I was wondering if Mariko was attached to him based on the hype…very funny to see that their meet-cute actually had him sleeping and drinking on the job. I guess at least we have to say that she’s aware of his faults
野 and 町 does have similar elements LOL. I wonder what happened.
It kind of feels like 野 was the original, then maybe someone saw the writing wrong, and then eventually the authors themselves forgot.
