The story seemed to be setting up some internal conflict with the manager's feelings, but then never actualises them. I think it feels a bit abrupt because we've gotten a full explanation of the manager feeling undeserving of love, but then he confesses to Mayama without any processing or emotional development, which I think could have been a good place to look into their dynamic and created more space for yearning. Instead, it felt like they just used that storyline to make Mayama feel jealous. Just a shame coz there was a lot more potential to this story, it was cute overall tho.
