What an incredibly good chapter! This was god tier level of humor. So much awkwardness, so many misunderstandings. Chloe freaking out over both the women's and men's the bathroom was hilarious. She was basically molested by that bidet. And she has almost no interior monologue, so she just randomly blurts out incredibly embarrassing things in public. Her reaction to seeing a guy flip his dick out in the urinal was great. The pubic hair, and the ambiguity of whether it came from her, or someone else, was hilarious. I also loved the horror of her realizing that the toilet seat wasn't actually heated, and she was just experiencing the residual heat from the last guy who sat on it.

Once again, Himekawa rescued her. She is like Chloe's knight (princess) in shinning armor. I can relate to Chloe's reaction to her job. As I've become more skilled at what I do, my work has become increasingly independent and isolated from interacting with other people. I miss working with other people. That sense of comradery and team work.

I will say that I do have one minor disappointment. Chloe has her male body's memories. I was really hoping that she wasn't going to have any of his memories and she would have to guess and fake her way through life. Empathy wise, it's good she has them. Humor wise, I wish she didn't have them. Oh, well. Her having these memories, is like a small pubic hair, on an otherwise pristine public toilet. I also recognize the humor and plot potential of Chloe having these extra memories. The author could have her remember embarrassing situations and traumas that this guy experienced before Chloe became him. Imagine being traumatized by things that happened to someone else.

I'm really impressed with the level of detail and foresight this author has demonstrated so far. It's easy to miss, with how funny this manga is. It's interesting how Chloe immediately bought that fried chicken and beer. She doesn't just have to battle against her own bad habits; but also those of the guy whose body she took over. Imagine if this guy has a massive porn collection and Chloe finds it. There's so much potential here.

I'm wondering why someone with a programming background would be living in such as rundown apartment such as that? Hopefully we get some explanation of that in the future.

I saw some documentary of an expat engineer wrking in Tokio, he had a good job and a good salary, enough for a 6 tatami apartment near his labour camp. Rents are high and being a bachelor he really don't need very much space just for slumbering between workdays.
