Refreshing

This review contains spoilers. I enjoyed the depth of emotions portrayed. As someone who is currently going through divorce and dealt with domestic abuse, it's really interesting to see a situation where the partner ACTUALLY chooses to change, and SUCCEEDS at doing so! So thank you for giving such a refreshing take on what could be an even more tragic situation.🥰

Love it

Love it! This is so realistic. The fact that it can happens to anyone and it is just not show is refreshing.

Slowburn heartache

This review contains spoilers. This manga quietly broke my heart. It follows Aki, a young wife slowly unraveling from the fear that her husband might be cheating—or worse, falling out of love. There’s no proof, just silence, late nights, and a growing distance she can’t explain.

heartbreaking

the plot is absolutely heartbreaking and riveting. All the different characters have interesting plots and perspectives. There were some aspects I thought could have been handled better -some people should have had more sympathy and others, less.

Thoughtful

This review contains spoilers. It's so well written. This story held so much complexity. All their feelings are valid. The true complexity lies in the fact that the story doesnt have a clear antagonist when it is all said and done. It's just a married couple struggling, like in real life.

Retrospective on Relationships

I saw this story on a insta ad and wow I don’t regret reading this at all. The story and the characters really make you think on how each individual deals with relationships especially the ones who are married. Every character has a flaw which makes it engaging as you read every chapter. I won’t try to spoil too much but the main characters being put in a difficult situation as they both navigate how to save their marriage was eye opening. Not only that second ml was so well written please read this!!

I was so hooked

I related to this story so much, as someone who’s been through a similar situation. I was avoiding reading it because I was worried I would feel anxious and bad recalling those memories but this was beautiful.

Complicated and Heavy

Filled with real, raw emotions. All the characters have depth to them with their own relationship problems. Shows how complicated and difficult adult relationships can be. The mc's conflicts with herself and constantly swings between wanting to keep her husband and getting a divorce.

Good story

I do like how everyone gets their own perspective told. Personally for me, its a little long and a bit unnecessary that everything is so dragged out. Good artwork though.

Compelling read

This review contains spoilers. Nice examination of how best intentions without proper communication can jeopardize a relationship. Though the husband’s decisions seemed forced by the plot at times.

I like it

This review contains spoilers. This story had quite a few plot twists and it was well written. It keeps you on your toes and makes you wonder what else was a lie. Ugh i like the 2nd ML, wish he had a happy ending too. The overall ending was sweet!

Good Intro...

I love how the intro started with questioning things and then slowly worked it's way around realizations between the characters. So far so good.

Interesting read but

This review contains spoilers. I enjoyed the twists and turns but the ending is going to be crucial to make it a good read. hate that they will gloss over that what the husband did was due to harassment and thought he was r-worded (yes it can happen to a man) and yet they still trying to pin it as him cheating for lying or the FL is so self centred that she isn’t even supporting him through this after finding out?? The FL kisses the coworker and that isn’t cheating despite not officially ending it with her husband?? Like come on

Good storytelling

The story is beautifully told, and it deals with interesting issues in a realistic and nuanced way.
The plot is mostly good, but it got quite disappointing for me at the very point where it should have been climactic. However, then it improves again.
There are also a few chapters in which the story doesn't develop at all. It's a long flashback where we get to learn some details and understand the perspective of other characters. It's not a complete waste, but it does feel like the author is just trying to occupy more pages than necessary.
There are two or three scenes where the couple gets intimate. They're very nicely drawn; explicit but not too graphic, not gross at all.
It's a good manga. I recommend it.

Addictive from the 1st chapter

I'm really enjoying this story. Life is complex, nothing is black and white and sometimes you surprise yourself with how much you can take. There's only so far one can be pushed until we snap.

It really is worth the read, I dont know what everyone is complaining about but if you have some common sense you would give it a go.

Very engaging story, but questionable plot choices

This review contains spoilers. It's very refreshing to come across this manga among a sea of pretty much hentai. This one actually offers a solid story. That said, a few of the plotlines are hard to relate to or make sense of.

For example, why didn't the husband ever tell his wife that her best friend had been pursuing him from the very beginning? That's a major piece of information to leave out. Also, the night he was drugged, why didn't he request the hotel footage, report it to the police, and prove he was drugged and raped.

It's puzzling, especially since the authors portray him as an intelligent, highly capable, leader of the department, etc, yet he completely overlooks such a fundamental and critical step. It took so many people to be involved, and also the gathering in the hotel room to unfold everything. That feels so over the top and very hard to make sense of.

Disappointing

There was a lot of stress built up in this storyline, but for me, the outcome was weak. I don’t want to leave any spoilers in my review, so I’ll just sum it up- the storyline was a little all over the place and dragged out for what was going on, there were a couple surprise twists, the artwork is simple and clean which was really good and the only reason I’m giving this 2 stars.

Too Slow

Decent story, but a lot of chapters are just the FL crying because that’s all she apparently can do. I wouldn’t pay more than half price.
