Late commentary on part 3:
He's sooo hot! What the heck?! How can someone be this handsome?!
In other words, my app had been inserted into a hottie's phone, which was basically the same as saying that I'd penetrated a hottie.
Is it me, or do her thoughts make her seem... Well, closer to 15 than to 30?
"Yeah. It only took two hours, right? That's amazing."
Uh, maybe? Kinda surprised she didn't just grab an existing one. Maybe the self-hosted open-source ones don't integrate with maps the way she wants?
"Kenta, how do I install it?"
"Just connect your phone to the laptop," Suzuki replied. "It'll only take a second."
A pretty minor gripe as such things go, but sideloading 'droid' apps generally requires some prep work on the target device (enabling 'developer mode' isn't exactly difficult on most handsets - for mine, it was 'find this line in the settings and tap it a bunch of times'), so either Tsubasa's phone wouldn't accept the new app... Or he'd already prepared it for this, so he should really know what the procedure is...
"Make sure you don't lose your stylus," Suzuki said.
Are they common in Japan? As far as I know, even Samsung's trying to phase those out these days...
Ai: "Why are you sulking?"
Kenta: "I just realised all your crushes are going to be characters-of-the-chapter, aren't they?"
"Two thousand attendees per day, for three days in total."
I'll be honest, for a startup with 4 staff and, apparently, just one review, that's ridiculously ambitious...
I like it when people think I'm annoying!
...Yup, definitely being written like a teenager. Honestly, the extra exposure to Ai's thoughts just make me like her less.
Why did Ai install an intercom without her boss' knowledge? I won't ask where she found the time, because she very clearly gets more minutes in each hour then the rest of the cast do...
I don't have much to say on Honma. She's pretty consistent with the manga version, and most of my critiques would hit the same point Ai did - that her terrible work relations weren't entirely the fault of the other parties.
How would his company take responsibility if Sato's advice made the client's situation worse?
Make sure 'don't pry into personal issues' is in the company handbook, so when the shit hits the fan you can point out she's ignoring company guidelines and blame it all on her, personally. Now, normally, I'd recommend stopping her doing it in the first place, but we all know that's not happening...
That place wasn't capable of functioning without her anyway - not when they were dumping all their work on her.
That part still doesn't make sense to me. Has Honma really done enough work for long enough that they've downsized? Because if they're still at the staffing levels they had pre-Honma, they should be able to reallocate the work back to its original assignees when she leaves...
"So when I think it's a lost cause, I immediately switch gears and try a different approach. It works surprisingly well."
Personally, I also find 10 or 20 minutes away from my desk helps. If you just keep attempting the same thing without a break, your mind has a tendency to repeat the same steps it did last time. Making it do something completely different - even just for a few minutes - tends to be the most effective way to reset it.
"You see, I own factories on a few islands,"
I thought they made video games?
"Don't worry. You won't be lonely there. I'll send your precious subordinates over too."
Why? Are you canning the entire department and building a new one from scratch? That would seem likely to make the productivity issues worse, if anything. Or are you just moving it somewhere remote - but making no other changes - in lieu of actually trying to fix anything?
My word, Honma's right hand looks weird in that last image. Honestly more quarian than human.
