I think the english translation is just fine for us learners, but almost all the severity of what she is saying is lost. Certainly, if I was translating for a non Japanese speaker, I'd want to try and get more of the strength of her anger/disdain across in the English. Anyway, based on past experience, this is really the kind of conversation you don't want to be on the other side of.

All I know is that they met in the gokkon, and then Yusuke invited her for a date disguised in the form of a business-related matter, and just after Agnes started her job in the company, Yusuke asked her again for another date. Are those enough bases already for a relationship between Nihonjins? Well, sorry if I'm failing to sense the outright sarcasm here, but "getting angry at your boyfriend??" really, what's the deal here?? :roll: can someone (who’s been tuning in regularly to this saga) explain to me how come Agnes and Yusuke are considered as girlfriend-boyfriend?

Quite frankly, I was surprised she could even get a job since she acts so naive. Getting angry at her boyfriend actually made me respect her a little bit, even though I think she had little pretense for doing so. That Yusuke guy didn't do anything wrong. So I kind of relate to Steve's response. Neil, are you serious? I can't imagine them killing off a character here, especially Anges. Wow, Agnes is finally turning into a real human being.

It seems that Agnes will eventually die a long an painful death from stomach inflammation made worse by a misterious shipment of contaminated shellfish tied by the police to a person only known as "Steve".
