Yeah, this whole thing is not making a lot of sense—she was picked to be a spy because she’s so incompetent? And what was that flashback scene with her at the window of a car?

Getting her to spy would make more sense if it came after meeting the CEO's daughter. And her on the bridge happened after getting fired. The car thing was her falling on her face while pursing the client she had screwed up with and arrived at the clients car all scraped up.

I enjoyed chapter 1 but this spy thing is really nonsensical

Yeah, I see that now. But because we first see her getting scolded at work, it's not clear until the boss confronts her that the light-haired person with the earrings and ruffled blouse is a client rather than an in-company supervisor. And that client seems to be totally pissed at her before the car thing.

It just looks like unnecessarily confusing storytelling all around. I was looking forward to seeing the hapless OL and the rebellious girl trying to live together, without the intrusive bodyguards . . .

We all love you Nagashima , you clumsy klutz.

After reading chapter 2, im confused,
Why would nagashima worried about getting fired? She literally have the CEO side and his daughter likes her.
The manager shouldn't have any a power against her now right?

The setup reminds me a bit of Can't Defy the Lonely Girl, in that a lot of fairly nonsensical stuff happens to get the plot moving, and a lot of it doesn't really contribute to the story. It's at best screwball logic. This is less rooted in reality than Still Sick, and the characters are a little less opaque (it took a long time until we were shown what Maekawa's deal was). I dunno, the Akashi + Rankarana combo is still really doing it for me (the licensed localization of Still Sick is not nearly as fun as SAD's, and this is a hill I'm willing to die on). I'm along for the ride wherever it goes.

The yuri is not strong enough to balance out the questionable plot

Huh, even Nagashima's noticed the plot setup doesn't fucking make sense...

Here's hoping that's a sign it was entirely deliberate and the actual hook is something more convoluted than the dumb horseshit she was fed.

Oh, but you see, they don't REALLY like her. They're just pretending. And if by chance they're not, should they ever find out what she's REALLY like, they'll drop her immediately.

This is what it is to have low self-esteem, forever.

Alternate title: Being Nagashima is suffering

It's nice that Nagashima seems to have decided she doesn't want to stab Kazuha in the back anymore...but I bet the aunt is going to incentivize her to keep trying.

I think maybe I’m getting a little better handle on what the tone is supposed to be here—the “dad vetting every person in the theme park” thing indicates an overall wackier fantasy ethos than Nagashima’s opening suicidal ideation seemed to suggest, and the hall-of-mirrors/MC’s “real” self connection is more sophisticated storytelling than the clunky first chapters demonstrated.

As I said previously, the author of Still Sick has earned plenty of benefit of the doubt, and it’s starting to seem like there’s more method to this madness than I first believed.

I'll be reasonably satisfied if it's stupid as shit but still funny, I think being over the top is just how this manga is going to be, especially considering the scanlators' comments of this being "charmingly demented"

A sexy aunt, eh? Here come the hijinks.

What in the god damn hell

You mean the office that you literally tried to kill yourself in order to get away from? Please think about your motives a little bit harder.
