Can this dude just disappear, who asked you to barged in on other people buisness. Also giving 60% of the chapter to new couple nobody gives a shit about is just asking for an axe. With every chapter that manga starting to become more and more annoying.

Dude. that is none of your business what they did do in that room of his.
he thinks he is being respectful but he is not. he is just jealous it wasn't him she did visit. such a manchild who is disguised behind a polite apperance.
He is %100 right though. They are at a company retreat not some personal outing and he is her fucking BOSS. Dude would be FUCKED (in some capacity she would be too but not as bad) if it was someone else who saw them and started the gossip engine. There was not a single wrong word in his speech.

And just like that, side characters got more progress than the main couple :haa:
Thanks for the translation

I'm fine with it since the main couple is pretty boring since Konishikawa keeps ignoring the obvious affection Misato has for him and Misato refuses to sack up and actually confess (to be fair she's fighting an uphill battle both because of his attitude and also because he's her boss). Kida and the new girl on the other hand are pretty cute together and the new girl is actually willing to put the effort into winning him over. Misato could learn quite a bit from her.

He ain't wrong about the near-misandry in modern society. I didn't realize it was as bad in Japan though.

It's less misandry and more the obvious scandal it would cause and how that would reflect poorly on the company given he's her boss. Japan is all about staying low key and not going against the grain so anything that would potentially bring negative press to them is seen as problematic and would be swiftly swept under the rug while likely furloughing Konishikawa to the point of him having not much recourse except resigning in shame.

Also as an extra bit of irony, because Japan is still a heavily patriarchal society the fact that he's a man and she's a woman would inadvertently put the onus on him as the one in control of that potential tryst even if she's the one who approached him. It isn't misandry that governs that belief though, it's (again ironically) the idea that in a Patriarchy the man would have the power thus the assumption would be that she was following his orders even if that wasn't the case since it wouldn't be much of a Patriarchy if the woman was the one in control. Cruel twist of fate and all that but in a male dominated culture it makes sense to assume the man was the one who organized it, not the other way around. Essentially it's toxic masculinity on a societal scale.

I was thinking... 26 chapters it's not that much, it's just we had 26 chapters in two years. Monthly mangas (don't know if this manga is monthly) need a faster pace

I'm probably the only one that is actually more invested in the side couple than the main one, but I really like their interactions so far. They have nothing in common yet weirdly get along so well, it's nice and uncomplicated. It helps that they've already gotten way further than the main couple in terms of progress lol.

Yeah, I was going to say, our new interloper is weaponizing some misogyny and toxic masculinity in his attempts to get Misato back and Konishikawa is too dense to see the inappropriate parts of what he's suggesting along the way.
