    Complex, but realistic.
    This review contains spoilers. At first I thought the ML was annoying and the FL too nice. But honestly I see similar patterns in real life and I think it's very well depicted. Nobody is perfect, we all have our baggage and sometimes you don't need to exit a relationship the moment it gets hard. I'd love for it to get more into the deeper psychological issues because it seems to be glossed over in some parts. The ML definitely needs therapy or to work out his past more than just having a fun talk with his dad. He's definitely depressed and needs help. It's going into a good direction in the end because it's never saying "he's fixed now" it's acknowledging that it's a long road and this is only the beginning. Overall an interesting read with great drawings.

    So AGGRAVATING!
    This review contains spoilers. The art is lovely! No gripes with that. The story is disappointing. Male lead doesn't really grow up at all. Female lead was the one who had to become more accepting of his flaws and support his insecurities because she understood that he had family trauma... But she did too! He didn't do anything but be all, "woe is me."

    This hits too close to home, I prefer my love stories with a little more fantasy in it: I would like actual character growth in the male partners too

    Complex Situation
    This review contains spoilers. No one’s perfect and the man’s burnt out. I think a lot of what they went through was understandable to a degree, although a lot of their struggles seem to be his fault or stem from him. She seemed to have decided to settle regarding his messiness, which I think is fine. Not all people want to live in model houses, and they can also hire a housekeeper. What bothers me is how dependent he is on her with general things like searching for directions or even driving. Those logistical and organization responsibilities are things you generally have to take care of yourself and it’s exhausting when everything falls on you every single time. That’s how relationships go from going out for dates, to having dates at home, to never having dates at all because you resent the other person for never putting in effort. I would never start a family with a man like this. I cannot see him ever taking care of a living being. I’ll say it, she’s only okay with it now because he’s hot. The only difference between doing this labor for a hot vs. average man is how easy it is to take him back after she gets fed up.

    Potential's there!
    On the one hand, I love the setting. You have a protagonist who is clearly burnt out from having a work persona, which is in western culture a thing but I think even more in east asia, if I understand correctly. Of course you get tired easily and are not able to "work" even more at home and get groggy.
    Oftentimes, being messy is a symptom of things like depression and burnout. Also, it's very common for women to have internalised the need to NOT be messy, to have a good household and to care for people.
    As a setup, that's fantastic and has a lot of potential for really good conflict and compromise which we all relate to.
    I just hope (didnt read all) that it doesn't get to the point where she just "fixes" him to be a perfect household bee and just works to the bone to her Standards instead of questioning the standards itself and finding a real compromise between the two without expectations from others.
