If u look like that ofc u gonna get sexually harassed

Neeko might as well carry a gun with that face and bod

Found the incel still angry that women avoid him like the plague. What a tragic, self caused fate.

Er, are you blaming her for getting sexually harassed? Cause that's completely on the person doing the harassing.

I dont think that was the intent here. Afterall a gun was recommended for self defense.

Assuming someone is a male incel on a female x female centric internet site is kind of out of place, no?

If that's the case then they definitely didn't communicate what they meant properly and should probably clarify.

I'm nervous that the mom is going to take the completely wrong lesson from this... Still, I also feel like this could be a definite opportunity for good things.

In the long term, Neeko and Uri moving in together would be fantastic

Overall I thought this was a good chapter. I feel like the author is probably going to wrap it up the series soon since it seems like this chapter was written intentionally to show they will seriously being working on Neeko's case. So it's good in the sense that I think progress will be made, but whether or not the methods shown are actually helpful is another story...

Uri is a good friend. I'm glad Neeko has her as support.

I don't even think a job is what Neeko needs right now. Her lack of self-confidence will be self-fulfilling and she'll screw up, reinforcing her bad beliefs.

Thing is, Neeko isn't actually incompetent? She almost feel backwards into working through the whole "neighborhood association" thing. If it was something simple she might be okay. Part of her problem is trying to get a "serious" job, I think... Like that's the only way you can live, show up in a suit and work in an office? She's scared of the interview process, but part time work or work in non-white collar industries doesn't require that type of interview.

Not sure what would work, the flyer job almost worked out but she got freaked out about it and pulled away.

If that's the case then they definitely didn't communicate what they meant properly and should probably clarify.

It seems pretty obvious to me that they meant "molesters are far more likely to sexually harass or even rape a woman if she's insanely attractive, especially if her own body language basically screams that she has a generally meek personality and is physically unfit, so such a weapon needs to take the maximum possible precautions because molesters will flock to her like flies to honey".

Just because the victim isn't to blame for molesters deciding to commit sexual assault upon her doesn't justify her not taking appropriate measures to fend off said sexual assault. If the risk is high enough that threatening the assailants with a gun becomes a reasonable option to take, then I'd say that she should do so (and take enough lessons in how to properly use it).

Not sure about that one chief. I mean, yeah Neeko need to work but i'm not sure tricking into working with such a huge crowd, who is impatient in top of that, is a good idea for someone who never work in such condition.It's pratically certain she will screw up. There is no way it will end well.

If anything something like this will set her progress back even further.

When I see this scene...

I realize that this manga should totally have been called "Her Elder Sister Has a Crush on Her, But She Doesn't Mind."

The author-san kinda screwed up an obvious storyline there. Yup.

Indeed, I just hope this isn't her friend's plan and more like something her mom came up with... And let's not forget there's a terrible weather right now, if the author decides to screw her over even more I don't know if I can keep up with this manga.

Quite sad if her family actually did trick her into getting a job just like that. I shouldn't be surprised at this point.

It's kinda hard to believe that her family is actually trying to help her at this point.

that's a twist, Hopefully it doesn't end as horribly as we all think it will. Not sure if a sink or swim method is the best way to help her though, especially with that many people in such a small space.

The fact she's being tricked is not what concerns me the most, but rather that her job consists on dealing with people who're likely very irritated after waiting for 2 hours under the scorching heat. And God have mercy if the console sell out while there's still a line.
It could end well, but requires people around her being supportive enough.

This is a good way to destroy her mentally.

This is like doing your first job on Black Friday without having dealt with your mental problems in a way that might prepare you for working in retail.

This is less comedic than Berserk.

Oof. Training on one of the busiest days with a freak weather event making everyone (more) irritable? I'm right there with you, sister.

I should have complained to HR about it. Pretty sure it goes against some labor laws, but I was new and needed the money.
