okay a lot of people are unclear about the manager's age so i went back and looked it up. it actually was never clearly stated. but 26 is the guess that the part-timer kid came up with. right here -- http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/hachimitsu_no_aji/tr/93802/page/82/
this is not referring to his son's age. the son's age was also never stated but it's assumed he went to live with his mother after the divorce. this is the reason that they seldom eat together and not that the son is already an adult grown.
i'm not sure if it was also part of the golgo 13 reference but assuming it wasn't the kid's friends ballparked the manager at somewhere between 30 and 31.
so the manager is somewhere between 26 and 31.
i hope this (slightly) clears things up.
On the page you linked, the kid is referring to the managers son, not the manager. He says, "He has a son. I think he is older than me by nine years. He's 26 (17 +9) that makes me a brat even compared to him (the son)." That would make the manager somewhere in my age range - mid to late 40s. I have a son who is 25 and I am 48. The manager is in no way 26! He isn't drawn that way at all. He also has a position that, in a retail setting, you don't attain at 26. Unless you are a teenager, the idea that a 26 to 31 year old person would be drawn to look like a middle-aged man is... Well, I don't know, ludicrous?

this is awesome! everything just ties in together so neatly!
whaatt??? why so short? that doesn't wrap up anything. what happens with momoki? what about the underground city; we got a brief background on it but will it ever see the light of day? just as it was starting to build up into something and it ended. so disappointing.
kyaaaa the second story was so cute! i loved it! if one were to actually get nosebleeds that would be what it'd be from (≧∇≦)
the heck was with that ending??? a time skip into the future with exactly one panel to show for it. not exactly my idea of a good conclusion.
fucjing...i'm still crying here. i never wanted this to happen.
Oh fuck no
