>>290458505
IIRC from reading several chapters of this, the kana writing of her name is her professinal name, so she has a complex about people using it instead of using the kanji writing because they're only self her as an actress and not as "Ayano". Which is all well and good, except it makes no fucking sense that she can distinguish between the two when someone is actually speaking as opposed to writing her name.
>>

You need to be japanese to understand
>>
>>290458645
If it were played for comedy it would be fine. Spider-Man knowing when someone is saying his name without the hyphen is funny. But the manga wants me to take it seriously as part of the drama and I refuse to entertain that bullshit.
>>
>>290458473
>>290458583
You're taking it too literally, Ayano is good at reading people so she can tell the difference when someone's treating her as a coworker/actress versus when they're treating her as a friend/family, the kanji vs kana is just an easy way to convey that in manga
>>
>>290458781
If you want a literal explanation, it might be something as simple as an intonation thing, AHyano vs. aYAno. The stressed syllable could be different between her full government and professional persona, hence the reason to use Hiragana for her name, since it would free up the intonation implied from the Kanji.

But honestly, that's more than is necessary, because it could also just be that because Ayano is particularly emotionally perceptive and can tell when someone is referring to her business persona rather than her as a person. Jaga does a lot of these nods to the reader's omnipresence to guide you into how she wants you to look at a given interaction.

Brother, imagine if there was a paparazzi recording this. Did he not learn anything from the Akari fiasco
>>
>>290462452
Akari was a gravure idol so incels were mad at her touching a man, Ayano doesn't have that kind of fanbase
>>
>>290462877
Yeah, Akari had the "pure, virginal gyaru" reputation, and otaku are so possessive that even the slightest apparent seam in that reputation can implode careers. Isshiki has been pretty clearly pushing Ayano's career away from that trajectory so she actually has options to live her life as she sees fit.

it would be far more interesting if they continue to work together until she's an adult. too many of these stories end the way you described. it's a cop-out "I can't come up more elaborate story" ending.

>>290473752
That's what I'm hoping. What I think will happen is that he doesn't see her as a child anymore therefore he'll be pushing her even harder. Ayano is in for some pain whether it's due to her hymen tearing or Fumi becoming really distant while pushing (possibly unintentionally exploiting) her.
>>
>>290473824
>unintentionally
last 2 pages are him basically declaring that he's not going to see her as a little girl anymore and instead view her solely as a vessel for her acting talent. during the consulting session, shiraki asks him whether or not he wants to continue on as ayano's manager for her sake, the company's sake or what is to be implied to be fumi's own sake, but fumi cuts him off before shiraki can say the last one, because it's the correct answer.

And what does it have to do with criticizing shitty, half-assed endings, in the form of the main characters cutting all contact, and then miraculously reuniting after many years, just for the sake of blind compliance with the shitty, modern moral standards? Just how real do you think an outcome like this would be IRL? Most long distance relationships fail, because of the limited contact, and in case of such an ending, there is no contact in the meantime at all. Even if reuniting after years, then realistically after what else? The female likely being with some other man in the meantime? The entire concept of getting with a pure woman, likely goes to shit, and with it the original appeal of the romance. At the very least(in case of not secretely breaking the law), properly resolving this would mean the older man and younger woman/girl, gradually get closer over the course of years, in an orderly fashion, carefully, not to cause career ending social outrage, but also remaining in close contact, aware of each other feelings, with clear intent to ultimately end it with a marriage.
>>
>>290472929
>goddamn my nigga isshiki is an EARNER. Not only that, but seo is WORTHLESS.
What's the issue with Seo?
>>
>>290474517
the spreadsheet tracks monthly revenue per manager and, in order, they are shiraki, tsutsui, isshiki, and seo. you can see that isshiki typically makes at least double what shiraki and tsutsui each do in a typical month and that seo has, in her first month, only managed to make a tenth of what tsutsui or shiraki brought in for november. she is literally a whole place value behind.
>>
>>290474437
>the main characters cutting all contact, and then miraculously reuniting after many years, just for the sake of blind compliance with the shitty, modern moral standards?
Name ten manga that end that way
>>
>>290474118
people are too caught up in the will they/won't they get caught/stay together that they have not considered that it is entirely possible that isshiki fucks up enough to emotionally scar/disillusion ayano but not enough to drive her out of the entertainment industry or away from him or ruin her earning potential, and that the story could just end with them in this awful unconsummated codependent relationship where in spite of their career and financial success, neither of them (particularly ayano) have any chance of happiness together or even apart. or perhaps isshiki could be satisfied with himself knowing that he has satisfied the career needs of あやの (the actress) in spite of completely trampling over the emotional needs of 文乃 (the actual human being) -- in a sense, kind of similar to but at the same time very different from what happened with akari. like in the end they could totally beat the company, hoshi, the views of society, etc and still not end up together because of fumi's fundamental flaws as a person.

based on the conclusion of this chapter he is so on track to fuck up her whole soul like that
>>
>>290473998

Whatever the cause, both Shiraki and probably the president know that handing Ayano back to her former manager is likely to result in a hit in revenue. And whether Fumi can handle other talent is anyone's guess. They're stuck together whether they like it or not.

An accountant at a talent management firm is given a temporary promotion as the substitute agent for the company's star client, a precocious 13 year old child actress.

>>
>>290522352
>but I don't know what the fuck is going on with Fumi anymore.
He figured out Ayano puts an act in front of most adults even when she's not playing a role, he knows the stunt she pulled last chapter was an act but she did show a bit of her real emotions there too and he wants to see more of the real Ayano, if it's for her own good, for her career or the company or for himself remains to be seen
>>
>>290522769
I know, but "4 months, eh?" doesn't sound rhetorical. If you're a stickler for the question mark, can always just add "you know?" at the end.
>>
>>290522317
Thanks anon
>>
>>290522066
>but I don't really see the good in changing her environment,
I think this should be "but we shouldn't change her environment just now." I think the nuance of 「環境を変えるのは今ではないんじゃなうかって」 leaves room for her to eventually be returned to Morioka in future , especially since most of Isshiki's argumentative force comes from the importance of the next 4 months.

>I must consult with Miss Morioka before I do anything else.
This feels kind of stiff? People don't use "must" in typical English conversation and I think for this specific line, Shiraki is supposed to come off as pretty flippant, given the ~. This moment is supposed to contrast with the one immediately succeeding, which shows cynical his implied thought process actually is + him actually opening his for once. I also think the とも as opposed to と implies Isshiki will be looped in on the conversation, and that it's not just Shiraki and Morioka that will be speaking.
"For one thing, don't we have to speak with Miss Morioka?"
>>290522317
>He actually snorts when he laughs...
鼻で笑う has the connotation of snorting and being dismissive. Seo's not pointing out that Isshiki is a snorter in general, but that he's being oddly (from her perspective) dismissive of the idea of a normal (from her perspective) thirteen year-old acting like a normal thirteen year old.

>It's not my place to say this, but-
I think "it's not my place" implies that Isshiki really cares about Ayano's autonomy and how she chooses to perform, but isn't the actual reason why he can't talk about アレ (ayano blanco, her true potential as an actress) that it would open up a whole can of worms regarding how she's inappropriately attached to him? Like the reason why he saw her true power level in the first place is that he confronted her over having feelings for him.
>you know?
だろ is Isshiki's line. "I know, right?"
>>
>>290522963
Yeah more like
>It's still 4 months, you know?
>>290523045
>This feels kind of stiff? People don't use "must" in typical English conversation and I think for this specific line, Shiraki is supposed to come off as pretty flippant
You're right, he's not really the stuffy businessman that'd speak so formally despite being his boss.

>Perhaps it's selfish of me to think this way,
>but-
>although I can only wonder what might happen if the real her stepped in front of the camera,
>I can't help but be the one who would want to see it happen.
>>
>>290523045
I thought about it some more and I've realized that I've completely overthought「環境を変えるのは今ではないんじゃないかって」. I fixated on the 「んじゃない」(should not) but when I really think about it, the sentence is:
「あの子の環境を変えるのは今ではない」(We're not going to change her environment just now)
「んじゃないかって」(emphatic rhetorical question marker)

"We're not going to change her environment right now, are we?"
(which follows from the preceding arguments, that she's a) at an important point in her career and b) a child at a stressful development stage, puberty)
>>290523206
Fumi thinks 「俺が言えたことじゃないけど」"It's not something I can say"

What I'd probably go with is "It's not something I can say out loud, but I can only wonder what would happen if she showed acting like *that* in front of a camera. In the end, I guess I want to see."

>>290527905
>>290529617
It’s not about who’s right and wrong between him and Akari.
The whole point of the flashback was to demonstrate that Fumi is a massive cunt-tease with zero clue as how to properly handle his professional or personal relationships with women in particular and thus provide context for his relationship with Ayano.
If he cared enough about his job, then he shouldn’t have got inappropriately close to a talent in the first place, and failing that, if he’d actually cared about Akari then he’d have been there for her when the chips were down.
Instead he was a wishy washy cowardly dipshit that lost both the career and the woman and then nearly his life, and it is cleanly his failing in that regard.
And to give fair blame where it’s due, on Akari’s end sure she shouldn’t have jeopardized her colleague’s career just because she was lonely and clearly sick and tired of her own career and seemed to be looking for an out. But at least she was committed to being Fumi’s ride or die if only he reciprocated.
Just consider that Fumi could have had both a smoking hot ex model as a wife and the relatively chill job he has now at the talent agency if only he’d played his cards right, but of course he didn’t or else we wouldn’t have had a story.

Well, that's the thing - he DID care about her, but he was a fucking coward. The most important thing about the Akari incident was that he KNEW that he was all she had left, even if they weren't an item. She had no friends, no family, and when she begged him for help on the worst day of her life he ignored her and buried his head in the sand with the bullshit excuse of "it would be worse for her if I got involved". He knew what he was doing was wrong but he did it anyway. He deserves no sympathy for how he acted.

Alright, this confirms it. Isshiki thinks the dispassionate, career-focused Ayano is the real Ayano and all the lovesick puppy behavior she does around him is the "acting." He's been seduced by the illusion, summoned by Ayano in desperation to keep him around, thinking it real.

Ending up with the jaded BPD bitch who visibly hates you and only tolerates you because her dad likes you isn't a good ending.

Any relationship he had with Akari would have been over once she was sufficiently recovered from her father's death. Fumi made the right call in rejecting her advances and refusing to be her emotional tampon.

>Just consider that Fumi could have had both a smoking hot ex model as a wife and the relatively chill job he has now at the talent agency if only he’d played his cards right
He didn't want her, that's the entire point. And her crush on him was vain, she instantly and completely cut him off after learning he was never thinking with his dick, and only came back when she didn't have any other option left.
On the other hand, ironically, Ayano's crush is genuine and she does everything to make it work - despite its doomed nature. She, at least, has a chance in the future depending on how Jaga decides to write the story.
