Boy should have kissed her when she was in his lap. Guess it would have made things serious between them, but they need to release that they need each other :meguuusad:
Thanks for the traduction as always :thumbsup:
I feel like the premise of this manga is that relationships are a hassle, and the two characters agreed that they want a casual relationship. Kissing her would probably just make her ghost him..

Honestly, I doubt she would ghost him considering she put in effort to see him (as seen by her glancing at her makeup on the counter), but she may not be completely happy about it with whatever circumstances she is dealing with that she hasn't talked about just yet. She still loves him and she still loves her, but they both need to overcome their individual circumstances before they can fully commit.

Anyone else feels like this much more of a comfortable read than those stupid rom-coms with so much stupid shenanigans? It's just two people chilling out, trying to find solace in each other, pretty cool, tbh.

This is definitely a more comfortable read than some of the other romcoms I read, but I fully expect some sort of drama to rear its head at some point. There have been some hints of that throughout the few chapters we have seen. Not saying it would be crazy drama, but who knows. I do expect it to be handled more maturely than other romcoms since both of our leads are adults, so hopefully no silly high school like shenanigans.

If only leads being Adult would've made a manga comparatively mature than romcom manga then we wouldn't have this. Though I agree with you, I really enjoy this manga, so I really hope this doesn't get a drama tag on it.

Nah, I think the premise is they believe relationships are a hassle but it's just the weird pressure and expectations some people have on their relationship that is a hassle

Despite the couple's "cute" moments, I can't help but notice a certain sad vibe in the story. We gotta look at it from the Japanese perspective, where it's pretty common for companies to demand crazy long work hours. The two are probably stuck in what's called "black companies" in Japan and are basically reaching their breaking point from exhaustion. From what I know about Japanese culture, they have a really hard time quitting their jobs to look for something better.

There are several mangas like that lately fortunately, with adults and with teenagers. Here are some I like :

https://mangadex.org/title/b2c328e2-7aca-4c17-b95a-6697371544ff/drama-na-koi-wa-kihon-kara

The last one is a parody that doesn't even try to be realistic, but where the usual drama tropes get resolved very quickly since both protagonists are stable adults.

I think the manga is in hiatus since July last year, since the web releases stopped then and there's only one volume of manga out.
This is an adaptation of an LN which seems to be complete, so...

So many good ones to TL! I’ll have to think about it more but this one came to mind as one that would be cool to see translated: Kawaii no wa Ore de aru

Tribal wars were always part of the business everywhere and crunch is common everywhere nowadays. So far it's just bad days at work. True black company just fires everyone who doesn't crunch or doesn't obsess over right people.
