Making the MC some sort of a harem protag is a bit of a bummer but as long as the main focus of the story (which is the chill conversations at the laundry) stay as the focus I'll stick around.

I assumed Narita was speaking English from the look of the other guy, but only got confirmation afterwards...

don't we usually use <> to denote English in the raw?
He's speaking Japanese in the raw, so it's probably very simple and formal enough that an American with rudimentary Japanese knowledge can understand. He's saying he wishes he could speak English because it would have been easier for Mr. Foreigner than dumbed down Japanese.

Not every manga needs a bunch of throwaway loser heroines. Would be nice if we could stick to the main pair.

Or better yet, give it a side ship. I think MC could have some potential as a mentor character. Would definitely spice up the manga, though I don't mind if we stick to the main pair. Not that I totally ship them, though...

I'm ngl. It's not like it's a harem. But why would the author go outta their way to make another female character that immediately wanted to get to know our mc better. From their convo they hardly knew eachother past being co-workers. It's not like talking to one immediately makes it so. But this author builds them up and immediately gells with the mc rather than build it up as a slow cosy laundry story.
The tried and true "convince the audience the male lead is attractive by creating another character for him to reject" rather than just writing him in an attractive and mature way.

She got way too much context in this chapter for her to just be a throwaway character, too. I imagine there will be some future interactions.

The out of nowhere interest is probably due to MC giving her the single earring he won from idol lady from their bets in chapter 3. I guess in hindsight her having a bubble dedicated to her name must’ve been the clue of her having some role in this story
