These two new characters are showing up in the second season of the anime aren’t they? Does that mean the show is going to be covering everything up to this chapter at least? Seems like a lot of stuff to cover.
The second season is most likely going to cover to the end of volume six, because of STORY REASONS.
And when you consider that about 20-30% of season one was original material written just for the anime, they’ll probably be fine adapting a three volumes this season vs the 2 volumes adapted in season 1.
Why not actually read volume 5 and try to figure out for yourself? It’s written plainly on the cover. And the table of contents. And explained in full in the afterword.
Presumably she just hasn’t brought it to the office all that much before now. Or if she did, she kept it with her so it wasn’t just wandering around.
Realistically, it’s because they created the cat for the anime series, and this chapter came out right after the anime series started airing. So the author figured he might as well introduce it in the manga as well.
That makes sense. I am probably just confusing the anime and manga, thinking the cat’s always been present in the manga, as well. When you mention it I’ve probably not spotted in the manga much, if at all; just thinking it’s been there.
A lot of people seem to be confusing that. Which just goes to show how good an adaptation it is; even the anime-original stuff seems like it was actually in the manga somewhere.
Finally, those two new characters are introduced. I’ve been waiting for their appearance ever since I saw them in that New Game! artbook I bought. It was a great chapter too, thanks!
I know it’s supposed to be like that, as that’s the whole point, but I had to re-read Yun’s sentence in the third frame on the right on page 12 slowly to myself a couple of times before I understood it lol. Had there been one more negative in there, I would have had to admit defeat. I struggle with multiple negatives in succession. 😛
For those who ask. Yes this is the first time that cat has been seen. It has been in the anime for quite some time. Became a fan fav so author added the cat in.

Volume 4 ended in chapter 51, but volume 6 started in chapter 52. What about volume 5?

Volume 5 is a prequel, released at the same time as volume 4.

So it has been released long time ago. Forgive my tardiness.
Thanks for the chapter!
Has that cat just been going around the office without most of them noticing before now? I am confused.
