Kono Kaisha ni Suki na Hito ga Imasu - Vol. 2 Ch. 13 - Love's Providence

The ideal woman is one who knows when the workaholic in us is going overboard and demands to pamper you.

Tell me I'm wrong.
 
Thank you for the chapter. It is such a wonderful feeling when somebody cares and thinks about you. This reminded me of a warm memory so thanks once more.
 
Thanks for the translation!

One thing I notice tho is why are they using calculators and calculating manually 😱😱😱😱

This is a recent manga right?
This is like a new type of horror movie
 
@ur_neighbor Lmao @ horror movie. I'm not sure if that's typical in Japan, but I do know they still make very heavy usage of fax machines (which we still do to an extent in the US, but I'm pretty sure it's nowhere close to Japan in that regard).
 
@Short_Circut Smartphones are much more prevalent at this point, but yup, definitely way more flip phones than you'd expect. I love the phones that kind of harken back to the glory days of flip phones and the like— there were so many creative form factors back then. At least LG is bringing it back with stuff like the LG Wing though. Also, Japanese toilets sure are amazing, aren't they?
 
Oh man, this chapter hits home. Office work sucks especially when your workmates don't notice how much work you're doing and they ask you to help them with their work.
A bit frustrating, but when you have a work friend who notices and helps you out, it makes everything feel better 😭
Now I'm the senior in my office, hopefully I can be at least half the person my senior was to me.
 
Japan is in 2040 in some cases and stuck in 2001 I'm others. Case in point: manual calculation, fax, flip phones...
 
Ok, commercial engineer here, with knowledge of accounting and managing.

The thing with manual calculators is that they're more comfortable, reliable and quicker when you're working with printed numbers, which as we can see he has to do every day; not to mention the mental security that doing things "the old way" brings. It's common practice to use the computer and its accounting programs like Excel, but that's for when you have the digital data with you and/or need a copy for saving your progress, so when you have printed papers, physical bills or old-fashioned checks to work with, then making your calculations by using the computer would be tremendously odd, specially if you only need the numbers and will write it manually later.

It's like asking why there are people who still use bikes when we've got motorbikes now, or using sail boats when we have yatchs.
 
@gregger Good luck being a good senpai \(^o^)/.

@VladDracul2 Always nice to get an informative comment like this. Seriously though, why does anyone bike when we've got electric bikes :p (not actually serious). But in actual seriousness, there's some logic behind the continued use of fax machines and flip phones too, of course. On a barely-related note I knew someone that preferred an abacus for all their calculations.
 
Cold IRL: Oh no! *gulps meds* Anyway...

Cold in manga: gO tO a HoSpItAl
