Kanojo, Okarishimasu - Chapter 364

Half this chapter was thought bubbles of the MC’s “What!” I mean, I think manga artists work too hard so i can’t fault taking it easy but, its a perfect expression of why this manga goes nowhere very slowly.

While its true these two have been pussyfooting it around for (in universe) over a year, there are very few early 20s guys who can give a solid answer to that question. I get why she’d ask, but if you had asked at that age, I would have shrugged too. Because I knew watching my parents that parenting is hard work. When my wife and i were doing pre-marital counseling we got this question, and at the time I said i didn’t want kids but that I was open to changing my mind. That was good enough for her. And then we had (and raised) 3, which, I had that experience Chizuru is looking for so, I get that desire.

But this boy…would you want to have him for a dad? Or a partner in raising kids? Hard pass.

But the opening panels with a look into her mind and the closing panels of her sharing…that is when this manga is good. The author is clearly capable of writing a solid character and dialogue. But be it because he has a huge loan he has to payback to the Yakuza or he’s afraid of unemployment, we have been stuck in neutral for 200+ chapters with only the fleeting glimpses of the quality of writing that is possible from the author. Its just so annoying.
