I'm a librarian who loves anime, manga, and reading a wide variety of genres.
Oh geez, I think Takeo and Fumi really are going to end up together. I was hoping Takeo would end up with Fumi's younger brother, who's nice and thinks Takeo is fine the way he is (aside from his inadvisable crush on Fumi).
Anyway, best convo yet, even though I'm a bit irked at the situation that led to it. Read the panel from right to left. For context, Fumi has the flu and Takeo was taking care of him. Takeo had to go to work, so he sent a secretary from his company to take care of Fumi (because Takeo's the CEO and the secretary has nothing better to do with her time *snort*). The first bubble is the secretary and the next one is Fumi. One thousand points to the secretary for not letting Fumi step on her and for establishing clear boundaries.
