Made me cry!

It’s been a while since I’ve read a manga that has kept me up all night reading and crying at emotional moments!

Got me super emotional

This is such a complex and realistic story. From the previews on sm I honestly thought it might be one of those titles were men are jerks and women have to band together against them and it was sooooo not that at all! Every character felt real and the way they showed people working to improve their relationships was absolutely heartwarming.
Even the "villains" in the story weren't really bad guys, just hurt and lost people.
I admit I cried a little several times, although I did the worst during the bonus Akira chapter, bcs of Miyu... Was not prepared for that one at all.
I really like how everyone was in a better place by the end. Everyone was trying to fix mistakes and be good for their families. I realise that might not be too realistic but I like to see it, wish it happened often irl. Even the bad dads were trying their best for their children's sake.
Although not wanting to match with your dad wearing an idol t-shirt? Completely valid, what was that man thinking 😂
Ugh the whole story just fills me with feelings!!!

Beautiful read.

This is a beautiful read and extremely raw. The kind that hits close to home and make you think about how you navigate your own relationships.
The story covers one main relationship (on the cover) and as it does so, there are a few more relationships also tangled in with it.

Complex, Real, and Captivating

I thought it was going to be another one of those stories where good/evil was clear cut but Natsukawa-sensei was able to create such a deep characters, I couldn’t put down my phone. It could definitely be triggering because of how human and how realistic their flaws were. Definitely worth rereading.

Missing chapters?

This review contains spoilers. This series is a nice change of pace but I think some chapters between 26 -29 are no longer up. It's missing the entire exploiting the "affair" section that was there a few months ago.

Well written

It's a really well written story, and I definitely recommend reading it! It does deal with a lot of heavy topics though, so if you are sensative you might want to be cautious.

Important truths

This one is a rare gem, and it gets better towards the end! Relatable, multi-faceted characters to carry a solid story about navigating relationships in adulthood. Highlights important truths/values everyone needs to know. Kinda didactic maybe, important nonetheless. Also love how it's told from both halves of a married couple. Highly recommended for human drama genre fans!

It's a must read omg!

This review contains spoilers. I was at first skeptical about the book but the artstyle got me hooked and as the story progresses, I got more and more invested. Anyway I was a sobbing mess at the end. I was so relieved and heartbroken all at the same time. If you're a sucker for plot twist and wholesome moments that take painfully long chapters to resolve then read this.

I dont regret spending my points on this book!!

Must read

A well written story about humans and facing the truth. I really enjoyed how you got to learn a little bit of each character and their backgrounds. The FL friends were not just there in the background but have actual lives outside of the main characters. You don't see it but you know it.

Amazing manga

This one is a super star.
You think the ML is cheating trash because you see from the FL perspective. Its heartbreaking to see what she goes through. And ML doesn't help. But OMG this are not as they seem. The stuff you find out is shocking and so good. You won't be able to put this one down

Genuine Slice Of Life Romance

I got a bad vibe from her one friend before they even went into the plot twist, but this series actually had some touching heartfelt moments. It's sad and pulls at the heartstrings, especially when you have been in those similar situations or feeling like your love isn't reciprocated anymore. I cried reading one of the chapters.
If there was a physical manga printed of this series I would add it to my collection.

Nice surprise

I wasn't expected anything, just some light story. But I was wrong, it's a deep storyline. Even though i'm not a big fan of the main character, each character in the story has their place and we understand how and why they think the way they do. I'm surprise to be fan!
