^Honestly, all you guys, I'm not really bothered by this. It probably has to do with the fact that I've previously read a rather cute hentai het manga about a guy that runs a pub with his centaur wife. (Despite being called "Fist Fiesta", it's actually pretty cute, though you might want to avoid like 99% of the author's other work.)
Being real, After Hours is amazing and a delight the whole way through. Worth a read or two. More than anything, it's fun. The whole thing is about having fun and coming to grips with what that means as you get older and have to balance that with reality. It comes together so well with good pacing to boot.
