Chapter 53Previously, Shima got caught up in the affairs of Kokubun and his lover, the young hostess Xiaolan, when it started to effect business after getting on the wrongside of a Solar Electric executive named Miyaji. It turned out that Chen, another Hatsushiba employee, found out that Miyaji had been paying Xiaolan to spy on Hatsushiba and leak company secrets to him. Kokubun, pissed, confronted her and decided to end things but a distraught Xiaolan threw herself overboard from the boat that they were on and Kokubun dived in to save her. After that, they seemed to realize how much they loved one another but there was still unfinished business. Kokubun went to see Miyaji, a former kendo champion, in order to settle things man-to-man. With kendo swords, the two had a duel which Kokubun won and seemed to close the book on everything.There were other things too such as the death and possible suicide of the owner of a manufacturing group when it was decided that Hatsushiba would be cutting them off. Shima also paid a visit to Nami and Nancy in New York as Nami had given birth; there he met his grandson, Kotaro. And there seemed to be more relationship trouble as an employee named Shigeta met his fiance Kaori for a date. Kaori was wanting him to come back to Japan as she was tired of waiting for him, but during their date Shigeta spied Chen and thought something was odd so followed him which caused Kaori to decide to leave him as it seemed as if he was putting business over her.
oh shit we are back already?
That's it for this time. Next time, Shima's back in Japan for a bit for a rare Oizumi appearance.>>284791960Seems so
We're back! That was fast.>>284791975Shima taking such a proactive stance about somebody else's personal life feels unusual for him. Is this character development?
>>284791849that's nothing to laugh about, think of poor abe.
>>284792031shima the no more heartless. thanks op.
>>284792396AFAIK this guy isn't making politically convenient alliances with money-sucking cults.
>>284791616Starting off with Presley - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZmUfUBqE-s>>284791775surprisingly un-Shanghairen >>284791804unsurprisingly Japanese>>284792005What a score!>>284792031thanks, OP. Setting up the spotify playlist convinced the algorithm that I'm an old man, with all of the other stuff I listen to from the 18 50s
>>284792031thanks OP, I stand in line.
>>284794002>money-sucking cultshow can you say this when half of the cast (shima included) is like I LOVE HATSUSHIBA, MY LIFE FOR HATSUSHIBA.
>>284796321Here's a health to the company, and one to my lass...
>>284796321At least Hatsushiba provides for them.
heck yeah, thought we wouldn't have more Shima for the year. Pleasantly surprised to be proved wrong. Awesome Kurisumasu present
>>284791946>420 meters talldude
>>284792031Thanks, OP!
>>284796223glad to see you around snekanon, mellikuri to you
>>284795359>I stand in lineI wonder if Shima's luck would be able to beat out Westview's misery miasma.
>>284792031In another news, after working his ass on the private sector, Shima decided to retire and become an admiral aboard JSDF.
>>284799077not a chance, he has too much potential for suffering, especially if you consider what could happen to nami. the only way to avoid the funkydome would be with his old jig in sunlight records, acting as producer for the the band idol group Hyaku Beeru.
>>284791874It's too soon for Mortal Kombat, Chairman!

>>284791946Shima is about to fucking kill him.
>>284791695In-dept. corporate espionage on your day off?Say about commitment.How come Japan ain't leading the tech/manufacturing/innovation markets anymore?
>>284791775Oh crap, he's Mao's mole trying to steal Hatsushiba's secrets for the Chinese!
>>284792005>Sprendid! Stupid Riben Guizi not only are giving out their trade secrets, they're even paying me extra to carry out my National Duty! 哈哈哈哈哈哈!
>>284807055Shima looking a little older here.

Chapter 54
That's it for today. Next time, falls are kind of dangerous for old people.
>>284814392He's going to die next chapter isn't he
>>284814253>SQZZCute
>>284814392Ah shit, are we saying goodbye to another one of the old guard?Thanks, OP.
>>284814392everyone keeps falling
>>284816254the shima golf game curse strikes again
>>284817105Hatsushiba can't defeat gravity after all.
>>284817485if I remember it right, wasn't the very first chapter of section chief about shima outsmarting some guy in a golf camp?
>>284814392thanks op. i bet noriko is the culprit.
>>284819596No, it was the one with him being seduced by the woman who was basically a prototype version of Kumiko.
>>284791611rip
>>284791616hes cool
>>284814392Thank you for posting.
>>284814392Thanks.
Help me out bros. Where do I start with these? I’ve been seeing them pop up for years in my searches. Section chief, managing director, yadda yadda. Where do I start?
>>284814392I had a bad feeling when dumpanon mentioned Oizumi yesterday. Time to say goodbye to the old man.
>>284827502If you look at mangadex they tell you what part it is.There's also a prequel series, but they were released at a later date.There's one anon keeping tabs on the big arcs and original release dates of every chapter. He posts the sheet every now and then.But to answer your question: Section Chief -> Division Chief -> Managing Director (You are here)
We're so Hatsushiback
>>284791748Motorola?
>>284791975I mean.. that's still kind of weird. The guy told you he LIKED working in China...
>>284828524>There's one anon keeping tabs on the big arcs and original release dates of every chapter. He posts the sheet every now and then.That's just me grabbing it from the translator's site.
>>284814126>enter chungus
>>284814392>falls are kind of dangerous for old people
>>284814091Shima has the appraisal skill!
>>284814392age catches up with us all
>>284829526Keep on keeping on.It's nice getting the perspective of just how large this series is.
