And here's a few notes from the TL, @mogu to debate them!
P3
Panel 1 Not even content with the contrivance of them ending up living together and working together, has to have them happen to randomly meet each other in the middle of goddamn Paris while out for a walk.
Panel 5 God damn it, stop fucking beating us over the head with it. Everyone already knows so stop acting like it's some huge surprise. Especially when you keep constantly hammering on heavyhanded hints about how they're going to end up in the same place.
Panel 8 In normal circumstances, no it wouldn't be. Because of how contrived the entire situation is, it would be miraculous for something like it to actually happen. Storywise, though, Yagami's right. But the author himself seems to want to make a huge deal out of it.
P4
Panel 6 He's still going to try to pass of them ending up living together as a surprise? What the hell is he thinking?
P5
Panel 2 GAAAAAY
Panel 6 He's really going to try to do an SECOND surprise despite everyone having already predicted before even the first surprise. he's just beating a dead horse as this point, really.
P6
Panel 1 Why does she have a room that was used for homestay and then suddenly wasn't? Did she just randomly decide to opt out of the homestay program immediately after Hotaru left? And leave that room empty for 10 months? If she's not part of a homestay program how did Hotaru end up there in the first place? This isn't how homestays work NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE.
Panel 3 Someone with no experience who hasn't even finished school is being placed on the same level as an extremely famous veteran with nearly 10 years of industry experience.
P7
Panel 4 Like even the author himself has to keep pointing out how incredibly unbelievable and bullshit this is.
Panel 8 Just stop already goddamn.
P8
Pane l3 Again, GAAAAAY
P10
Panel 2 He says after a chapter where he introduced three new character at once who have had a single appearance since.
Panel 8 I pray to god she doesn't.

Normally, this would be the part where you worry about Rin and Kou's 'relationship' with Hotaru there, "connected by fate". Very drama heavy.
But this isn't that type of story, thankfully.

Thanks for finishing Vol 8! I know it was hard to deal with their choices of plot hahaha... aahh but now comes vol 9 I saw the raws
Lol unnamed Special Effects character seems more fun than the planning team.
and the first chapter is just HNNNNNNNNNNG ...or well, that's how it seemed to me! Lots of KouRin... Of course, no rush, I'm just sayin' I'm excited!

@Midoriha it's not really confirmed nepotism yet. <.< We don't even know how big Blue Rose is nor do we even know what positions Kou and Hotaru have. Catherine said her "right hand and left hand" but that doesn't mean they have a high position, that could just mean they're like her go to people. Also if Hotaru gets something like second in command of character design, that's still not Nepotism, cause she's qualified for that, she doesn't need to have worked on making a game to be good at that or even better than the people there. (Especially if the game is going to fall into the design style of her specialty) If she's the best suited for the job, even if she hasn't been with the company for a while it's not nepotism, it's just putting the best person forward.

I feel like this is the only manga I've read in which introducing new characters besides the original cast was a huge mistake. The author has no idea how to balance the screentime and character interactions of them, and he basically admits it in the credits of volume 8.

LOL, Yagami got LINEzoned)
About @mogu 's remarks:
That doesn't mean, of course, that the rest of the chapter is cliche ASF.
@Midoriha @WillLi It cannot be called a nepotism in any way because Hotaru is nobody for Blue Rose. She doesn't have (and never had) any connection or relation to neither Eagle Jump nor Blue Rose, unless Catherine interviewed her during her stay as a student (and I guess she is, it would be extremely stupid NOT to try to have talented people like Hotaru in your team), so she is just another employee being recruited. And Kou was just literally bought from Eagle Jump as a valuable resource. Nepotism is when you had your brother as your CEO, your niece as your head of the sales department and your childhood friend as your main accountant regardless of that they are a plumber, a beautician and a taxi driver, respectively.
It's just the world is small, and so is the author's nonexistent "creativity". =_=
About @mogu 's remarks:
In ch.65 you can see that her place is pretty big, so it isn't unusual to keep a free room, and also in homestay program you always can say that you only allow one person to board with you so your place won't be crowded. Also, Hotaru was an exchange student and she could be already a part-timer at Blue Rose at the time (we never knew it), so Catherine could have recruited her already in the past and leave a room for her at her request (she even leave a few things there).
Saying that Hotaru doesn't have an experience is the same as saying there are butterflies at the Moon. Business experience - yes, of course, experience as an artist - are you squiddin' me? Also, Hotaru's specialty is analog medium (we had a chapter about it already), and Kou's is digital medium, so Catherine really literally bought herself a good left and right arm from Japan. She also had a remark about her team practices in the same ch.65.

My doubt about the homestay program was more why did it suddenly end with Hotaru, and then arbitrarily leave the room completely vacant for nearly a year before Yagami suddenly decided to inquire. Catherine would have had no reason to just stop accepting students.
And you can defend Hotaru's skill all you like, but I'm still going to say that they are not, as presented in the story, in any way believable.
