This is such a good story， yet so sad， on several fronts。We have Ayano， who's supposedly happily married to Wataru。 One night Ayano goes into a cheap bar and gets chatted up by a gal that works there。 One thing leads to another， and now， Ayano has cheated on her husband。 Well， sort of。 However， the Bible says "If you look at a woman with lust in your heart， you've already committed adultery。" So， regardless of what base Ayano and Akira made it to， the fact still stands that she strayed from her This is such a good story， yet so sad， on several fronts。We have Ayano， who's supposedly happily married to Wataru。 One night Ayano goes into a cheap bar and gets chatted up by a gal that works there。 One thing leads to another， and now， Ayano has cheated on her husband。 Well， sort of。 However， the Bible says "If you look at a woman with lust in your heart， you've already committed adultery。" So， regardless of what base Ayano and Akira made it to， the fact still stands that she strayed from her husband。 Now that he's been told about things， and even gone with Ayano to meet Akira， Wataru is actually taking this whole matter very well。 He's not mad。 He's not wanting to dump Ayano asap。 He makes it clear that he still loves Ayano， and wants to stay together and try to work things out。 Along those lines， Wataru's mother finds out what Ayano did， and she insists that her son and Ayano come live with them。 A fresh start， if you will。 Ayano goes to tell Akira that she's moving， and staying with her husband。 However， it's obvious that's not what she truly wants。 Well， Akira thinks she's seen the last of Ayano。 She gets a special invite to return to work at the famous salon she used to work at。 Akira also decides to move， determined to get a fresh start。 Then， one morning， she walks out her front door and looks up， shocked to see none other than Ayano coming out of the house across the street。。。 just when they both thought they had made a clean break and were moving on， the flying fickle finger of fate throws the two gals right back together。 There's some very real issues in this book。 Depression， anxiety， bullying， heartbreak， shutting one's self off from the world， denying one's own heart， lying， frustration， angst， and suspicion。 This is such a good story， but be ready for an emotional roller-coaster ride！ By the by， this series is by the same Mangaka who did Sweet Blue Flowers。 If you haven't already， I strongly suggest you check it out。 。。。more

I'm dropping this。 I don't like any of the characters， the story's not interesting to me， and I'm really frustrated with how the cheating aspect is being handled。 This is just not for me。 I'm dropping this。 I don't like any of the characters， the story's not interesting to me， and I'm really frustrated with how the cheating aspect is being handled。 This is just not for me。 。。。more

Complex and well writtenA brilliantly written and drawn story about a group of adults who seem to fail at adulting。 This volume focuses more on the husband's family，which has it's own brand of dysfunction without the added drama of a daughter-in-law who has fallen in love with another woman。 The overbearing mother-in-law is brilliantly crafted。 She is just sympathetic enough to prevent the reader from feeling she's a 'sneering evil villain'， but her forceful way of dismissing other people's conc Complex and well writtenA brilliantly written and drawn story about a group of adults who seem to fail at adulting。 This volume focuses more on the husband's family，which has it's own brand of dysfunction without the added drama of a daughter-in-law who has fallen in love with another woman。 The overbearing mother-in-law is brilliantly crafted。 She is just sympathetic enough to prevent the reader from feeling she's a 'sneering evil villain'， but her forceful way of dismissing other people's concerns and leveraging Ayano's infidelity to get her way is positively Machiavellian。 The final chapter of the volume gives valuable insight into Ayano's past and shows that her falling for a woman wasn't something purely out of the blue。 Highly recommended！ 。。。more

A surprise turn， as the two ladies try to deal with the fallout from their encounter by diverting themselves to other things。 But even changing jobs and moving doesn't get them away from themselves or their feelings。 Be interesting to see where the reunion at the end takes them。 A surprise turn， as the two ladies try to deal with the fallout from their encounter by diverting themselves to other things。 But even changing jobs and moving doesn't get them away from themselves or their feelings。 Be interesting to see where the reunion at the end takes them。 。。。more

I’ve mistaken regular-ass horniness for the cosmic pull of destiny before。 And I always ended up worse off for it。You would like to think that being an adult means you wouldn’t make the dumb choices you did in your youth， but， as it indicates in this very title， really it means you still make dumb choices， you’re just way more cognizant of it。This series is truly remarkable and this volume maintains the high quality bar from the first instalment while piling on to our heroines like nobody’s busi I’ve mistaken regular-ass horniness for the cosmic pull of destiny before。 And I always ended up worse off for it。You would like to think that being an adult means you wouldn’t make the dumb choices you did in your youth， but， as it indicates in this very title， really it means you still make dumb choices， you’re just way more cognizant of it。This series is truly remarkable and this volume maintains the high quality bar from the first instalment while piling on to our heroines like nobody’s business。 How much do you want to upset your life in order to get what you truly want？ Or to avoid it？ These are the questions staring down our characters this time out。Traditional Japanese family life doubles down on Ayano， who is saddled with an incredibly obnoxious mother-in-law of the ‘mean-spirited by way of being helpful’ variety， who quickly susses out the problem and then proposes an awkward solution to it。Then， her husband decides to sublimate any sympathy he had engendered thus far by siccing Ayano’s sister on Akari （although she turns out to be much less an instrument of vengeance than you might have thought） and later by essentially refusing Ayano’s own desires。 Phew。We also get two very separate but very interesting looks at depression， one of which is so smartly real in depicting a particular type that it deserves praise。 The other is left a little murkier for now， but I suspect it was even more serious than the one we do hear about。And this is all before we even touch on Akari， who’s still unable to get over her fascination （I think infatuation might be more apt， but they’ve been going at this for a while） with Ayano。 The two have one hell of an awkward home visit that pretty much sums up this series in a nutshell。There is SO much here and it’s all interesting and all worth talking about。 This is one of the most interesting manga I have ever read and it’s only been getting better。 When Akari tears into Ayano， super-deservedly， but then can’t bring herself to cut ties？ That’s good storytelling and completely fits what we know of her experiences。To say nothing of the very ‘school yuri’ flashback we get， which ends up showing how Ayano was once a ‘prince’ in an all girl’s school and some other girl’s brief fascination with her ended up awakening something far more in Ayano。 The friction between the traditional and these people who don’t tick those “normal” boxes is a big theme this whole volume。Do I have quibbles？ Sure， a couple。 The art is delightful， especially the food （you try reading this and not craving a skillet）， but some of the character design is a little too same-y because of the art style。 One section switches from one person to another who’s a dead ringer for them， but this second one is a new character and it’s not super obvious until squinting way too much。 There’s also a little narrative contrivance sneaking in here and there， but you can always chalk that up to destiny if you want。5 stars， easy。 Yes， there are some small flaws but the overall package is so strong and everything so compelling。 This makes manga focused on adults look so easy that you’ll wonder why more authors don’t do it。 。。。more
