So at the end the mangaka made the wife completely snap and become 10x more horrible than she ever was before in the manga to make it ok that she dies ? it was almost too much of a stretch for her character so it didn't sit right with me, it really just seemed like the mangaka was doing everything they could to get us disgusted with her at the very end so that they could kill her off.
