It's been ages since we last saw Inspector Nakamatsu, hasn't it?

No idea how long ago the inspector guy appearance really . Anyway, I think the presentation where the fish look like its still alive is kinda , not really appetizing.

the girls jumping to conclusions, then beating up shiro when they proven wrong. again.

These office ladies are really annoying. And every time they royally screw up, they get let off with just a simple "Oops, I'm sorry". I was especially pissed in that chapter with the sushi, where Toyama ended up hospitalised because of it. They should have at least made it up by buying a new one, but Yamaoka always ends up doing all the work 🙄🙄

Love seeing Yamaoka, the office punching bag, at it again.

This is probably going to be a recurring gag. I didn’t notice it happening nearly as much in the early volumes, but it seems like Kariya decided that it would be funny to have Yamaoka be a butt monkey. I’m guessing that the audience is meant to find it funny because we’re not supposed to like how apathetic and arrogant he is sometimes towards everyone and that it’s a good thing that they knock him down a peg.

That’s my guess anyway.

It absolutely is already a recurring gag. It's been happening way too many times with varying degrees of consequence.

I can only assume the justification is that Yamaoka is such a bum offscreen, causing the others way more trouble during regular work.
