          Having worked in call centers in both sales and customer service, I really connected with the MC in this story (even if it was very much sensationalized). Reading the manga was fun if left unresolved so I'd like to see how it ends up. Series is up to volume 8 nowalt text

            The manga concluded at chapter 29(volume 6). The fact that those two(him and the JK)

            spoiler

            Unless that was manga original, makes me curious about the rest of the novel beyond the scope of the manga...

              some quick googling eased some of my initial reservations about this series were relieved (legal age of consent in Japan etc)- still the 'creeper rule' is a thing in my mind (younger than (.5 your age) +7 is 'too young') . So if you are 29, younger than 22 is ng. I'd like to hear that the story is otherwise compelling/interesting/charming etc. before upvoting or not

              I read banned books

                @Jon-Mitchell disregarding the romantic aspect of the story (which for most of the story seemed to be more of an unrequited love/business contract/mentorship relationship), there's a significant portion of the manga at least that was devoted to dramatic office politics and overall commentary on the changing expectations in the business world and cultural differences between generations within Japan. If that's something you would be interested in, I think it's worth the vote.

                @Korppi After looking up more information about the series, apparently the "ending" is just the conclusion of the first arc and continues far beyond that point.

                  Yes, I'm definitely interested and it got my vote. But the downside of those same themes is it might provide quite the challenge for a translator if it ever gets picked I fear...

                    Probably no more than Jk haru in my opinion. But again, it comes to culture shock. For better or worse, some readers are rather ethnocentric.

                    I have read the manga which covers the main arc and I quite enjoyed it, so I would happily accept this series onto my purchase and read list.
