Always loved an easy to hate character. And this one is easy to set up for redemption due to them being a spoiled brat who just needs comeuppance. However that last panel? Bit hard to let slide. (also, she could've maybe said she's maron's student.)

So one Jane calling another Jane a scumbag...how classy.

(also, she could've maybe said she's maron's student.)

she can't say that because satou-san is the teacher, not maron. that would be revealing the girl's double life to a possibly dangerous stranger.

she could say friend tho, but mc is dumb

You heard it here first: Makino will never have a chance to answer because Maron will come out of the house and interrupt the conversation.
And then Makino will have to explain what's the f she's doing there, big oopsie.

I think you're correct.
I'm kinda curious whether Makino realizes Maron certainly has dozens of clients? She clearly dislikes this Rina girl, and I guess that makes it personal, but as for the others... there's no way she believes she can keep following Maron and chasing away all of her clients, right??

Im gonna sound dumb but I now realize the reason why scummy is in the title

Maybe it's just me but I don't think MC intended to stalk Maron. I just realized that almost everything is written/drawn from her perspective of view. And to get information for the readers, she more or less has to be following her, or else we only get to see what MC sees herself. In a way it's stalking, in another way it's just the perspective of view.
But I don't know, that's how I see it.

author's afterword is amazing as always rip long hair

It's how I see it as well: she's a baby lesbian in baby love taking baby steps towards her goal, which she isn't even all that certain about, but whatevah, she pluckily perseveres!
(That oil tycoon fantasy where she buys Maron 24/7 forever is the closest thing to a goal she has figured yet, lmao!)

Scum on Scum Action

The MC is a coward but I would love to see if she has the balls to say yes to this just see what happens. Doesn't even need to follow through. Would be hilarious.

I hope she has the balls. I love MC (it’s a character you love to “hate” and call a dumbass), she’d gain more points with me if she said “sure why not” just to startle the other scum

but some scum on scum action would be kinda interesting

What could exactly be a look, or a type of make-up, that makes you look like you'll kill anyone who rubs you the wrong way or says a wrong line?

That's a very good question that allows us to illustrate well the differences between Western and Asian sensibilities.

In the West, the answer to your question would be something like this:

In Japan, the answer to your question is something like this:

Japan is different, of course.

So Maron-san just ignored Makino’s obvious stalking? I thought she’d call her out on that, not only about speaking to a client.
Well… Makino is in danger now tho, I am aftaid this Rina will find out about the school and end up seeing Satou there

The authors' afterwords are just as important as the content of this comic.

Agreed. I love reading what she writes about her child and stuff, it’s like we are besties. I wish her the best.

Makino successfully protected Maron!

Score one for team Angel in Love Pretending to be a Scumbag. Yay!

But... the real scummy chick is planning revenge...

Wholesome afterwords

Rinarina and Makino should just book Maron together.

I'm genuinely surprised Rinarina hasn't been blacklisted. I get that she's a big money source, but if she's making all of the staff sick by working them to death with her unlimited stamina, that just seems bad for your workers and ultimately the business as well.

Isn't it par for the course for Japanese businesses to work their employees to death, regardless?

I'm curious about the author thanks to all the afterwords. Is it a mother? Because that conjures up an amusing image in my mind. A mother of a kindergartener son writing/drawing yuri.
