I read the original version but didn't mind rereading it. Daidai was a perfect fit for this job. I love that shot of the manager's serious worried face in the final panel. It feels like such a classic expression in manga, some person looking as they worry over another character's safety with this dramatic air. It just makes Daidai's mindless counter-pressing even funnier.
That aside: why did they have counters for fruits?? Are sentient or mobile fruit part of the weird phenomenon??
