choco good for your brain, got it

AHAHAHAHAHAHA FINALLY HE GOT THE HINT. Let's see will Tanaka tell about this in vague way to Hiragi or not. If he tell her about this, that will be funny.

 

[kngpjn]

I'm glad he finally realised, but:
1) "I don't know if this suits your taste" girl, that is a lie.
2) how did he not know her first name
3) how has he been hitting on her "without realising", he complimented her directly multiple times, they literally went on a date and he held her hand. Author just wanted a title drop.
Anyway good for him.

He know her first name but I think "Rena" at Japan is quite like common name so only with surename change will make people thought that they're different person. If we talk only about her name.

Excuse me, Clark Kent IS Spooderman?!

Yay, MC’s neurons finally fired in the right pattern and it clicked for him ahah! I can’t wait to see what happens now!

 

[BobBob]

That title drop, though.

MC's brain cells bounced around his head like a DVD logo until they hit each other at just the right angle.

I'll bet it's something that wouldn't translate well: It's not that he didn't know her first name, it's that he didn't know the kanji she used for it. So he sees her sign the card and realizes that she uses the same kanji as Saito that she does as Hiragi (which he could've seen on her nametag from work or from timeslips or whatever) and that's the connection.

Because knowing two people who have the same given name wouldn't be weird. But knowing two people that have the same given name that use exactly the same characters to spell it would be a bit weirder (from a Japanese perspective, at least)

 

[Nightwave]

about time huh, took him long enough

 

[nxneil13]

OMG IS HIS DENSE FOG FINALLY CLEARING?!

 

[JashwanthGeass]

OMG finally MC used his brain for once, LFGoooo.

 

[Ravinous]

We are doing it! We are breaking free of the event horizon of shonen male black hole awareness! Sling shot trajectory of LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!!

Ahh I see. I was forgot about that.

I'm not gonna hate on the guy. If this was another series then he'd still think it was a coincidence.

I think he means by talking about how much he likes her and talking her up to her co-worker side.

 

[juncarlo911]

Oh my God. Finally, he realized it 🤣

 

[Closetweeb53]

Thank GOD

 

[Lunkli]

This is like Battler realizing Beatrice's identity in Umineko but nowhere near as cool.

 

[StandFab]

Hope you get better soon mr translator

 

[Areos]

This guy´s has less lights than a pirate ship...
After all this time he learns her name? Even eating exactly the same chocolate she asked him just hours before and yet, was still thinking it was just a coincidence?
He notices now he was hitting on her? NOW?

 

[Eterky]

Watch him next chapter saying "nah, it's not possible" and completely forget about this topic after.

Literally my thought when I read it. "aaaaaand this won't survive till the next chapter..."
