Titties and kitties are quite nice and all but who the hell starts tracking a year in October?

I feel like it's a misunderstanding of the "15/16-month calendar" that's usually sold here where it has 1 page at the start with tiny versions of September or October through December of the prior year before going to the page-per-month standard format for all of the subsequent year.

Those initial months are not there because there's meaning in starting a calendar in October. They're there because they are usually sold in the fall/winter prior to the new year and it makes sure they're at least somewhat useful before the year rolls over to the next and you actually need the full calendar beginning in January. If you bought a calendar and chucked it in a drawer for 3 months there's a decent chance you'd forget about it by the time it got to actually needing it.

Can't say I've seen that, but interesting to know.
Fun fact: Paired with some of the technology seen so far that layout, assuming it is Sunday-Saturday, means the calendar there covers October/November 2029 or is an outdated calendar entirely. The iPads and Linme would allow for 2012 or 2018, but from what I can tell the first 3 camera iPhones were in 2019.

Purreina, huh......?
Bravo to the scanlation team alliance for that one..

Surprised Zurikishi has gone so long on a manga and hasn't put atleast one paizuri scene
I am hoping for one at the end
The author is most likely being forced by their editor into having to settle for kitty making biscuits with all that dough instead.

Fun Fact.

Some calendars starts in April or October due to the "Fiscal Year" of the country. In most countries, the fiscal year starts on January (aligning with the calendar year), but there are countries are different, like:
  • Canada (april - goverment)
  • Japan (april - goverment)
  • United Kingdom (april)
  • USA (October - Federal / July - most states)

Her STILL not realizing he's the same guy makes me wonder how close to death by alcohol is she every night?
At the end of the manga they will get together only for a doctor to reveal she has just a year to live due to liver cancer, and we'll have to add the "tragedy" tag. It will be an abrupt tonal shift that most readers hate, but some will appreciate for its serious treatment of alcoholism and its consequences, which have been a disaster for the human race.

Or maybe not. I'm just spitballin' here.
