is she playing dumb or something? i was certain she already knew she liked the manager... Or does she really no realize it herself yet? willl it take a rival for her to finally come to terms?
I'll change the first two, but I'm leaving the third. I think the confusion it generates is intentional, as it could apply to to Higurashi or Airi, as Airi in this chapter behaves kind of like Kumano descibes. The first two make sense, though.
I agree she's talking about the manager, but if I were to change it, it makes no sense. Airi seems confused/nervous because she thinks Kumano is talking about her. If she could easily tell Kumano was talking about the manager, I don't think she would be like that. Also, then Kumano is answering the question herself, when she previously wanted Airi to guess. Again, I believe it to be intentionally vague. Also, my QC wasn't good, as I forgot to put a "Yeah..." on page 7! I'll have to have some words with... Me. It's fixed now, though.

Aye. I'd be shocked if she didn't like the manager already. She may be a bit airheaded in a certain way (which is kind of the point of the series, as stated by the description), but I feel like not in this way. She's definitely not stupid or anything.
