I get frustrated when people in the comments for this manga start talking shit about the story because the guy cheated in the past. I’m not a fan of it at all in books and it’s normally something that would make me out the story down but the story literally wouldn’t have been as good or worked thematically without it. The whole thing is about regrets and misspent time, right? People regretting how they’re spending their last days before a meteor hits, people regretting not being present for someone who was depressed, etc etc…like the whole thing is centered around making amends and moving forward and healing despite those regrets because, ultimately, the world doesn’t end and you just keep going and do what you can to live better in the future. The ML having regretted his behavior, changed, and essentially built a stable future for the two of them via the house really plays into this theme and is done really well.
