Häagen-Dazs, Zoids, and a gay rapper military otaku? Those pictures were quite the roller-coaster ride.

The article itself was very bittersweet, of course. I wish she could always be happy. Crying or Very sad

Aw, man...It seems that this office lady is constantly being on the receiving end of misfortune, no matter where's she at. Sad

Single OL should hook up with Tomoko from Watamote. That way they could lean on each other for support..... or at least be miserable together. Neutral

The office lady seems pretty cool, playing Metal Gear Solid and putting together Zoids plastic model kits, though pretty sad. On another note, gay rapper military otaku seems pretty specific. That would make an interesting spinoff

That was just plain adorable. I feel sorry for her though, I hope the artist starts to make a story out of it and OL gets to have a happy ending.

The drinking juice in a weird position, Raiden, and Zoids thing was hilarious.

OL hit me real hard that I decided to follow her. She needs to hold on a couple more years for Touma.

She has great tastes in video games, at least. I'd be her friend.

Single OL is grown-up Tomoko. Shocked
And yes, she needs a hug.

I think that OL-chan's life and outlook overlaps somewhat with Shirobako's Sakaki Shizuka's.
