Well that was an interesting ending. I was kinda shocked when they actually divorced even though I had been team divorce but the sudden focus on children made me think that might cause an issue. Also the college kid being in love with her threw me for a loop. When they divorced I thought she’d go back to him, was a nice surprise seeing her be alone after the divorced. Overall the loss of her mom was unexpected but I wasn’t expecting that to be the catalyst for them getting together especially since they were already divorced. So I guess now they’re together? But not married on paper? I understand that it’s technically a new relationship but yea definitely a weird series. I didn’t go in expecting a romance series but still it tried to highlight the complexities of marriage, which I would say it didn’t do mostly. Overall wouldn’t recommend this series but if you’re curious about it go ahead and see if it’s for you.

As a person that constantly thinks about marriage and what it all means, this manga really checks a lot of boxes for me. I went in this on a whim and ended up reading it all in one day. It’s not exciting or romantic or suspenseful, but I just couldn’t stop turning the pages.

I highly suggest to not read this with romance in mind. Do not think about a side to take or who to cheer for. It’s just about humans trying to deal with humans, and the many mistakes everyone makes.

I loved this series through and through. The trying-to-have-a-child subplot felt a bit rushed. I wouldn't have minded if this had been spread to two volumes. My heart was in my chest when they got divorced and I felt torn between wanting a happy ending for the couple and a realistic one. Fortunately, I got both! The couple reconnecting over her mom's death and funeral totally made sense as a reason for them to get back together as did their decision to ultimately not define their relationship. What a fascinating, complex, thought-provoking series!

I had legitimately so much fun describing the plot of this series to one of my friends. It's **MESSY**, and none of the characters are really likeable, but the author doesn't shy away from showing just how unlikeable the characters are. It almost made me root for them more.

Eh. This is just one of those throwaway series for me. I read it all, but there was no real catharsis I felt.
