to the first person he meets

Also unless we find out his isekai'd car is now a magic cheat car with infinite fuel he's going to be totally hosed when he runs out of gas.

MC at the beginning of the chapter: Whoa, I got sent to another world? In my car? Radical!

MC at the end of the chapter: My life was ruined because of the corporate culture in my home country. It must be sooooooo nice for you to know what you want to do because you’re young and athletic and have cat ears and a bunny tail. But they will break you in time, like they did me. Fuck you, now let me know where the next charging station is.

Did she have to be 16... Why is it so difficult to have adult aged characters in those stories dude... Instantly creepy because we all know what kind of tropes are gonna happen.
In Japan 16 is legal age for marriage.

Different cultures and all that.


That @Mangamoz idiot has no idea what they are talking about.

This is off to a good start. The guy clearly has trauma, and it's manifested decently instead of him just being all fine and dandy like "Oh, new world? New me, easy!". It ain't that simple, and this fella shows how someone in his state of mind would react. While Kyara may have a crappy job, she has confidence, and that is blinding towards someone who lacks it. It's also painfully obvious that he's gonna make up with her in some way next chapter, so I'm eagerly waiting to see how that unfolds.

The premise is silly though. Not as stupid as things like a smartphone (a working one) or a refrigerator, but this is still nonsensical. As with any tool, it's how the wielder uses it, but it's hard to imagine a car doing much outside of moving and storage.

Anyway I like isekai stories that have to do with vehicles. This has reminded me of the one with the woman who is granted a camper van? I should reread that.

It's actually 18, since a couple of years ago. Which is much better than 15 in some parts of the USA. Lmao. Some states in the USA don't even have a minimum age if both families consent.
Different cultures and all that.
Oh so Japan finally got rid of that law? About time

(Also I should inform you I don't live in US)

Honestly? Both are right in their own aspects, when you live in a society where jobs do actually matter and you either work and eat, or beg and die, you really can't complain, it's the same when people making decent money actually feel better when doing physical labour and earning less. In his case tho, corporate jobs in japan are absolute trash, it's not only the shite pay and overwork but also a ton of hierarchy bureaucracies that they have to deal with, from having to use a whole specific vocabulary, not having any of your work accomplishments credited to you, no leaves, not even being able to sometimes shedule your vacation in advance because others have to do it first. A lot of people from other countries that work with japanese salarymen actually report them as slower than the average worker because most of them never ask for help, communicate or take a rest. So no, you absolutely do not matter in japanese corporate, you either are a higher up or you're a workhorse expected to always do 110% then some more.
