"I love you!
— I know, I'm the coworker that kept giving you love advice.
— That's kinda fucked up. Why didn't you say anything? Were you toying with me?
— No! I mean, it's your fault for not noticing.
— I mean, fair but still."
awkward silence
"So, what do we do now? Grabbing dinner?
— ... Give me a while to process what the heck just happened."

She walked out on me, man.Imagine getting home, your girl is wearing glasses because she's on the PC and just got a haircut and you're like "WHO ARE YOU?!"
The only one to blame there is the author for even thinking this is slightly possible.I still wonder the size of the shitstorm when he finds out...
Ah, the classic "a smart character is only as smart as the author".The only one to blame there is the author for even thinking this is slightly possible.
Whenever I read a chapter about Hiragi, my SoD just breaks completely.
Author should have made it so MC realizes he actually likes coworker girl, and now you have the most bizarre love triangle ever. Get more milage out of the faceblind MC.
Yeah this reminds me of the terrible with tech premise from remote class girl manga, it could become cute if he's recognising she's just working away at her shyness towards dating by priming herself on one side and executing on the other. Tanaka can recognise that since there's enough justification in her character to behave that way. Keeping up the pretence of ignorance doesn't make the romance less cute but every time he talks to glasses ponytail it's ridiculous.The author could have removed some of the unrealistic part if Tanaka had, after a short while, realised Hiragi and Saitou are the same person, but he had decided to pretend not to notice.
