“Understanding Dating Clubs Through Manga” https://universe-club.jp/column/manga
and “Understanding Papa-Katsu Through Manga” https://universe-club.jp/female/comic/
I read both.
The artwork in both is cute. They really chose some good manga artists.
If I were to give them subtitles, the first might be “Work Is Tough: The Adult-Manga Edition of Papa-Katsu,” and the second, “Even a Good-for-Nothing Girl Can Do It! The Showa-Era Girls’ Manga Edition of Papa-Katsu,” perhaps?
Anyway, here’s my question: In the second one, did K or Yoshii have an adult relationship (intimate), or didn’t they? That’s the part I’m most curious about, and since it wasn’t made clear, I’d really like a definite answer（笑）
I’m Flag Maker, a column writer.
I’m sure there’s an adult relationship (intimate) involved（笑）.
But the storyline is: Yoshii-san stops providing support because K-ko-san’s feminine appeal has been declining → K-ko-san works on herself → they resume seeing each other. Come on, Yoshii-san! I thought you could’ve handled that more stylishly（笑）.
Instead, while continuing the relationship, Yoshii-san could have subtly encouraged K-ko-san to improve her feminine appeal, helping her become an even more attractive woman and achieve her dreams.
I think that kind of storyline would be much nicer, since it could portray the delicate push and pull and psychology between the two of them.
Though I suppose it’s probably a matter of the available screen time.

Maezawa from the president’s office here.
That said, I wasn’t involved with this manga, so I don’t know which one it was.
First of all, the female staff member named “Takita” who appears here was in Tokyo at the time and was one of the top people there. (笑)
She looks completely different, but I can imagine her saying something along the same lines. (笑)
> It looks like they even travel together. That also suggests an adult relationship.
Heh heh...
You still have a long way to go.
There’s actually an episode where they traveled overseas together, but they didn’t get intimate even once, and the man got angry—apparently he even demanded that she return everything he had bought her on the trip. Maybe.
She was able to keep him hanging on that long. She was practically a goddess of papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan). (笑)
(Though from the man’s perspective, she was more like a devil. (笑))
So, even if they travel together, there are rare cases where there’s no adult relationship. (笑)
That said, since this is a Universe manga, I doubt there was no adult relationship at all...

If you can joke, “Oh, I see… Then can I have back all the money I’ve supported you with so far?” it probably means you can say something like that casually when there’s no physical relationship, because the bond between you is deeper than that.
Also, if he’s providing substantial support overseas, I think it’s because they’ve built a relationship that matters more than whether or not they have a physical relationship.
So I believe a meaningful adult relationship without physical intimacy is possible too.

I assume they have an adult relationship (intimate). The second panel from the back in Episode 3 seems to suggest that（笑）
There’s an airplane drawn in the final panel of Episode 4, so it looks like they’ve traveled together as well. That also hints at an adult relationship.
In Episode 5, Yume is given a first-class ticket as a gift, so I imagine she must be quite passionate in private.
> The man got angry because they couldn’t be intimate even once.
Hehe, that’s rather naïve. I’ve actually had a woman get angry at me even though we weren’t intimate even once（笑）
There’s always an exception to everything（笑）

Universe is a dating club.
Dating clubs are places for adult relationships.
And adult relationships are intimate relationships.
So, naturally, anyone under 18 is prohibited.
Besides, when they say “adult relationship,” I think they leave it unexplained because adults don’t need an explanation of what kind of relationship that means.
Wait—what about Type A...???
There are always exceptions... (笑)
