This is a PROPER chasing arc! All too often chasing arcs in manga are: ML discovers that his life is worse without the FL and then deciding he has to have her back so his life can be full again, going begging and being forgiven in one or two chapters. That’s not what’s happening here, he’s actually being forced to realize exactly the pain that he caused, exactly all the ways that things went wrong and is truly feeling guilty and apologetic for the pain that he caused and why things have fallen apart and is trying to take responsibility for that and is truly trying to repent to her and she’s not making it easy and that’s even better.
