Dropped near mid way :/. I don't like the husband/to be husband (couldn't be bothered to remember his name) . I honestly just feel bad for Sakurako and wish he could find love on his own terms and honestly, a better partner. Like "oh, my brother is harrasing you, but I have work so I can't come to deal with it." Clearly, you don't understand how it feels to worry for your own safety cuz a stupid man can't take no for an answer. Even how he lukewarmly handled Sakura's pain of not being able to truly find love with "can't be helped, you're mom is to blame, not you" and then a split second later, ooh you so soft & well mannered (you're a proper lady) that other girls just don't do it for me now so let's have a sex( correction: let's see how far I can go with you cuz you're a man and I'm horny) like where's the development, where's the acceptance and understanding of each other, where's the love? I don't get it. Also, I hate it when authors do the whole rape ploy and the seme goes I hate it if you're touched by others CUZ OTHERS CANNOT HAVE YOU + YOU CAN'T HAVE ANYONE BUT ME and then have kinda rough sex because" did you enjoy when the other man touched you?" Sir, this isn't about you. Author, it isn't about the "possessive insensitive man seme" it's about the other party who was violated, literally crying because it's traumatic and painful to ever experience something like that, why have a rape ploy and the rapist just goes(who is the brother who couldn't take no for an answer --> do you the see the utter lack of consent as a overall theme in this manga)" why is you with a man?" And then a very late and almost cold half assed "sorry". Where are the consequences for his horrible behaviour? The reprimanding or even the acknowledgement by the author that what happened was a wrong thing. Regardless, I don't feel the love. Never did from the beginning. There was no friendship either at least not from his end, like he's 17 and you as the older person can't be bothered to help around the house, it's the "wife's duty". I know the review is all over the place, I needed to vent this out and warn myself to never waste time on this nonsense again.
