Chapter 129 TL.
Once again, Kizaki reminds us of the myth of consensual friendship.
Kizaki love
Look at the kettle calling the pot black.
"M" and "S" roles, huh...
>>289489180>keeps gravitating towards RihitoI smell love
Without realizing it, Rihito changed his lifestyle for Noa.
Noa's priorities, of course.
I think everyone in the company assumes they're dating at this point.Until next time.
>>289489013Also once again, anime announcement and all that. No debut date yet.
>>289489536Goddamn, Toyotake is a slimy bastard.
>>289489536>I love him so much!just good friends btw
Toyotake is my favorite type of a villain
>>289489755
>>289489640>>289489812He'll do anything to get what he wants. Even use Noa's feelings for Rihito.
How do you deal with women who refuse to listen?
>>289489991Corrective spankings.
>>289489575How do you even describe their relationship to outsiders?
>>289490547The girl is clearly in denial about being in love with the guy. The guy might be asexual but he genuinely values the girl as a friend.
>>289491701was just thinking we haven't seen negi in a hot minutealso they forgot to add tachibana
>>289489129Why does noa look sad? Wasn't she the one who said she didn't look at him like a man
>>289489695Why do men get involve with extremely mentally ill girls like noa? The sex can't be that good
>>289491780Rihito just doesn't see Tachibana as a woman.
>>289489639Gotta be honest, I'm looking forward to some of the porn. I hope we get a good amount of Drawings of Noa with pubes since it's canon and all that.
>>289489695Does Sensei know that there may be people who want to correct HER?
>>289491782She's changed her mind even if she doesn't realize it.
>>289491701Why is his mom part of the harem?
>>289491701Isn't Negi reasonable?
>>289492306Maybe it's because she goes with the flow way too much like the time she got a new gf out of now where and ditched them right before their Christmas party.
>>289489329Is there anyone in /a/ that would actually want a manager or leadership job?
>>289492737I want a "leave me alone" job.Let me work, stop talking to me. I don't want to deal with everyone's bullshit.
>>289492737Of course. The board is filled with insane people after all
>>289492737Hell no, I'm going through college again specifically to hopefully get a job where I interact with people as little as possible.
>>289492737Maybe if it pays enough, depends on the responsibilities. I had a job where my productivity wasn't measured, which was nice, but some roles shifted around pretty recently, and now I'm going to be subject to them again. While theoretically a managerial role would have a lot of issues, it's a bit less likely people will go into the system to ensure I'm doing X accounts an hour.
>>289489825amogus
>>289492350That was very obviously someone removing themselves from a couple's date
>>289489215>wiped out from 1 beerYou are not Japanese, Kizaki
>>289489825>uuuuThat's a big Noa.
>>289492737Absolutely fucking not. I like to work with my hands, I don't like telling other people what to do. I wound up in a manager position for a gamejam team at my college because everyone else were flakes and I was the one giving presentations and answering questions about the project, but I just felt guilty at the end for contributing so little to the project despite my own technical skills. I want to point at the art and say "I did that".
>>289493638Rihito and Noa didn't see it that way, hence why she's part of the group of women that don't listen.
>>289489536This man's words drip with malice.
>>289494928I get noa, but it's rihito too stupid to put 2 and 2 together and realize why she ditched them? The skimpy outfit she gave noa it's pretty telling
>>289492737Depends on the role. My current role already requires me to take messages from people off-hours and I'm fairly good at peacekeeping when it comes to grievances my colleagues have regarding random shit so if management pays enough I'd probably do it.
>>289495041He just saw Negi as being the flighty bitch he knows her to be. Her getting a date and abandoning Noa on a whim is entirely in-character.
>>289489215Kizaki does not deserve all this shitGod, pls dont let the Noa mangaka also get pregant. I need my dosis of girl failure every week.
>>289489215What a fucking bitch
>>28948932910/10 page.
>>289489215>'there's no way this is normal, right'>*latching herself to rihito 24/7 if she could despite not even dating him
I've got a better name for this manga, Josei no Shunkan 女性の瞬間
>>289490547good friends? some people are just more touchy-feely about these things than others. I dunno what to tell you. talking from experience
I usually like Toyotake but he's being an annoying dweeb this chapter. I empathize with Rihito, imagine going out to try to relax to be told you have to work harder by your bossKizaki is cute as always hope we can see her be a maiden and shit
>>289496943>annoying dweebMore like a boss fed up with his AD being a sperg at work and distracting their new hire with her shenanigans while trying to encourage him to get his ass into gear. He has real problems with deal with on top of Noa adding more with her behaviour.
>>289496943tbf kizaki being a stressed drunkard was the start of the management talkhe's just being realistic i think either rihito has to step up or he'll just stay being a modeler for the rest of his career
>>289491183Yeah somewhere around chapter 50 was when Noa started to confront her denial, but she just doubled down, so here we are 70 chapters later.>>289491183Aside from being introverted and shy about nudity, I wonder if he sees sex as filthy, because he's a bit of a clean freak.
>>289496981>distracting their new hire with her shenanigansRihito's been working there for over two years.
>>289496981He didn't set proper boundaries 128 chapters ago, so this is the next best thing.
>>289496943He's always been somewhat of a hardass boss, using his cat smile and easygoing demeanor to deflect from that. Unlike Noa, the other employees, or Kizaki, I got the feeling that Rihito could never really connect with Toyotake because he'd always leave an implication that Rihito needs to do something or advance instead of leaving it at that.
>>289497343he wants rihito to step up fast to handle all the bitches
>>289497083internal hire to a new team
>>289497343His demeanor also works because he's sharp enough to address everyone's concerns and nudge them towards what he wants. Managers without people skills will end up using fear, managers without respect will have to fall back on likability, which gets you taken for granted. I think you need a healthy balance of fear and respect.t. Tradie tardwrangler
>>289497395I just mean that in every interaction he's played the role of "boss", regardless of circumstances. Everyone else plays many different roles and juggling that is like, core of the series. Kizaki is Rihito's immediately supervisor, but here she's a drunk mess that's really no different than Noa, and Rihito is acting more mature than both of them.
>>289497548it's perfectly normal for a boss to not immediately loosen up completely even in the off-work setting, the fact that he could still maintain a boss image while kizaki couldn't is merely because he's just far more experienced. you certainly do not want your subordinates to immediately think you as an equal just because of 1 drinking session.
>>289497647I dunno about you but the bosses I had stopped being bosses when we were off the clock. At things like company parties we were just guys that liked BBQ. While we did joke about work stories at no point did I think my bosses weren't approachable as people. Toyotake takes me as someone that doesn't know how to fully separate work from play, or at least to a reasonable extent.
>>289489152>>289489236>keikaku man's into it nowIt's joever.
>>289489271>M role>S role
>>289492737I want to win the lottery and be able to spend the rest of my life working on random hobby shit while alternating between my winter house in America and my winter house in Australia or Argentina.
>>289498264I'm surprised no one else caught onto that until now.Also, Rihito should definitely focus on being an S since Noa is so good at being an M.
>>289496943Toyotake is not his boss anymore, no?
>>289497791Seems like a matter of circumstance, Kinuya is also one of the more mature members, but we've only seen work-related quirks from her like shipping Noa and Rihito. Doesn't help that work was such a major topic, but it had to be because Kizaki's main problem is being unable to seperate work from her life.
>>289499588I bet Akiyama dresses like this IRL and walks around Shinjuku thinking "nobody knows I draw fat mentally ill girls"
Saw this on my feed today, is there any romance, or is it strictly friend stuff?
>>289499715no romance no matter how much some people screech about it. its basically a fleshed out 4koma
>>289499715it's seinfeld: the manga
>>289499753Sounds comfy, might read it then
>>289499715there is romance but all of it is just subtext. it's a reaaaalll fucking slow burn, the sparks are only now forming
>>289499773the author has also worked a real job because the workplace dynamics are spot-on and the techstacks are accurate.
>>289499641Speak for yourself. Whenever I see a woman dressed like that I think "I bet she draws fat mentally ill girls."
>>289499753>no romanceThere's just a little and it's all one sided, but it's not a romance manga.
>>289492737Yeah. I mean a few years ago I don't think I could have handled it, but I think responsibility is good thing now.
>>289499773It really is comfy most of the time, the dialogue is easy to follow but there's enough subtext and continuity to also keep it interesting, and it can be pretty funny. The past couple chapters have been one "OH SHIT" moment after another, honestly take your time reading and feel free to join us on the dumps, I don't think you'll feel spoilered.>>289499588She's housemaxxing
>>289490547platonic yandere
>>289500610thats yangire
>>289499804Yeah the vidya elements are pretty neat, the way Noa sees things makes me appreciate the work people put into games, even if I don't game much anymore. It also makes me want a cool hip office job with quirky young people who're a regular staple in my life.
Guys, I think Noa lost...
>>289501138holy shit, super big potechi...alright im gonna cope and say their potechi is bigger because they're sharing with friends, noa eats at least a few bags a day so she only goes for the big variety instead of the super big kind
>>289501138This anon >>289501429 is right. Noa may have a just a normal big potechi instead of a SUPER big potechi, but Noa is eating it by herself so she gets a bigger potechi share.
>>289491780She actually apologized on twitter and said she was exhausted from a concert lol. Maybe she'll correct it in a volume, otherwise Rihito is suppressing Tachibana in his mind because of how confused he got when Noa thought he liked her. Live 'bana reaction
>>289501429>>289501552>They think Anna would shareYou guys underestimate Anna's WEIGHT.Funny coincidence that both of them recently claimed their man.
>>289501640The chemicals in big potechi are making our heroines straight
>>289501587Tachibana needs to stop chewing on her own hair or she's gonna go bald.
>>289502328I would still love Tachibana if she did, she has a cute head that's big and round. But I'd guess stuff like that is why her hair's kinda messy
>>289489473>Living the life to the fullest with the NoaSo this is the form of happiness, huh? Kinda warm...
>>289489536kek Toyotake-san is exactly that kind of figure that you will always find in your job, I like him and hate him at the same time
>>289502631>Kinda warm...It's because you're in hell, anon-kun.
>>289489575>>289490547They're still wearing their scarfs so it's safe
>>289502708Huh, right. Sorry Gandhi, I lost myself for a moment
>>289502459Isn't she uncharacteristically... just a little.... thick in this one?
>>289502773I also thought as much at first, Aki's even said she's so used to drawing thick girls, that it's affecting her overall style. But Tachibana dresses modestly or is in gremlin form, so we don't really see her sexualized too often, she's usually doing the sexualizing (lol). Closest manga ref we've got I think
Why do girls named Tachibana seem to need cock to cure their conditions?
>>289489639Man, her voice is going to be so annoying there's no way I'm going to watch it.
Girls named Tachibana need to be tucked between the comforting bosom of girls named Noa Saotome-san aka noako*chang
>kizaki even gets mogged in the tags>>289504087It'll be fine, think of her like a Konosuba girl, especially Aqua
>>289489271>i learned so much from otsuka>i'm so grateful, one day i'll deliberately engineer his sister's jealousy of women in his life to one day molest her
>>289489129>>289489152>>289489215>>289489236>>289489299>>289489386>>289489443look at this man. look at this fucking catfaced man. how does one become so unbothered?
>>289504644When everything is going according to plan.
>>289489129Look at that rascal. She wants it yet she acts innocent, and failing at it.
>>289489152The myth of consensual carrer chasing.
>>289489215Violent slampig!
>>289489329Rihito once again being relateable.
>>289489356Come on, Negiemon ain't that bad.
>>289489386
>>289489443Proper carrer woman... erotic...
>>289489695This author is a menace.
>>289489755I miss her.
>>289505025I know Kizaki's drunk but I think she'd find it cathartic if Noa molested her, all the pressure of having to compete with them washed away by the pleasure of being her sex toy. Sorry, what I was going to say was that she must respect Noa so much that she takes it as a superior asserting themself>>289505081Yeah girls aside, Rihito is actually a big draw for me, he's a specimen in his own right
>>289499641>Grandma with alt girls fashionSEXO
It's obvious that Toyotake is preparing Rihito to take his position in the future. So he'll be able to move into a higher position or retire peacefully.That cat grin hides much more than you would expect.
>>289505224One thing I noticed is that Toyotake's bio doesn't mention a child, maybe he and his wife were workaholics, so it never happened. If corporate culture took their best years, then the least he can do is game a system that played him.
>>289489093>Rihito is shown getting along with coworkers and happy>Noa is consumed by work, depressed and aloneI don't know if Kizaki is projecting or just got a good handle on their personalities
>>289489473Which is why he needs to make Noa pay and bury his cock so far into her she fully resembles the meaty little shishkabab she desperately wants to be
>>289505224I see, so Rihito is the "Omega"...
>>289492737After dealing with coworkers who are absolutely useless and a borderline incompetent upper management, no. I suppose in an ideal work environment with good colleagues it wouldn’t be so bad.
>>289505573>he needs to make Noa payShe already pays so often Rihito thought she was broke and took her out for a meal one time lol. >>289505125It's scary to think about which girl she has the most in common with
>>289489755spoken like a true house
>>289489093Noa-chan would die of a broken heart like a bunnies do.
>>289489215>there's no way this is normal right?Says the woman that is in more close contact with Rihito that with even her own tampons.
>>289506248
The author's fanbox was uploaded to the Kemono replacement
>>289506459kek
For me Toyotaje has been so annoying, why cant he understand that Rihito does not want to be in a management position that he is happy being a simple employee and not dealing with the stress of more work ?Does this guy get a pay raise if he manage to turn new employees into project leaders or something like that ?
>>289506864Scouting talent is part of his work, if no newbies step up the company goes to shit
>>289489180Again? That can't be a coincidence
>>289489056>>289489152>>289489093is this autism?
>>289505586we’ve got it all wrong
I would love to have a friend like Noa and I'm tired of pretending otherwise
>>289507101Worse; a mind shaped by Japanese society
>>289506864>wants to raise new employees to high positions inside the company instead of just hiring externally and leaving all people forever in their initial jobThis nigga a real boss. You should be thankful to ever work under someone like this.
how nice it would feel to have Kizaki cry into your chest after a year of her being mean and demanding as your boss
>>289506781Sweet, what's the replacement? Haven't seen regular kemono updated since the start of the year.
>>289509574Pawchive
>>289506864On one side, it's true that personal preferences matter over many things and you can't force someone to change just because you wanted it. Rihito values his current life and really finds annoying that so many menheras gather around him wanting to change him or assume shit about himOn the other hand, it's also true that we all do (or at least should) grow up and aim to develop in life and our work. Rihito is a young functional adult, yet he still is at that early stage where you feel confortable in your current position and aim to keep at it for 20 years or something, chill work and decent pay hell, i'm at that stage and i'm a 35y late bloomer dumbass , but it's actually childish to think there won't be any more developments in the future.The boss, while extremely chaotic neutral in his methods, it's one of the nicest cases of "help all my junior employees to develop and continue the good work for when we reach the next stage of our lives and i'm out of this shit", both for their sakes and for the sake of the vidya company. In some works you don't even have a guy like this, for better or worse
>>289493736If I pulled Rihito-kun off, would she die?
>>289509058We all would, anon. Getting some nice free meals and expensive gifts every other week for a bit of attention would be grand. If you get tired you can just ignore her messages for a couple of days and once you return she'll shower you with gifts even harder. The risk of getting stabbed is negligible
>>289510384>spoilerMentally unwell hands typed this post.
Kizaki unenthusiastic handjob
>>289489129Just 1 look at Noa would make me believe that they are full of shit and are just hiding it to avoid conflict of interest, she simple sucks at hiding it
>>289511744Yea right, she'd tryhard that shit and fuck it up so bad she'd tear your frenulum
>>289512188https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r3IHDr7M2s
>>289505090She manhandled him and forced him to eat a bunch of meat
>>289511400Does that look like a creature capable of stabbing to you?
>>289513579>he doesn't know
>>289513587
>>289492737only if it's a boomer style one where you literally do absolutely nothing and get a 100k bonus every year and never show up in the office
>>289489093am I the only one who finds her more attractive than the cockblock gremlin?
>>289513579GIWTWM
>>289506459That's the face of a girl who will run the strip into the ground.
never read this. does he fuck the short stack?
>>289513921Yes, in fact I hope she joins rihito's or both harem.She'll warm up to him once he start proving himself and the whole fainting on him might be because she's already into him.
>>289490547just say she's your mentally disabled cousin should clear all suspicions
>>289514218No, the mc has the sex drive of an oak tree
>>289492737No, but unfortunately I was born for it. It's easier to manage in some jobs where the actual managers are more on top of it or people are more silo'd off, but when I was younger I had problem with retail jobs where the other chuckle fucks just wouldn't do even the base level of organizing with each other, so I had to do it just to make my life easier. Next thing I know, I'm getting bumped up the management ladder. Got out of there quickly after that.
>>289490547Emotional dependence. I'd say co-dependence, but Rihito's not quite there (yet).
>>289489329>Getting a job with more workplace responsibilities?>No, I don't want that!>I want to slide by as a lower level worker! For ten years, at least!
>>289512593And he liked it!
>>289513579Yes>>289514461kek>Rihito, thank you. You became a team leader for our sake...
>>289510384>spoilerIdk anon, I know it didn't happen with previous boyfriends, but what if one is the straw that broke the camel's back?
>>289512188Ok, BJ it is.
>>289509630I didn't find anything, am I doing something wrong, I am looking for akiyama enma on https://pawchive.pw
>>289515241Don’t use English, her name is in Japanese
>>289492737Normally I would, but with the company I work for no way in hell. When I started my current job I told my boss I was hoping to move up the ladder and now she's prepping me to take her position if she ever moves up. I'm regretting it now after I've seen all the shit she deals with and the level above her deals with. The money isn't worth it.
>>289515276thanks man, it seems that she posts 3d modeling as well, it shows why she has so much insight on the matter
Noa really isn't breeding material right now, because of all the drinking she does. She'd be too impulsive to endure a pregnancy without medicine either
>>289516330True, she'd probably kill the kid with all the stuff she'd ingest. I'd still repeatedly pump her full of cum if she were on birth control though.
>>289515276where can I buy one of these
>>289515241Here you go my nigger https://pawchive.pw/fanbox/user/6512072
>>289516683I don't even know if it's a bootleg or not, try to search on amiami or try to ask in /buyfag/
>>289516988anon, I...that's from the author's fanbox, I think she made it
>>289517335Even if she didn't there's plenty of people making their own figs. This is another example of someone who made their own
>>289513579Women are chameleons.
>>289517335Oh nice!
i want to sex this old woman
>>289492737I work night shift security. I am willing to do almost anything to keep it for as long as humanly possible.
>>289506864Sometimes failing to step up can result in you getting a new boss who is way less qualified for the position than you are, who can make your life much less comfy than if you had taken responsibility. He's trying to protect Rihito from having to work under ANOTHER mentally unstable woman in the future.
In other girlfailure news, Sumire's author is no longer a girl failure as she's gone on break to take care of her newborn.
>>289519032it's funny how ryo got the scoop earlier before the author herself announcing the birth
>>289509169>This nigga a real boss. You should be thankful to ever work under someone like this.Sometimes the pressure is too big but I'm glad to have worked with someone who pushes you to your limits

>>289519032>moms>immune to girlfailurehoodshe has the possibility to ascend to girldisaster

>>289519217>cousin impregnation arcYES!!
>>289519032>girlfailureGo back.
>>289489292>>289507004Noa made a huge blunder by reacting to Kizaki the first time around. Now, even if Kizaki doesn't consciously realize it, she's been instinctively primed to see Rihito's attention as another field to compete with Saotome. It's already ogre.
>>289519610Ironic.
>>289519654I wish Akiyama Enma spoke English so she could read these threads and steal /a/nons' ideas
>>289520693Japanese people can use translators too.
>>289521080Either way I'd be surprised if she went out of her way to see how her English-speaking fans talk about her work, let alone cared2chan exists \_(ツ)_/ ̄
>>289489575>Makes you improve and go up your career>Sets you up with the big booba career womanI needed a mentor like this...
>>289491883Anon...
>>289513579Noa could easily fulfill these three conditions in the (wrong) state of mind.
>>289521165lmao lets just link every new thread to her on twitter til she blocks all of us
>>289520693the last thing a creative needs to do is listen to fans
I'd risk it.

>>289521766But what if we're right
>>289522746If 'we' are right then she'll end up doing it regardless.

kizaki's big but firm tits or noa's bigger but flabby titsi know my pick
Here's a question, who would you have children with?>Kizaki>Will give you a healthy child but 100% chance of autism>Noa>50% chance she drinks during pregnancy, otherwise the child will come out healthy
>>289522108Auntie
>>289525527Reni's future sister
Guys..
>>289526849>you actually do>they still hit you with thisThat's why you don't date menheras
>>289524830>>289526849>>289527608Many of these problems can be solved by being a man. Just keep her in line.
>>289528892>i can fix menherayou just issued her a challenge
>>289504672i meant the other one, this one is clearly bothered he doesn't have a manager for a prospective time his bosses want him to form
>>289523500We've seen Noa topless a bunch of times and they look very firm.We've never seen Kizaki topless.
>>289531871I bet she's a medium A cup and uses a padded bra
>>289531871>We've never seen Kizaki topless.let's hope that changes
Only little sisters can fuel a man's desire to climb up the corporate ladder.
>>289489421I need that little Noa going "No way! That's awesome" edited standalone, it's too precious
