Forget About Love, and Hold Me Already

USD 1.49 / 149pt
Yuriko, 35 and single, leads a humdrum everyday routine of work and looking after her disabled father. At the kindergarten where she teaches she's treated as an old maid, and at home her father won't listen to a thing she says. And of course she has no plans to marry... after all, she's just going to live out the rest of her boring life here in the countryside anyway, right? But while she's lost in thought over it, she causes a fender-bender. She doesn't know how to react, but Sosuke, the man in the other car, tells her he'll forget it ever happened... if she has sex with him! But after she goes with the flow and "just does it," it turns out that he's actually the father of one of her students?! And as if that weren't enough, Takumi, her kindergarten's cheeky young chief director, arrives on the scene...? Thus begins a clumsy love triangle for a flawed adult who had given up on love.

    Well written but dramatic
    All the characters are interesting and there's just enough drama for it to be compelling, but not unrealistic

    Excellent storytelling and art.
    This manga is excellent. Please publishers please don’t drop this!!! I’m worried because it hasn’t been updated in a long time. If it’s because the managaka needs a break that’s absolutely okay. But if the publishers are putting it on hold because they’re debating whether to drop it then please don’t drop it!
    This mangaka knows how to develop complex and sympathetic characters and the art is beautiful. It’s the first time I’ve seen a love triangle where I can’t decide which guy is better for our lovable imperfect protagonist. They are both truly good men (also with their own flaws) which makes the story fascinating. The sex scenes, while not numerous, long or detailed are VERY SEXY and pertinent to the plot.
    Furthermore I’m totally invested in her best friend’s story. I usually find secondary character plots extremely boring. They are usually just padding. Not here. Her best friend is having an identity crisis and desperately needs to find a new way for her life. It’s heartbreaking. I need to know what she’s going to do.
    So please don’t drop this manga!

    Best Josei in most recent years!
    Hoping for an update on this series. The story fleshed out the characters so well. Yuriko is such a lovable main character and relatable that you can’t help but cheer her on.

    Great Josei Manga
    Please don't judge it by the synopsis and first chapter alone! This story is so interesting that I registered an account on this site just to catch up to the chapters. The characters here are really fleshed out, they have weaknesses, make mistakes, and have flaws. Check this out if you're fed up of the typical romance manga and want something a little deeper.

    是非手元に
    ふと目について読み始めました。細かなキャラクターの描写と、感情表現がとても美しい作品だと思います。ストーリーがとんとん拍子に進む作品もお手軽でいいですが、このように各々のキャラクターに感情移入できつつ先を楽しみにできる作品はなかなかないと思います。とても楽しませて頂きました。

She Gave Up on Love, but Love Had Other Plans
Our MC goes out to get a break from caring for her elderly father and ends up getting into a fender-bender, which then lands her in bed with the man who was driving the other car. Her life never had any room for romance before, but now all of a sudden signs are popping up everywhere. This manga will prove that even grown-ups can have love fall into their laps - whether they're ready for it or not!
