Aww yis, more cute!

Interesting anecdote with the Union store, also shows the cultural difference - to me, and I'd argue to most people here, they'd get viewed very negatively if they had people working during such hazardous conditions rather than let them go home and shelter. In Okinawa, it earned them cult status.

So Union is like Waffle House in the United States just with less brawls and drunk people. Waffle House is noted to stay open even in hurricanes, if its incredibly bad they will close which means shit is dangerous they also help people out in diasters areas.

There is a unofficial index.

I find it extremely hilarious that they measure the severity of a typhoon by checking if the local chain supermarket is open or not.:dogkek:

They probably have safety measures for such conditions on the store, specially if they're frequent; and the workers on those shifts would be on volunteering basis.

Let no one doubt the power of Best Girl. 🥰

I swear, the author needs to set him up with Kana or it's going to end up as another Love Hina.

(A lot of viewers/readers swear Mutsumi was the real promise girl and should've won, but Naru had to win because she was loosely modeled on the author's love interest / wife.)

It kinda sounds like they managed to turn a business move into a folk practice. And i guess it ended up being self-fulfilling; people who grew up hear of the folk-tale of union, end up working there and have the self satisfaction of being part of the folk-tale and enjoying folk-hero status for doing so. Supporting your community is always a good thing, hopefully they get more than being called a 'hero' for their troubles.

Suzu planned that on purpose, didn't she?

I always talk about Kana. This time I will talk about how cute Suzu is. Suzu is a cutie.

Also the anime is pretty fun.

First thing that came to my mind.

Is this an novel adaptation?? Please tell me he ends up with Kana... Like this is unfair to not have them end up together... She's such a best girl 😭 also she's technically a FMC as well alongside Hina.

Nope, fully original manga.

"Union is closed?! This is a bad typhoon."

Okay, so it's the Japanese version of Waffle House. Except that Waffle House doesn't close even if the power is out (they just have reduced menu, and their grills are powered by propane so they can still cook and make coffee and whatnot).

But, yes, if you live in the south or elsewhere and the Waffle House is closed, something is drastically fucking wrong. Waffle House literally has their shit better together than FEMA at times. They have a disaster response HQ that helps before a storm hits and after with getting supplies and people there. They actually take volunteer workers that are like elite and seasoned workers and bring them in to substitute for the local workers. Because they want their local staff to be home with their families.

Likely, literally, they do disaster response and help get people fed better than some governments and relief organizations.
