Wow another flashback side story chapter? How many of these are there?!?

I knew an axe would come, but this is still a really forced way to wrap things up.

Haha, Ayaka’s gaydar

Yuri-goggling between the lines.

Although, amusingly enough, she's actually not wrong in this case. :D

Ayaka making the right assumptions. Well if both were so dense like Hiroko, we'd all be dust soon.

If it were easy to distinguish between gaydar and wishful thinking, there would be no need for gaydar.

idk what you mean, this isn't the end of it. The series is complete with 24 chapters, so there's still plenty to come.

Okay. I've finished the vol 2 of this story. It doesn't get as bad as other ppl mentioned. Hiroko gets more relatable as the story progresses.

There is a reason why she acts like this. She used to have a crush on a senpai just like Ayaka does now, and that ended horribly which made her the way she is now. I really felt bad fot her and I totally understand her now. I haven't finished vol 3 but I'll reply with my thoughts after I'm done.

I still do not care. How is this 40 year old woman so stupid and emotionally constipated that she can't step back and realize "lol wait I'm just doing the same exact shit for no reason"
And the fact that at this point she just acts like a balding salaryman when she's allowed to be gay. I don't care about her and if Risa was a good friend she'd get Ayaka off that useless ass.

No I'm not salty and projecting, what makes you think that

will chapter 10 ever come...

And it's here! Love Hiroko's uncomfortable/scared face on page 3, once she realizes what this all might end up implying. She's in active denial more than she is dense. Literally running from the convo. Can't be more straightforward than that.

She also really underestimates Ayaka's ability to hunt her down (and probably doesn't know how much Ayaka watches her in the office). That bar seems like happy chaos everytime it's shown.

My guess is that not even a topically applied Kabedon will get through Hiroko's denseness.

At this point I'm only wondering how she's going to misunderstand this

This amount of denial is no longer just irritating, it's plain unbearable.

bruh

This series is so great and so incredibly frustrating.

Damn this Hiroko is disgustingly stupid. Seriously even for a manga this is to much.

Been a long time since I had this much fun reading a manga. This is hysterical.

I'm starting to doubt whether she was actually a womanizer.

If you think this chapter was frustrating, just you wait when someone comes explaining how Hiroko's way of thinking is completely understandable and you should look for another series because this isn't the type of rom-com for you, plus criticizing something is unallowed in this page since you could have simply "not click it"

So… how long will we have to endure this nonsense!? Gosh I don’t know how long I’ll be able to read if this keeps up for too long. I’m actually starting to ship the coworkers together and then the senpai can stay miserably single.

Quoting the classics, "BEHOLD! THE CLUEHAMMER! IT DRIVES CLUES INTO THICK SKULLS. THIS IS NOT A PAINLESS PROCEDURE."

I wonder what happened in Hiroko's past that makes her this way. She seems frightened of the possibility that this girl is serious about her. I think she;s a womanizer because she doesn't do relationships.

Yeah, she seemed a bit apprehensive, for sure. She's not a womanizer anymore though, they mentioned that earlier in the series during an off hand coversation. That was something she was more known for in the past and at the bar.

i must be a masochist to keep reading these comments. the salt!

Dammit, Shimamura, there's a limit to how far you can twist your denial... Er, I mean, Hiroko...

So this is what peak levels of Useless Lesbian looks like...
