I just love thos story, there are a lot of people worrying that it'll end up going melodramatic or angsty but I don't get that vide at all from it, the whole thing seems super relaxed and I love that. This is definitley one of my favourite reads at the moment!

Yeah, it reminds me a bit of Chatting at the Amber Teahouse though with a more active and exciting setting. Amber Teahouse was almost a perfect manga to me, if this series were to achieve what Amber Teahouse did but with this awesome club/night life stuff going on, it'd be a dream come true for me.

I hope this series continues. The characterization so far has been excellent.

Actually, it reminds me of Shinozaki-san because the overall thrust of the story is shaping up to be a guided tour of things the author loves. Japanese nightlife and the music scene in this one, otaku culture in the case of Shinozaki-san. Both with a clear yuri aspect. The tone is different, but they do have that major element in common.

Which is great, because it adds to the fun the author has telling the story. I'm really looking forward to this.

Nice to see another manga that doesn't take place in high school. Art is cute too! I have high hopes for this series.

You'd think living with someone else would encourage them to shower?

Thank god, a manga that isn't filled with cliche characters and fucking pointless drama but instead is filled actual believable people.

Didn't Emi forget to put the key under the fire extinguisher?

So, 30 means you're old? What gives? ._.

I once told my aunt that 30 = old because 60 divided by 2 is 30 thus old. She became angry with me, then. On a more serious note, I think it has something to do with a woman's ability to safely give birth to children and settle down or something. I need citation but I don't have one!

Great start. For now, they seem friends with benefits (Kei says as much), but I think it's going to evolve into a couple living together. They are already talking about buying furniture, ffs! xD

I think that Kei gave Emi an extra key to her apartment, rather than the only key. It's less a "lock up once you leave" kind of thing and more "I'm giving you a key to my home" kind of thing. So if she put it under the extinguisher it'd be like rejecting the whole thing, and no one wants that.

Japanese culture is very chauvinistic and male dominated, meaning women are expected to give up their jobs and goals and marry young, typically before 25. This has led to the idea that women are "too old" or "impure" once they have surpassed 25. Said women are sometime nicknamed "Christmas Cakes" as buying a Christmas Cake is a major tradition in Japanese culture but you aren't supposed to eat any of the cake once December 25th, just as no one would likely marry a women over 25.

TL;DR: Its cause Japan is really sexist and idealizes female youth, thus a 30 year old woman is an "old hag" by there standards.

haahahaha holy shit

Kei is so cool like she's the person most of us would probably give an arm to turn into by the time we're 30? I dunno maybe it's just me. They are so cute and comfortable around each other even though it's been like a day

Nice~ This manga is really cute. But I wouldn't sleep with a person after I met here. It's like god want it (I guess so)
I swear the street in page 16 ( http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/after_hours_ch01#16 ) I already saw. Shibuya is not far so I sometimes visit it. This street must exist XD

Really enjoyable chapter. I like where it went. Almost no tension related to the previous night. I was worried it would go that cliched drama route but nope, not once (minus the stiffness around dinner time). And that face on pg. 18 XD. Sealed the deal for me with this story thus far.
