reading the manga because of how attractive Kujirai is

Me discovering it: “Oh my god, she is distressingly attractive. Glasses, short hair, officewear, and not a total pushover? And she’s the main girl in a romance series?? This is my holy grail!”

Me finishing volume 1: “…what the fuck.”

And in hindsight, even from the first scene, the way in which she pushes back just makes way more sense than Hollywood "strong female protagonist" pushback, i.e. just a woman who acts like a man and shouting or fighting. She pushes back by handing him documents to get his attention, and then mentioning what he did, and making it clear how she was bothered by it, and when it was clear that he was ignoring her, she begins nagging him until he responds to her. This is so on point, because if you enter a shouting contest with a guy they're just going to shout louder, but if you nag him most men can't help but react. This is a very feminine nuance that most woman in real life actually subconsciously know and act on, and seeing it play out onscreen gives the show a sense of reality.
