Genuinely hilarious, that this manga tries to paint itself as feminist, when it's anything but that.
"See! Look how evil Amihama is, being so brutally blunt, that she's mean!" Meanwhile the story never shuns from being brutal towards her"She reminds me of an animals" "She's so fat" "She dresses poorly"
"Look how pick-me-ish Amihama is!" Like the story isn't literally constantly asking you to pick the kind feminine woman, while putting Amihama down, because of her appearance.
I'm not saying Amihama is good, misunderstood or even normal. If I, in real life, worked at this workplace, I would hate her and love Honda. But this isn't real life, this is a story someone wrote and drew. They made Amihama a caricature of a rude person, then made her fat, loud, sexually liberated and unfashionable to gross you out.
Then they drew a younger, polite, quieter, beautiful woman, which you're supposed to obviously pick over her.
Wow, the ugly fat woman thinks that a man likes her, when he was actually just using her! Isn't she gross? Anyway, back to the model, that nearly cries tears of joy, when she receives a pretty shirt from a business partner.
I don't normally care about this stuff, it's pretty common in the lowbrow mangas, but c'mon! What does this story think it is, to lecture me, about how a proper woman should behave, when it makes such an insulting caricature out of its main character!
"It's just a joke!" Alright, who's it aimed at, what makes it funny and what is the author trying to say about the world through it?
