Thanks for the updates!!

 

[versub]

I thought she quit her job before moving to Osaka. What's this about using paid leave?
Is she using her paid leave while serving her resignation notice

 

[phosphylite]

@versub I was wondering about that too, but I think you're right in that she's using the rest of her paid leave before she's officially out of the company

Ha ha, work-life balance, what's that? Is it tasty?

 

[BCS]

I bet every blue collar job in Japan has great work-life balance

But that's only for "poors" amirite

 

[AnimefangirlX]

So job-seeking pressure/failure to find a job led her to depression, which caused her to become a shut-in? That sucks.

 

[MacMeaties]

Work... life... balance? You mean that thing we can't have because modern working hours are still predicated on the antiquated post war assumption of the unpaid labour of a stay at home spouse despite price inflation having got to the point that most households require dual income? That work life balance? HAAAAAAA!!!!

 

[themoobz]

haha that's me except im all alone now and then

 

[chonkury]

Every time I read this I keep expecting to be a bit depressed because it's relatable, but instead I'm relieved because it's relatable. Somehow the comedy really does balance out the heavier stuff.

 

[Nixnaw]

Damn the job-seeking must not have gone well guessing from what we got in chapter 1.

@chonkury Agreed. The humor somehow works despite the setting for it and I like it. Even though MC and her husband are not the typical manga couple (lovely dovely and shit) it's refreshing because of how practical and realistic they.

 

[chonkury]

@Nixnaw Yeah, this hits home in so many ways. It's like a palate cleanser in between the sugary/spicy/etc romances, when you need a small dose of reality. I still hope the MC finds herself in a better place later on though.

Gastroscopt make you feel weird. I know for experience. And later you need you eat on diet for 1-2 days
