Chapter 138, the day after Valentine's. Also there's some new info about the anime.
>>291556276Looks like Kizaki isn't that interested...
Rihito is so real...
>>291556332
Last page.
>>291556185If it wasn't for the hug, this would be such a good panel to use as a reaction image.
>>291556464Everything really is going according to this man's keikaku
Kawaguchi Rina is voicing NoaItou Tomoya is voicing Rihito
>>291556675>Kawaguchi voiced Purple LollipopI'm tentatively optimistic.
>Rihito is now permafucked by having women witnesses to him touching another woman in the workplaceJust quit and find a new job, you're never going to go anywhere at that company any more. The sword of Damocles has been set in motion and HR will punish the stupid moid for daring to step out of line
>>291556464>hearts surrounding Kizaki as wellTrust the plan.
>>291556675"Noa-senpai is my friend." #1 (voiced by Machico and Haruki Ishiya)I wonder if the youtube VAs had a shot or just didn't want to continue
>>291556185Since Choco he hasn't had such a display of FEELINGS and EMOTIONS.
>>291556513I tried
>>291556899Thanks, anon!
>>291556871I wouldn't be surprised if at least Noa was a nepotism pick. Akiyama was gushing about Needy Girl Overdose while it aired and Kawaguchi voiced one of the main characters.
>>291556253>momo-tanNo one has noticed this?Kizaki is Momo-tan now.
>>291556110Jap companies have dedicated nap rooms?
>>291557095Extremely common thing in tech companies to have a lot of amenities and encouragements to stay at the office to guilt/trick employees into working the most hours possible.
>>291556276>willingly gives the ball to noaGet yr head in the game Momone!!
>>291557167Momo only wants a competent employee so her monthly reports make her appear like a good team leader so she can climb the ladder. She has no emotions or feelings for Rihito besides manipulating him to produce more output.
>>291556412>>291556433Top kek. You go, Rihito, my hero. Fuck those Power-of-Friendship bullshit moments.
>>291556675>Kawaguchi Rina Nico in Witch Watch. Amazing.
>>291556433her lips are moving but the tits are the ones saying it
>>291556064Either a small tub or big Noa.
>>291556129The changes in her face is funny.
>>291556152I can't believe Rihito touches younger girls as well!
>>291556064>Smoking NoaHot.
Interns exist to receive older employee headpats
>>291556229Rihito's poker face sucks.
>>291556412CRITICAL HIT
H*gging an H*adpatting every female co-worker you come across is actually a bad thing
>>291556306Noa...
>>291556384RENI!!!
>>291556498>Editor's blurbAGAIN!?
>>291557916sasuga tits
>>291556498This was the last chapter of the volume (I think 14). So volume 15 is starting with Rihito x Kizaki. It’ll set the tone for the new volume since she writes considering the whole volume at once.
>>291556675Rihito IRL.
>>291558324I hope we can see more of Kizaki's secret maiden mode
>>291556091Noa loves that scarf.
>>291556332>>291556384>>291556412>>291556433Noa is really perfect for him. She does get him deeply. Rihito's wall keep crumbling lately...
How much of the story do you guys think the anime will cover?
>>291559390>ZurikishiI love it when titty artists draw other titty artists' girls.
>>291559970>story about a seemingly mature career woman working at a company in a position of management that's secretly an alcoholic emotional mess being found out by a male subordinate and slowly building up a relationship with himIn broad stokes, it's a pretty similar premise.
>>291558067Noa is a big tub.
>>291561116Rude.
>>291557233Then she should tell him not to be embarrassed for holding her hand, and that he can hold hands with her whenever he wants.
>>291562132*slaps Noa's belly*>This fat girl can fit so much potechi!
>>291556675>Itou Tomoya is voicing RihitoHis most well known role before this is probably his performance as Asagaki Tougo/Kizuna Red from Sentai Red Isekai
All it takes is 1 anonymous report to HR telling them that Rihito was seen making female employees uncomfortable and the ensuing investigation would have him homeless and permanently black listed from the industry.
>>291563398He just needs to sound dejected, not that demanding. But the anime will live or die depending on Noa's screeches.
>>291563430I meant that as a complement, since I'm just glad to see the guy get another lead role. He did good work as Red
>>291563408This is Japan, not California.
Reminder Noa has to sound cuter than thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR0VOusVIq8
Is this harem or just bait? Thought it was just MC and the cover girl, now I'm seeing multiple girls involved. Why can't these writers just focus on one girl?
>>291563729It's harembait. Rihito would be completely opposed to the idea of having a harem. The idea that he would have one comes only from Noa being insane and Hayase being a pervert, each on their own.
>>291563729There's not really a harem. The closest is the most recently introduced leader of the team he got transferred too, but even there there's no real even implied interest either way.The other girls are>lesbian obsessed with the heroine and thus hates the hero>brocon overly obsessed with her older brother who isn't good with affection any more>brocon's best friend who loves to tease her and similarly likes to poke at the brother but has no genuine interest in himThere's girls, but no harem.
>>291563729There's not even one girl, it's not a romcom, it's a com
>>291563729This is a gag manga/slice of life, it's not a romcom.
>>291556675>>291563478>No more Machico voicing NoaIm actually sad. I got really used to her Noa from these voiced PVs and with how Noa always is in the manga now, I really wanted them to keep her as Noa's VA. I dont know how Rina Kawaguchi sounds like cause the only VA work of note shes done seems to be Nico from Witch Watch and I didnt watch that show.
>>291563729It's just Noa
>>291563729It'snot romance, they're only super duper bestest friends!
>>291556185And this is how Rihito turns into an alcoholic. Only way this eases up for him is if the girls collectively tell him they didn’t mind the touchy feely friendliness
>>291563994>it's not a romcom
>>291565609You got a problem with that?
>>291556152She needs correction and Rihito should provide it in white day
>>291565609Correct. Not all girlfailure mangas are romcoms
>>291563729No harem
>>291565926It will be harem again!
>>291565804That one explicitly is though.
>>291556306>>291556332Whether Rihito was drinking low alcohol beer or Noa putting high alcohol level drink into the chocolate
>>291567446Noa put a really high level alcohol in the chocolate. He got super drunk super quick.
>>291556332How the hell is Noa instantly spot on with this and then in denial about everything else. This was resolved in literally 1 chapter and it is taking a 100 for this farce of>we're just going to have friendship sexto be over.
>>291567735>and it is taking a 100 for this farce of>>we're just going to have friendship sex>to be over.>He thinks sex is actually gonna happen
>>291567844They've already talked about "friendship" marriage anon. Friendship sex is just around the corner. Then friendship pregnancy.
Kizakibros??
>>291567923>They'veI didn't realize Noa was more than one person.
>>291568005Anon are you a little slow?
>>291567923Don’t be foolish anon, artificial friendship insemination will come before friendship sex.
>>291566445Nah, it's comedy with sprinkles of other stuff
It's not a romcom, it's a friendcom
>>291564479She voiced Ai in Dark Gathering, too. I do remember liking her voice in that show. I actually found a little demo reel-type video on YT if you're curious and haven't seen that one either.https://youtube.com/watch?v=MEw1eRAJmFc
Akiyama is going to get horny one day and draw the sex chapter. It's inevitable.
>>291567995wow, I can't believe the creator misunderstands and fucked up her own manga this poorly
>>291568321Sure wish I had big booby friend to head pat.
>>291567995It’s a red herring to lower our guard for next chapter where Kizaki falls in love. Trust the plan bros
>>291567995Does that imply she'll actually end up dating Rihito?
>>291556412>There's nothing embarrassing about expressing your love to others!ENTER
>>291563729the first girl / cover girl wins type
>>291569883The soothsayer who BTFOs girly boys
By chapter 999 Rihito might finally get a lucky pervert grope of her thighs IRLSlutty Noa's pervert fantasies and dreams don't count
>>291569940Didn't that already happen just a few chapters ago when he was helping her with poses for her art.
>>291569883Whomst
>>291569940anon...
>>291570043That little kid that passes by and blurts out a critical hit while his mother hurries him away.
>>291556064they can't put her in punk clothes jeeze she's too much of a marshmallow
>>291570714Noa could never pull this off
>>291570757 shit, i didn't think anyone else was reading that one. the dynamic's pretty cute
>>291570804Unironically one of the best adult romcoms out right now, but people gotta be little bitches about the quirk.
>>291570757Yeah Noa could never look like a boy.
>>291568439What is she misunderstanding?
>>291567995THIS IS HOW KIZAKI CAN STILL WIN
>>291570937>but people gotta be little bitches about the quirkHrmm, wonder which of /a/'s usual triggers that could be?>that oneOh, sure. Not my bag either, really, but yeah, anons get skittish about it.
>>291570757Thank god for that, this looks vomit inducing.
>>291565609"Trust the plan anons" setting themselves up for disappointment Nr. 99157.
>>291570130she masturbated to that later
>>291556064fatass
>>291556064sex with fishnet and heels on
>>291563916Reni definitely killed this kid years later. He's the reason she won't get love squeezed anymore.
>>291568415While having sex and getting pregnant afterward!
>>291556464>>291556498Is Toyotake's plan to get the females to go on maternity leave?
>>291567923Is it just me, or are most of the characters virgins aside from Negi and the senior staff?
>>291574326He's received a mandate from the Japanese government to help re-introduce workplace romances
>>291573565Kek. Would Noa gladly receive headpats from anybody, or do they have to be from special friends?
>>291575406>>>291573565>Kek. Would Noa gladly receive headpats from anybody, or do they have to be from special friends?Noa is aparently very very easy to court, you only need to compliment her a little for her to get attatched to you. We really need an arc where another male employee from that company really tries to fuck Noa to see how Rihito would react now.
I dropped this like 5 0chapters ago, did ANYTHING meaningful happen since then?
>>291575768Rihito got transferred to another department with a strict but sexy manager who is actually emotionally vulnerable.>>291575530Isn’t that getting close to an NTR plotline?
>>291565804source?
>>291556152I love glasses girl so much, bros
>>291557164This. Basically, if your office resembles a home, your boss expects you to live there.
>>291560177A woman who draws menhera and a man who draws enormous tits had the same basic idea and ran with it in their own ways. Both play to their strengths without falling into some of the over-the-top excesses of their earlier work. Both are adorable.
>>291563994No one's buying it, Rihito.
>>291576139My home doesn't have a ball pit, pinball machines or pool tables, so I'm safe.
>>291576655The tech startup manchild cage is just the least subtle example of this practice. 'The Internship' is one of the worst fucking movies ever made.
>>291575948>>291507801
>>291575894>NTR plotline?It would be, but Enma's kinks are a lot more convoluted than that.
>>291563842>>lesbian obsessed with the heroine and thus hates the heroNah, I wouldn't call her that>>291575894>>291576820I don't understand why you people don't understand what NTR is. That wouldn't even be close to NTR
>>291578752Genuinely thought that was Noa with a daughter.
>Akiyama reposted this comicwhat did she mean by this
>>291578803Rihito's genes will overpower Noa's and their daughter will cling to dad and make house-shaped NUUUUs when mom wants her headpat time
>>291578846Noa seems like the type who'd fight her daughter for attention
Could you bear the burden of being Noa's boyfriend/husband?
>>291578878fist fight
>>291560177I haven't caught up in a while, the story seemed to be stuck on its own laurels content to keep the same cycle going without progress, I don't like that.
If not friend, then why friend shaped?
>>291580894But she is a tomodachi. It's in the title.
>>291580894Not friend shaped, not friend shaped at all.
>>291556152Tachibana's is built to be a tsundere
>>291580894Sex shaped
>>291556899Perfect. Good shit, anon.
>>291565804>girlfailure
>>291580894milk coded
>>291567995Noa is winning the friendbowl, Kizaki is winning the wifebowl, trust the plan
If Noa is friend, why sex for the purposes of procreation shaped?
>>291583307Because homeless men want to spread their seed too. Kizaki and Rihito will worry about their missing co-worker as they have family dinner.
Noa is sexshaped
Noa is special best friend shaped.
>>291556059rihito's head doesnt fit his body imo, he should've been slimmer
>>291586316That's pretty much what he looks like in the manga.
>>291586454Cute family protrait
>>291583307>for the purposes of procreation>With NoaYou will regret this.
>>291586316my point still stands, though he looks marginally better in the manga
>>291574326>One of them became one of the youngest ADs on any game>the other is their taskmaster on one of their higher profile IPsAnd the guy wants them gone for nine months? Is he nuts?
>>291587003He's playing the long game, he wants future industry supersoldiers loyal to his company once he becomes CEO. Plus if he gets Noa pregnant it forces Noa to gain structure and Rihito to gain ambition if they want any chance at stability.
>>291583320rihito is homeless because his hand has no head to pat, no home to rest on
>>291559390it will end when they become special best friends, up until that point you could argue this was just a friendship comedy, after that chapter it was clear these two ending together was end game
>>291571995you mean the no-romance guys right?this mangaka is a romcom brain the manga will end at chapter 500 with Noa pushing out the fifth brat while talking about "friendship pregnancy" or some shit
>>291556871Likely never had a shot. Most of the time, the vomic / youtube PVs and the official anime always have different VAs for whatever reasonI assume it's because the studio and whoever runs the vomic stuff have different criteria for who they want
>>291587857He could easily rest it on Reni's lap all he wants but he's too much of a homo because he's still influenced by that little faggot who told him to knock it off in the past.
>>291556675>Kawaguchi Rinahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEw1eRAJmFcLooks like she is a very young talent and sounds so fucking annoying and i mean in a good way. I just hope she makes Noa sound a lil more grown up
>>291587003Where do you live that gives nine months of maternity leave? I’m already bracing for the three months my coworker is gonna be gone early next year, goodness knows she’s the only other productive colleague in the office.
>>291589234But Noa looks like a brat and acts like a brat. She should sound like one as well.
>>291590256but she's 29...
>>291591358... out of 10
>>291591819That’s pretty high
Now it's about menhera girl trying to fix suppress emotion MC
>>291556412i still can't get over the murderous look in his sister's eyesshe probably beat the crap out of that kid who called them embarassing
>>291593179Losing the love squeeze does that you.
>>291593433>>291593433Has noa meet his sister yet?
read chapter 89
>>291593179I hope she did.
>>291593608fuck
>>291592722Damn straight.
>>291590256>But Noa looks like a brat and acts like a braTBut her carreer woman mode cant sound like a brat.This young lady should at least be able to give the ara ara vibe to Noa when she is introduced.God, OG Noa was so best.
We need Kizaki to take her clothes off
>>291593702
>>291593529Yea, multiple times and each time Reni NUUUUUUUs
>>291595568tomorrow it will all be revealed
I trust in Enma. Noa WILL win his friendship and Kizaki will EARN her marriage to him.
>>291597149But Kizaki doesn't want to be with Rihito.
>>291597272Cope more, Noa.
>>291556091I like the mob characters in the subway giving her sideeye
>>291556433>a few words won't make this shame go away so easilyliterally me
>>291564479Machico doing menhera is kind of amazing. I need more of that.
Porn soon
>>291559049>She does get him deeply. Rihito's wall keep crumbling lately.If she wasn't a mentally ill mess rihito would have fallen for her long ago. Funnily enough if rihito was a little bit more affectionate noa would have admitted her love as well. They have a lot to improve
>>291599679His wall will crumble and then she will shatter his heart
>>291594349>OG Noa was so best.She existed for less than one chapter.
>>291594349>Noa but without all the fun including the menhera sexWhat's the point?
>>291599679Cue fortune teller.
what would happen if she started working at the office?
>>291600574Noa would be scared of her but she already has her man so she wouldn't be a threat. Also she'd get fired within a week.
>>291571585what is it
>>291601743It's a manga about crossdressing. Not only the heroine dresses like a punk, the male lead wears frilly dresses. Apparently people not being into that makes them "little bitches".
>>291599545There’s already a few pieces on the boorus if you take a look
I can’t even imagine Noa losing
Reminder that Reni doesn't receive brotherly love headpat while Noa and Mika did
>>291605294Mika is the devil
>>291605294She should get Rihito's cock as compensation.
>>291605294All of Reni's back-owed love squeezes went straight to Noa and now new ones are being used up by co-workers.
>>291599864>She existed for less than 1 chapterAnd that is a crime against humanity.
>>291607646I do wonder how Noa-senpai would've played out if Enma had gone the drama route rather than the comedy route.
>>291607942>I do wonder how Noa-senpai would've played out if Enma had gone the drama route rather than the comedy route.pretty sure she can always put the drama route since we have both rihito's and noa's childhood traumas lurking in the shadows whenever she wants something new
Rigitos has big hands
>>291599864>She existed for less than one chapter.OG Noa sometimes comes back
>>291608248Enma very clearly chooses when to deliberately focus on hands. Usually they’re not especially well drawn, but Rihito gets yaoi hands when grasping Noa.
>>291608486The occasional focus on big hands is one of the biggest indicators that Akiyama is a woman.
>>291608513Enma being a woman wasn’t ever really in question outside of schizos. Too many things about Noa’s behavior could only have come from a woman.
>>291609277Reni is so mean, what can be done about her
>>291610074She needs a non-blood related boyfriend.
>>291610085>non-blood relatedNo.
>>291608305That's a maternity dress
>>291610085Best we can do is give her Mika, at least then Reni’s tears won’t be going to waste.
>>291610609Come to think of it, how many of Reni's potential relationships has Mika ruined?
>>291610921Likely every single one, since one look at Mika is enough to let any suitor go AWOOOGA and drop Reni like she's a dog turd.
>>291611347Has Reni caught onto it yet?
If we get just one moment of Kizaki being a bashful maiden I’ll be happy
