And this is how the series ended—no real character development. The only development was for the main characters, and even that was poorly handled. The writer left the husband's storyline unresolved; he was asked something significant at the end of his arc, but there was no follow-up. We don't know if they're dating or not—just nothing. We’re expected to accept it as is. This series is full of holes, with no real closure. Even the husband's younger sister narrated that the main couple doesn't live happily ever after, yet the final chapter shows them living together, and she lets go of her last name. So in the end, what was the point of that contradiction?

Idk why Reiji so fixated Chizuru. Every girl in the series is better than her. If Ruka was Kazuya's main love interest no one would complain how crazy she at times. She just better overall. Meanwhile, Chizuru is so emotionally inept that it makes no sense why Kazuya continues to pursue her.

Honestly, I'm very familiar with the feeling of time standing still and life not progressing as it should. I think it's a feeling that many people experience. She was just in a rut and relied on this guy—whatever his name is—to guide her. That's what brought her closer to him initially. I wouldn’t say it's entirely her fault, though it partly is. But it's also this guy's fault because he knew she was just asking for help and took advantage of her vulnerability. She was in a lonely place, and she connected with him, and maybe he felt closer to her too. But he knew full well that she was an impressionable girl, based on the way she spoke. She was clearly looking for someone to confide in, and he should have been just that—nothing more. So, while they're both at fault, he is ultimately asshole here. https://i.postimg.cc/0yWxTvk0/i.gif

What I don't understand is why she was so uncomfortable. She was the one flirting and making multiple sexual advances toward Riku, yet the moment he gives in, she acts uncomfortable. That's weird.

Next, you say something that just shows you might have some sort of developmental issue, which honestly isn’t worth my time to deal with. But here’s the thing—you haven’t dealt with anything. You’re just yapping for the sake of yapping. I asked you to prove what you were talking about, to show me one couple who’s happy after cheating on their spouse, and you couldn’t do it. So, where do we go from here? Nowhere. Because you haven’t addressed the argument. You have nothing to say to me. You’re just being stupid, plain and simple.

And finally, you claim that real people in real life don’t regulate their behavior and feelings to conform to my personal views. Deal with it, right? But here’s the problem: I’m not the only one who feels this way. There are plenty of us who hate cheaters. Now, I’m not saying cheaters should be physically harmed—hell no—but I am saying cheaters suck. They’re selfish. They only think about themselves and hurt the people who care for them. They ain’t shit. The fact that you’re telling me to 'deal with it' means you’re advocating for the cheaters. And if that’s what you’re doing, then yeah, you’re stupid.

So, I believe in divine retribution. For you, I hope you fall in love one day. I hope that person becomes the love of your life, and you do everything you can for them—only for them to turn around and cheat on you. Only then will you understand where I’m coming from. I hope you marry that person, and I hope they cheat on you, fall in love with someone else, and leave you to fend for yourself. If you end up being the person who can’t move on, who stays stuck on the one who betrayed you, only then will you understand why cheating is such a horrible thing and why cheaters suck. Until then, fall in love. I wish you all the misery and pain that comes with it.

All you've done is give me a lengthy yap session. Can you show me one couple who cheated and is still happy? No, you can't. Did I say millions or billions of people? No, I said just one couple, and you can’t even do that. Oh, that's sad, isn’t it? Of course, I hate NTR. Why? Because if it were just about sex—talking about it, understanding it, communicating love through it—then I’d love all of it. But that is NOT the case. If you actually read this series, you would know they haven’t even had sex yet. Ayano ruined her marriage over a kiss. Yet here you are, trying so hard with this performative crap. You can’t debunk anything I’ve said, but you still want to call me performative. The only thing you can claim is that I hate NTR?

It's hilarious. If I were a virgin weeb who didn't know what I was talking about, I wouldn't be speaking from a place of experience. Weebs are cool—we're all anime fans, reading light novels and all that. That's fine. But the 'virgin' part? You couldn't be referring to me, because to be a virgin means I wouldn't have the experience to talk about what I'm talking about. And clearly, I do. You're not in the same boat. You're an idiot if you believe I've never touched a woman. For a second, I'm like, what kind of idiot reads my argument and draws that conclusion? You'd have to be to think that. Normally, when someone says they hate cheaters, you'd ask, 'Oh, why do you hate cheaters?' But you? You assume I've never crossed that line, never touched a woman, never had sex, found love, lost love, or dealt with a cheater. It's hilarious. Maybe you're the weeb, because that's the only conclusion I can draw. Only an idiot would think that. But since that doesn't apply to me, I'm just going to move on, because, again, it doesn't apply.

Next, you say, 'Show me a real-life couple who cheated and are still happy today,' as if either of us has access to the personal records of 8 billion people on this planet. But I never said 8 billion people—I said just give me one. If you had shown me one, your argument would’ve won, and I’d have no choice but to concede that point. But you couldn’t even do that. So, once again, you’re just yapping with nothing to show for it. You’re talking out of your ass because you have no proof to back up what you’re saying. Yeah, makes you look dumb. Here you are, yapping, trying to defend your talking point, and you have nothing to show for it. I threw you a bone—all you had to do was just give me one, and you couldn’t even do that. Let’s move on, because, again, that doesn’t apply to me. (1/2)

If you don’t think cheaters deserve some kind of retribution, you're stupid. Really stupid. I said what I said. If you've got a problem with it, too bad.

Oh, and as for morals, here’s the Bible. Yeah, I know it’s full of cheaters, too, if you'd bother to crack it open and read it. But I guess reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit. It is what it is.

Show me one couple—since you have so much to say—who actually stayed together and remained happy after cheating on their spouses. Are they still happy today? Because if you're talking about real life, remember, you said 'real people.' Sure, some people may stay together after cheating, while the person who was cheated on remains miserable and never moves on. But go ahead—show me a real-life couple who cheated on their spouses and are still happy today. If you can't, then shut up. That's all I'm saying.

In the story, it's clear that the character is cheating on her spouse. If you've read the latest chapters, you'd see she's still struggling with it. She hasn't fully moved on and embraced the new relationship because she's weighed down by guilt over her husband. Meanwhile, the husband is trying to come to terms with the fact that their marriage didn't work out.

The point is, there should be consequences for those who cheat. I hate cheaters. If you've got a problem with that, too bad. I don't care. The story highlights the issue of cheating in a glaring way. You're telling me that if you cheated on your spouse, you'd invite them to a get-together so you can meet up with the person you're cheating with? If that's you, you're trifling and disgusting—someone I'd never talk to or even consider human. If you're that kind of person, you shouldn't be around. But let's be real: that doesn't happen in real life. The writer failed to illustrate that.

No one is saying she shouldn't figure out what it means to be in a relationship with someone she actually cares about. But it's not right for her to drag the relationship on, give her husband hope, and then leave him for someone else. If you're unsure about your feelings after all this time, don't cheat. Show the person you're with some respect. This man did nothing but love her. Sure, the relationship wasn’t perfect, but he supported his wife and wanted to be happy with her, to spend the rest of his life with her. He didn’t get that—his happiness was taken from him. So, of course, I'm going to be more sympathetic toward him than a cheater. Cheaters are selfish. Oh, you wanted to experiment? You found 'love' by hooking up with a stranger at a bar? Well, guess what—you’re married. And it’s not like she didn’t know that. She came home, kissed her husband, hugged him, and then had the audacity to invite him to a get-together so she could meet up with the person she cheated with. That’s disgusting.

Obviously, this was a big deal for Kazuya. He wants to prove his love to Chizuru, so he's considering calling her 'Ichinose' instead of 'Mizuhara.' Whether haters believe there's no development or not, he's clearly trying. For a character who struggles with depression and low self-esteem, it's evident that this is significant to him.
I get the feeling this is foreshadowing something huge coming up—maybe an argument between him and Chizuru, or another attempt at confessing to prove his love during the date. You can tell the moment is coming when he’s finally going to say her name, but I don't think it'll be 'Ichinose.' I think he'll call her 'Chizuru,' which would be a nice touch. But again, haters often refuse to acknowledge development because it's not the kind they want to see, so it is what it is.

I thought this chapter was really good and funny. Kazuya did a great job attempting to say 'Ichi,' and the writer did an excellent job emphasizing that this moment is huge. It may seem insignificant to some, but saying her name in front of her carries a lot of weight. That's why I liked this chapter.

At least someone’s getting a divorce instead of staying in a relationship they don't want. Also, Ayano’s mother is clearly trying to replace her with Kaede and her fiancé. Lol, I guess she can’t have her cake and eat it too 🤣

Why are you trying to shift the argument to something else? Okubo's mother and sister have nothing to do with him being cheated on by his wife.

For the record, I hate cheaters—especially those who cheat on their spouse and then invite them to a get-together just to link up with their lover (AP).

Did you read chapter 10? She wasn’t born gay—her childhood friend kept making romantic advances on her. By the end of the chapter, she realized that her friend was her first love. Still, even if you wanted to argue that she was born gay, it's no excuse to stay in a relationship if she’s going to cheat on her husband. Regardless, Ayano is at fault, and she acknowledges that multiple times throughout the series. She’s trash!

But Ayano was already cheating on him in Chapter 1. By Chapter 5, she introduces him to her lover, which gave her more than enough time to ask for a divorce. Regardless of what Ayano said in Chapter 10, she still chose to drag the relationship out, so she's still at fault.

Of course she's at fault. What makes it even worse is that she dragged out the relationship instead of divorcing her husband right away. He didn’t get the chance to heal; instead, he had to watch helplessly as his marriage crumbled before his eyes, all because his wife wanted to be with someone else.

Congrats on moving in together, but I’m still praying for their downfall.https://i.postimg.cc/hjzVwH1v/i.jpg
Akari: "You can’t run away from guilt."

That’s exactly what I’ve been saying all along!

This man truly loved his wife. No matter how things ended up, no matter the bumps in their relationship, the struggles they faced, or the awkwardness between them, he genuinely loved her. And instead of speaking ill of her after everything that happened, he blames himself. He believes he deserves to be a man with a failed marriage.

Why in the world should they get to be happy while this man is utterly miserable? It’s such a disrespect. It’s not even about her starting a new relationship—it’s about her betrayal of his love. And this man doesn’t even have the strength to blame her. He’d rather blame himself because that’s how deeply he loved her. Honestly, does he deserve this?

"Maybe my family didn’t really get along with her. I worry about my sister," he says. That’s heartbreaking. Genuinely heartbreaking. Even when he should be trying to move on, he’s stuck reflecting, wondering if it was his fault. And that’s just wrong. It’s evil. He did nothing to deserve this.

But his wife—his ex-wife, Ayano—she’s the one at fault. She stepped out of their marriage, and yet he still loved her. In the end, it didn’t matter to her. Now she feels guilty. She had to look Akari in the face, and even Akari said, "You’re an evil woman." It’s true. You can’t run from guilt. It’s true. They’re acknowledging it. Like, bro, this isn’t just consequences. This is them dealing with it. And it’s not fair. None of this is fair.

She hasn't even gotten divorced yet. Right now, she's looking for evidence to catch her husband cheating on her. She needs to find proof first before she can get a divorce. So for now, he's still by himself, dealing with the aftermath of being cheated on and losing everything—his wife, and that’s it. At this point, that's still not good. Even in the recent chapter, the image behind Ayano's name says he's 'working through it.' That's just whack. I'm sorry, but no.

And to answer your question, Ayano should leave his family alone and stay far away from them. They’re divorced now; she’s no longer a part of that family. She doesn’t need to be friends with his sister or talk to his mother. Now that she’s living with Akari, they can focus on their life together. She should stay away from him and anyone involved with him to let him heal. That’s the best thing she can do. She was a terrible wife and disrespected their marriage, and now she’s enjoying her life with Akari. So the best course of action is for her to leave him and anyone connected to him alone. That’s it.

Well, you're completely wrong about that. Karma always exists in real life, even if you're not there to witness it.

Because I'm preying on their downfall, and I want to be there when it happens.
I WANT PROBLEMS!!!!!https://i.postimg.cc/Wpdn8XW0/i.gif

😒 Great they're living together
