Why would her manager have a say in whether to deny that story? Would the actress have had to go along with that fake relationship if her manager told her to? So much for her stance as someone who actually cares about her client (who’s also paying her salary).

I think it’s overdue for him and the manager to renegotiate/update their agreement on his distance with neighbor-san. The timing might be right given the current rumour as well… the problem is that the woman most affected isn’t part of the discussion, which is objectively wrong.

Thank you for the translation!

Could Manager-san be pondering a coupe? Go to the paper and switch the actor for the MC? That way the studio can get the press they want, and everyones feelings are respected?

The manager is the FMC's agent so that means she is empowered to act (make decisions) for her. Its never made clear what the FMC business relationship is with the talent agency but its probably some sort of contract and that obligates her to follow their direction to some degree. Its not like not the manager is not going to consult with the FMC, as we saw later, before committing anything. But the manager is also working for the agency who has their own interests in getting a return on their own investment. There is going to be a dynamic going on where the actress may need to listen to the manager as a representative of that agency.

What this episode shows us is that the manager sees the actress as more than an assignment or product of the talent agency but as a friend when she did not immediately accept the suggestion made that they go along with the gossip paper's story.

he manager goes a bit over the limit, it even seems like she is looking after her underage daughter's professional career.

Some of this is celebrity culture in general. And some of this is Japan's celebrity culture in particular which very much seems like it treats actors/singers/idols/whoever (especially the female ones) less as people and more like things that "belong to" the fans and their companies and whatever.

A new car? A coup might be what you're thinking. The manager turning the story down seems odd. Spreading rumours the star couple are dating in real life is as old as time.
If they accept the rumors, and then our FMC is later caught with our MC, there is now a cheating scandal.
In addition, it's been shown time and time again that the manager genuinely cares for FMC. She probably knows the whole 'caught in the act' was set up by the male actor, or is at least highly suspicious at best. So she doesn't want the fmc getting near him, since clearly he has ulterior motives (plus there's already a better guy in the form of our mc)

HAHAHA! True, excuse my low second language knowledge. I even googled it to make sure, and picked the wrong spelling anyway. But on the other hand, some manga solves things with magical cars, so who knows? :)

Honestly, in many scenarios, paparazzi are not interested if a celeb is dating a "normal" that any stories about the celeb dating is basically
"[Celebrity] found to be dating someone outside the industry" and so on.
