I'm pretty sure Risako has loved Kaoru since high school but never wanted to act on the feelings. At least that's how I saw it lol pretty sure she was only using Reiichi but Reiichi loved Risako LOL this is messed up. I also feel like this chapter was updated so fast cause the other team would have translated it so readers wouldn't have to wait a year for it which is why there are mistakes LOL
I don't care how flowery and nice your words are, you disregarded the feelings of your friends that your "supposedly" interested in and that makes you the worst.
I hope Kaoru cuts ties with both these people and finds uta cause shes the only one out of this cast to have Kaoru's best interest at heart
I wonder how the story would have been If Risako admitted in High school she was in love with kaoru. The only dialogue I see in her mind about it it's like:
"Admit I'm in love with kaoru or burn everything on fire? Seems like option two is better, yeh"
So everybody love kouru instead of her husband . And her husband love one of his wifes lover.What the F actually lame.
So Reiichi and Risako will be alone at the end.
Well, now that I have catched up I only have a conclusion.
The only ones that deserve to be together are Kuroe and Miyabi. Even if their relationship isn't completely horizontal at the moment.
Every other character struggling on this manga, I hope they end up alone and move on. For their own health. Specially Uta and Kaoru.
If they are gonna end up together I would like to have their issues resolved first. Uta is is getting there but there's some path to walk through yet. Kaoru is in the verge of despair, but she's trying to stay strong and take the blows directly.
