😒 Great they're living together

You know, in Japan, when someone is caught cheating, the spouse has every right to sue the person they cheated with, up to 3 million yen. So not only should his wife and her girlfriend have been held financially accountable, but I firmly believe that karma should’ve played a role too.
Secondly, I also believe that the mother and sister should’ve cut ties with the ex-wife after what she did to their son and brother. Maintaining a relationship with her after that betrayal was just blatant disrespect. I don’t care if the sister went through something similar—it doesn’t matter. Your brother was cheated on, and just because you got involved with a married man doesn’t give you the right to betray your own brother by staying in touch with the woman who wronged him.

Life shouldn’t just be about overcoming obstacles to be together. There should be consequences for their actions, and karma should be a huge factor in their story—but it’s not.

And to add to that, when it comes to cheating, if someone is willing to cheat with you, they'll eventually cheat on you. That could've been a valuable lesson in this situation, but we didn't get that. The story isn’t over yet, but based on what I've seen so far, there are no real consequences—and there probably never will be.

In moments where the truth is revealed, like during the parent-teacher conference, the main character acknowledges her actions, yet the consequences are minimal. The narrative gives the impression that as long as she understands her mistake, it’s acceptable. But where is the silver lining? How does she learn from this experience?
From my perspective, the story lacks a sense of justice. If you’re going to portray infidelity, there should be meaningful repercussions. The husband’s voice is marginalized, and the story centers on the relationship that formed from cheating without addressing the pain caused to him.

Ultimately, I don’t respect the narrative because it seems to justify cheating. The message appears to be that it’s okay to pursue love despite the hurt caused to others. I want to see characters acknowledge their wrongs and grow from them. Otherwise, it risks glorifying infidelity instead of providing a genuine exploration of its consequences
[Part 2/2]

Unfortunately, I can't see it from your perspective. The point I'm making leads to the fact that, yes, the husband had a realization after the divorce that the relationship wasn’t working. But he knew that early on. From the beginning, he recognized that the relationship was dying; she had an emotional affair and pursued it behind his back. His conclusion at the end merely solidified what he had already been experiencing.

I understand the mother comes from an older generation where families stick together, but she didn’t protect her son. Instead of checking on his mental state, she pushed him to fix the relationship, calling the idea of divorce “dumb.” Watching his wife fall in love with someone else while feeling helpless is devastating. Yet, she hoped the main character would find love, which complicates things.

Her actions suggest she prioritized her relationship with the main character over her son’s feelings, which is unacceptable. Just because the sister confronts her, it doesn't make the relationship with the ex-wife okay. The mother should have had her son’s back, but she chose not to. After the divorce, the husband was left to heal alone, and the story doesn’t delve into how he copes with his pain. It’s simply brushed aside.
The story fails to focus on the consequences of the affair. Cheating is undeniably wrong, yet the author doesn’t show any repercussions for the main character. Sure, there’s a confrontation, but ultimately, she forgives and moves on with the woman she cheated with. How is that a good resolution?

The main character should have been held accountable for her actions, and the sister should have been there to support her brother instead of developing a relationship with the ex-wife. The husband’s suffering is sidelined, while the narrative focuses on the love story of the two cheaters, ignoring the emotional fallout.

If the story is about good people making mistakes, it fails to address the consequences of those mistakes. There’s no karma or growth for the main character. The emotional weight of the husband’s experience is overlooked, reducing his trauma to a mere plot device for the others’ development.
[Part 1/2]

I completely disagree. The evidence is right in front of you. The author doesn’t just downplay the cheating, they glorify it. The main character still finds acceptance and forgiveness from her ex’s family. The mother is okay with her. The sister is okay with her. They still have a great relationship, as if a couple of mistakes justify everything. But where’s the support for the husband? He gets cheated on, and it’s treated like it’s no big deal—it was just a kiss, right?

At one point, the husband wants a divorce, and what does the mother say? “That’s dumb.” How is that not glorifying the cheating when the mother is brushing it off, telling her son to fix the relationship? No. If you’ve emotionally connected with someone else, the relationship is already broken. Just end it and save the man from further pain.

The author blatantly writes this situation, then poses the question, “Is this okay?” Meanwhile, both cheaters are given more obstacles to overcome, as if it’s some heroic struggle to fight for their love. But what about the husband? He’s left to deal with his pain alone, with no real resolution. The story doesn’t explore the mental toll that being cheated on and seeing your ex still close with your family would have. That omission alone shows how the story glorifies cheating.

Even if the characters are portrayed as “good people who made mistakes,” it doesn’t matter—there are no real consequences for their actions. The only one who suffers is the person who was cheated on. For you to say there’s no evidence of the writer glorifying cheating is just false. You’re choosing to ignore it.

Even if the author is trying to show that “people make bad decisions,” the woman didn’t just make a mistake. She chose to pursue her affair instead of ending her marriage. She gave her husband false hope that things could work out, only for him to lose everything—the woman he loved, the life he wanted to build with her. And what does he get in return? Nothing but misery. His family, meanwhile, is still okay with the woman who cheated on him. There’s no fallout, no consequences.

Realistically, how could any family member, with a good relationship with their son, continue to be okay with someone who hurt him so deeply? The story even has the mother wondering when the main character will find the girl she fell in love with—further glorifying the infidelity and the relationship born out of it.

So yeah, I 100% disagree with you. If you choose not to acknowledge the evidence, that’s fine, but it’s right there, clear as day.

Trifling

How vile is it that his wife invites him to a get-together with the woman she's sleeping with? That's messed up, man. From very early in the series, it's clear that the only real victim here is the husband

All you're saying is that it's okay to cheat and that it's fine for the husband to be left miserable. And then you say she didn’t try to justify it? What are you talking about? She literally invited her husband to a get-together with the person she’s cheating on him with. He already knew what was going on, yet she still invited him, trying to justify the situation. What, like, ‘Maybe if I introduce you to my mistress, it’ll make everything okay’? Are you serious? That’s completely wrong. If she didn’t want to be with him, fine. But don’t drag it out. Don’t sit there embracing another relationship while cheating on your husband.

If she truly felt that way from the beginning, why didn’t she just divorce him? After that very first night with the other woman, she should’ve told him, ‘Hey, I’m exploring my life as a lesbian, I’ve fallen in love with someone else, and I want to end this marriage.’ That way, things could’ve been handled right away. But no—she kept seeing that woman behind his back. And after finally telling him, she had the nerve to invite him to meet her. Lord, have mercy. That is absolutely justifying the situation, and it’s disgusting.

To make matters worse, the woman she’s cheating with was already in another relationship with a woman who left her to get married. Clearly, she doesn’t understand boundaries either. At the end of the chapter, she’s crying, saying, ‘Why are they always married?’ She knows she’s been in this situation before, but she still pursued a married woman. There’s no way to justify that, but they’re trying to.

It's pathetic to portray this woman’s love life as overshadowed by guilt because it comes across like, 'I know I wronged people—someone who truly cared about me—but this is the love I wanted, so it's fine.' The series fails to recognize that the real person who was wronged is the husband. He was a good man who loved his wife, worked hard for her, provided for her, and made sure she didn’t have to worry about anything. She was a schoolteacher, living comfortably, but she was cheating on him. She fell in love with someone else to the point where she couldn’t even bear to be touched by her husband. How do you do that to someone who loves you?
To me, this series glorifies cheating. Nothing bad happens to the person who cheats, and I’m not saying something terrible should happen, but the writer only seems to justify it. The one left miserable and alone is the husband. What’s even more disrespectful is that the ex-wife has the audacity to still keep in contact with his mother and sister. 'Oh, you know Arie’s mom?'—no, you mean your ex-husband’s mother, the man you refuse to acknowledge because you know you wronged him. This series is pathetic.

This series sends a clear message that it’s okay to get cheated on. The person who cheats continues to live a good life, while the one who’s been betrayed is left alone and miserable. This... not a good story.

No consequences

I feel sorry for the husband

Oh, no consequences? The writer clearly doesn't care that they created a story about a cheating wife who faces no repercussions for betraying her husband. Meanwhile, the husband is left in pain, forced to endure humiliation—and that's it. This is trash.

Kubaru is so crazy that the thought of her being afraid of someone would seem physically impossible.
