Pleasantly surprised with this manga! The story and characters offer more depth than most in the "Adult Romance" genre, in fact it should be given more tags as just that doesn't do it justice.
I find myself relating a lot to the MC's career struggles, personal insecurities and thought processes. The male lead is also refreshingly believable and endearing, not despite of but also because of his annoying aspects. The supporting characters also nicely add to the story with enough depth that doesn't become too much. All of them are multi-faceted portrayals and I appreciate the writer's effort in this aspect.
Lastly, the reactions and cues are actually funny? I found myself LOL a few times and tearing up once already, and I'm only at chapter 10!

Surprisingly doting husband who melts my heart, and I like following the MC's thoughts as she figures out her own feelings and her husband's intentions.

A simple, straightforward story with relatable characters whose actions and motivations are believable. It's nice to find a series like this in a genre whereby the adult content is usually forcefully incorporated in an unrealistic manner. Thanks for making this free to read in full under Premium, I'll be following the future chapter releases!

The stars are mainly for the art. The characters are too strange; the FL's thinking and sleeping habit (?) aren't relatable, and the ML's obsessive/possessive nature is far too creepy. This one is a pass for me.

It's a series of short stories of women navigating marriage and romantic relationships. Love following each MC through her ordeals and the ML who support them are swoon-worthy! The drama also seems to be dialled up with each subsequent story. ^^ The current one (I'm at ch. 25) is such a trip with the outrageous characters, it's hilarious! It does border on predictable in how the art is deliberately different for villains before the dialogue even reveals their true nature. I also find the villains a bit one-dimensional and would appreciate their portrayals to be more nuanced and multi-faceted with more insight on their back stories.

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!

This one is a bit of an unexpected gem in how the ML is the perfect balance of edgy yet sweet, and the back story melted my heart. The character designs are also a visual treat!
