Now Kohona has laid down the basic foundations for Satoko to live a new life, Satoko suddenly wants a job. She doesn’t realize that finding a job seems harder than she believes.
With Satoko now on the family register, wearing that embarrassing unicorn sweater, she sees a now-hiring ad in a shop window. When she ran into Yoshida walking dogs as a part-time job, it gave Satoko the urge to get a job. The funny thing is that Kohona questions Satoko’s desire to find a job since her assassin job is making a lot of money already.
It’s evident that Satoko is a go-getter, but Kohona won’t help her find a job. After all, she wants Satoko only to work for her, even if Satoko is bored while Kohona is at school. As expected, Satoko worked on her resume, which was probably the most challenging part of overcoming the first hurdle. She had a hard time since she doesn’t have a formal education, and she can’t mention her ninja stuff.
With that, Kohona allowed Satoko to borrow a school uniform. However, she had to wear a blood-stained shirt as that was the only one Kohona had to lend her. The funny thing is that every employer rejected her because of her age, the contents of her resume being a “joke,” and her appearance.
While her experiences are somewhat relatable, besides the exaggerated rejections that Satoko experiences, I get a lot of rejections. It took me three years to find a job since I only had a year of experience when other places demand 3 to 5 years of experience for entry-level jobs. Don’t get me started with the ATS systems, which make getting a job harder.
It’s funny to see Satoko get upset, but Kohona knows a way around this. Lie on her resume regarding her qualifications and education. Kohona got a bit further with interviews, like I did. As expected, she received rejections except for one, which involved a job poking corpses in a pool for washing. Yep, she quit that job, which is not too surprising. At least she got to experience a 9 to 5 job, but the nasty job. No wonder Satoko quit. I would, too.
In the second half, we finally see the “leader,” Kuro’s fiancé. Yes, it’s Yuriko who works in an office. It’s funny to see Satoko’s reaction when she finds out that Kuro is in a relationship with another woman who is also female. Yep, they are lesbians, but it’s not too surprising, given the “yuri” in Yuriko’s name. She treats Satoko to pizza. Kohona somehow showed up since she had the urge to have Italian.
At the restaurant, the assassin ninja is wearing a mask. Believe it or not, this is the same young lady working at a not-Starbucks having trouble taking a customer’s order. Eventually, the ninja attacks Kohona and Satoko, who are having crapes. Kusagakure Arisa uses gauntlets to attack. The funny thing is that she is not that powerful after Satoko turned her gauntlets into leaves. Afterwards, Kohona proceeds to assassinate her. With Arisa gone, the new barista at the not-Starbucks has no trouble taking her order. It’s funny how Arisa’s apartment is now empty as the leave remains of Arisa get swept into the trash. Also, Satoko learns about Kohona’s gacha addiction after finding empty gift cards.

@chikorita157 Introducing more fun looking characters with some gimmick, just to quickly kill them off.
I don’t know if we’re not meant to care and it’s suppose to be lighthearted and fun. But to me it’s pretty brutal I’d say.
I think that is the gag, introduce a ninja assassin girl that Kohona and Satoko ends up killing. But yes, it’s all fun.
Besides the job hunting.
@chikorita157 But they make the dang new assassin girls genuinely interesting. Most entertainment fails to get me to care (some live action movies have failed spectacularly). But they introduce a new girl in a minute and I feel sad to see them die.
I guess that’s an achievement in and by itself:) But still.
Agreed, but of course, I feel bad for that Asuka and Midori got killed off, and of course they are more than just friends. Also, Midori bought a house, just to get killed and turned to leaves. It definately feels like a waste, but that what happens when they sign up to do that job.
