Love and Scum Manga Reviews

This review contains spoilers. This story is unexpectedly realistic.
Whereas most manga series present marriage as the ultimate happy - ever- after goal, this one shows how the real challenge begins after that, and how relationships can change over time.
How marriage isn't always a bed of roses and how sometimes those who look like a perfect couple to people around them actually are just keeping up appearances. This is all about the conflict between one's need to feel alive and follow one's heart, and the guilt to not be the spouse one pretends to be and the feeling of being a monstrous traitor, with the fear of destroying one's family and hurting one's children.
It also shows the situation from the lovers' side, who are not monsters who wish to destroy a family, but simply single people who happened to meet someone and fall in love with them.
No simplistic black and white vision of life here, the characters feel real, they all have their faults but also extenuating circumstances, and one can totally relate to each of them.
I look forward to reading the remaining chapters.
