Ehh they're both kinda jerks. To be fair, the mc is likely sleep deprived but it's not like he's tried to confront his neighbor in an assertive or diplomatic way about being unable to sleep.
Also doesn't seem like he's tried any solutions (ear plugs, white noise app, etc.).
The influencer didn't handle the eventually confrontation well, but it's pretty common for people who are caught off guard by sudden, unexpected criticism to get defensive and/or to not be receptive.
When you're neighbors, especially if one or both parties knows where the other works, the best approach is typically going to be to ask your neighbor to meet to discuss the specific topic at a near point in the future that works for them.
For example, you can leave a note on their door (in an envelope so any other nosy neighbors don't see) that says something like, "Good morning! This is x from next door. If you have time this week, I'd really appreciate if we could briefly chat about a personal matter that's negatively affecting my ability to get adequate sleep. Below is a list of times that work for me. Please let me know if you'd be open to getting coffee or something (my treat), or if you'd at least be willing to chat with me for 5 minutes between both our homes/apartments. Your help would mean the world to me, thank you!"
Giving them a little bit of a heads up provides a chance for them to consider both sides and prepare a proper response instead of just getting defensive or feeling attacked.
Some studies have shown that many people are more likely to develop fondness for others who have come to them directly for help (but that may be more of an "in the workplace" type of rule rather than at home/neighbors.
Lastly, when confronting someone about a specific behavior/issue, assertive communication courses will typically teach the following narrative format:
"When you [do X behavior],
I [feel Y emotion / am impacted in Y way], and
what would help is if you would [do Z behavior]."
For example:
"When you [get rowdy with noisy partners every night], I [have a hard time sleeping/focusing/etc.] and what would help is if you could let your partners know the walls are paper thin at least on xxx days so I can at least get a full night's sleep before my hardest work shift."
But ultimately, you can't control the behavior of others so an optimal resolution would be one that you find for yourself (e.g., ear plugs, etc.).
I feel kinda sorry for him because like... basic human empathy. But at the same time, he's a rich, privileged brat who seems kinda superficial and self centered, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yaaassssss I needed Isogai in my life and the magical Isogai fairy delivered. ♡
Poor Tatemura. When he looked in the mirror thinking he's not pretty, even though just the night before, his partner was mentally gushing at how cute he is.
1st, thank you to whoever uploaded the 2 page extra "morning coffee".
2nd, wtf is Morinaga thinking, waking someone on their day off and seeing their HOT morning coffee in front of their glasses?
I thought he loved Souichi?
This is why the platinum rule is do unto others as they would have done unto them and not do unto others as you'd have done unto you.
Morinaga is the M, so why would he expect his lover to want to get burned with scalding coffee when he groggily reaches for his glasses after waking a second time.
I'm glad it all worked out but people, please learn from AU Morinaga's mistake and don't set hot items down in front of your partially blind partner's glasses.
"Thank God! I'm not hard." That last cell made me bust up laughing.
I keep seeing spoilers indicating the next few chapters are gonna suck so while it's still good I want to comment to convey how much I love the main character.
He's so damn cute.
Like that panel wherein he has devil horns and is like "I'll take a half day!" and his bf is like "bro you're CEO, just skip" tickled the crap out of me because he's like "ohohoho look how naughty I am~!"
Like some teenager who thinks they're a rebel for leaning against a wall that says "No loitering" or something hahaha
Also he was so mad for so long but after laughing and talking, he just feels all better?? Bro sucks at holding grudges ROFL
Reminds me of an earlier chapter when he got excited to see his bf and was like
٩༼ ˵ ❛ ヮ ❛ ˵ ༽۶ Honeeey~! ♡
Σ Σ (∩╹□╹∩) Oh, wait—!
⋌༼ • ⌂ • ༽⋋ I'm still mad! Hmpf!
What's with the cheese puff sized carpet fibers ROFL

For the most part, I don't pay attention to the background art. But occasionally, I catch stuff like this and it cracks me up.
I have 3 thoughts:
1) I'm pretty sure rice cookers haven't been around for 5k years
2) I hope it turns out the rice cooker genie guy just gives the "owner" whatever they need so he like gives gramma a nice massage or something lol that would be hilarious if MC realized he just needed a real good pounding hahaha
3) Why dat genie so fine though
I'll give you a suppository, Takihaze-san! ♡
Anyone who works so hard to love and protect the ones we love should also be loved and protected! ( T_T)＼(^-^ )
If you love cats then adopt that adorable kitty you old grouch!

By the way, if there are any BL fans out there, crunchyroll has a new anime with similar concepts—one office worker guy develops the ability to read minds by touching people when he turns 30 (something about 30 year old virgins becoming wizards in Japan, hahaha) and when he reads the mind of his male coworker, he realizes the guy is in love with him.
It plays off of some of the same kinds of tropes as Spy x Family (RE: mind-reading) but I think it's very well done and in some cases, thought-provoking.
Similar to Spy x Family, it seems to assume that if you could read people's minds, you'd actually see more of their good sides and empathize with them more (as opposed to assuming negative intent when you can't tell what someone is thinking and/or don't understand them / their motivations).
Anyway, the anime is called "Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!"
I feel torn rooting for Anya x Damian.
On the one hand, it's cute they're developing a strong friendship as children so that if they end up together, there will be a strong basis for their feelings (even though Damian thinks he might secretly be in love with Anya right now, his denial and overall tsundere-ness is helping him continue being relatively himself around her which is ideal for any partnership, whether it's a friendship or romance).
What I love most about this couple is that they both often see each other at their worst but at least in Damian's case, he still obviously cares about Anya afterward.
Still not 100% sure about poor Anya—she's basically forcing herself to tolerate and be kind to Damian because she thinks it's crucial for world peace or will please her father.
In that regard, Damian's love is technically more sincere... except his impressions of her courage, etc. are based predominantly on actions she made herself take in order to get recognized by him, which shouldn't sit well with most shippers.
Anya forcing herself to try to like him and get him to like her feels kinda like couples forced into an arranged marriage (making it hard to root for her getting with him).
I'll need go back and find the parts from previous chapters that Damian was thinking about during the dance scene from this latest chapter (to see if what he recalls were genuine moments of kindness, courage, etc. that Anya demonstrated vs. her trying to look tough).
I know it's a waste of energy to defend fictional animals/habitats but I still care more about them then your entitled rich ass.
Mowing down a whole ass forest to build a new love shack for your baby and baby mama / ruining an entire island to build a freaking J*CK-OFF MANSION ain't sexy flexes.
They exemplify why a bi*ch keeps almost going bankrupt! ಠ_ಠ
Need authors to recognize that truly sexy alphas/semes are men who are socially and financially responsible.
How is he eating chocolate and tucking onions and other stuff that's toxic to cats (garlic, tea, coffee, etc.)? I guess when he turned human, his digestive and other systems also switched over 100%? (눈_눈)
Thank you translator for your hard work. Sorry people are so rude and ungrateful.
lol Kojima may be the neko (uke) but when it comes to stubbed toes, he's more of a dog (whines / cries and seeks comfort dramatically) whereas Daimon reacts to stubbing his toe more like a cat (hiding his pain and only being vulnerable around someone he trusts) X'D
