Call center | Philippines
Me: “I’m sorry, sir. Did you mean ‘R’ as in ‘Robert’?”
Customer: “No, no, no. I meant ‘R’ as in ‘Oscarrrrrrr’!”
and your first reaction is, “ANDRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!”
Bonus:
From BeruBara Kids, Ikeda's humorous look at her own manga.
1: Andre: Argh! Why were Oscar and I born into different classes? If I were a noble, I could be with Oscar right away!
2: Andre: And then…

4: Andre: I just don’t understand…
Oscar: Still a servant in his fantasies, huh?
