Apr 21, 2026 (PST) | Total Reviews: 5Strong development of the main characterThis review contains spoilers. Nanao has serious issues. A previous commenter criticized the abusive scenes. However, I find her behavior very realistic for a victim with low self-esteem. The risk of being publicly outed is also a major problem for social status, especially in Japan, which explains why she allows herself to be black*ma!led in this way and ultimately sees only escape. In the end, she realizes what the reader can suspect from the beginning: someone loves her, even if she doesn't understand why.

May 27, 2026 (PST) | Total Reviews: 4No realisation or revengeThis review contains spoilers. Thought it would be better but author doesn't call out the original situation as r*pe even if the mc had feelings for him. She is basically traumatized and depressed for the rest of the work. She could have handled it better and reached out for help but her overly protective nature of not wanting to cause trouble for those around her means she keeps hiding things and thinking that the abuse is her deserved punishment. She never realises that it wasn't her fault and she never seeks revenge on the stalker either. The most she tries is telling him directly to stop and then he proceedes to pull out photos of her and the manager. The guy she's in love with does listen to her story, accept her and fix it for her (so there's a little pay off when stalker gets in trouble with his dad) and they get a happily ever after but he also doesn't explicitly say it wasn't her fault or that she was coerced or involve her in his plans.(1)

Apr 11, 2026 (PST) | Total Reviews: 22It’s…..well…..hhhmmmmmmmThis review contains spoilers. The art is good, and I like the main pairing. Unfortunately, the good ends there. The victim blame’s herself for being s*xually a*sulted while drunk by her sister’s bf then by her own stalker/ex-bf on multiple occasions. At least there were consequences for the second one, I guess. But she still doesn’t see that what happened with her now brother-in-law also made her a victim.
I’d like to rate this higher, but I just can’t get past that.(1)

Feb 23, 2024 (PST) | Translate to English絵が好きです絵が好みで読み始めました。ちょっと重めのストーリーでしたが、ヒロインちゃん…どこまでついてないんだ…と思いながら読み進めていました。ストーリーは読み応えがあり、話数もダラダラしないちょうどいい話数でした。ようやく結ばれた２人の今後も気になるので、出来れば続きがあるといいなぁ〜と思います。

We've all been there, heartbreak, unrequited love, and some of us may carry this with us forward. Nanao is portrayed fairly realistically and I really feel for her. She just can't catch a break and she really fits the bill of hurt people, but this will have you rooting for her to confront her past and truama to finally find happiness.
