the way it was handled was just toxic and disgusting lmao why yall tryna promote it as something cute as if a shitty person deserves a happy ending yikes
Yes, their relationship was toxic, I never said their relationship was cute? All I said was that it was realistic and that it shouldn't get a low rating just because one of the characters was a cheater. And unfortunately, in real life, people do stupid shit and take their partners for granted and get forgiven.
I reviewed this manga based on how it touched on common themes all people experience in long term relationships..growth and change. I am in my first long term relationship (6 years) and the couple in this manga was going on 10years?? I mean anyone who's been in a long term relationship know the occasional "what if..." thoughts...or get bored, or gradually grow apart...and to stay together you really have to put in the effort.
anyway. Im just rambling right now. i appreciate this manga Haha. This manga isnt for everyone.
This shouldnt get a low rating simply because there's cheating involved. This manga has a lot of feels and I know people who've had similar relationship issues.
Many commenters asked why did he cheat? I think the point was that they've are in a long term relationship, I would say 4 or so years? Anyone who's been in a long term relationship know there are occasions when you find others attractive etc...nothing wrong with that either. it's when you catch yourself thinking those thoughts which is what Arata did. People cheat in long term relationships for many different reasons but I think the mangaka was trying to show that it takes a conscious effort to be faithful to your partner, especially when things get very comfortable with your partner and end up taking them for granted...forgiveness in the end is also a theme as well.
