i actually really liked asuka. also i normally always get second ml syndrome, theyre always the better character and treat the fl so much better than the ml, so much so that i dont even give a shit that shes "in love" with the ml. for this one though, i know that her and kamiya wouldve been a perfect match, but i dont think it would've lasted, just cause u can see that all her ideals revolve around her loving who shes with. also he wasnt so amazing a guy that i HAD to root for him. moving on, i also wasnt impressed with the ml, hes so selfish but he doesnt see it. hes idea of marriage was so frustrating cause he thought of it as a curse becasue it binds u down?? bro every relationship should do that to u if ur committed, i see the back story and all but it was just dumb. also, throughout the story u could tell that the type of partner he needed was a stay at home wife. i will admit a lot of the problems werent specifically him but his career, but he still gave that priority over her. maybe its cause im not old enough or cause im not Japanese, but i really dont see why ur work life should be intruding into ur personal life. the fl is a really good example of how it should be, cause even though she was serious about her career too it ever disrupted their relationship. she was also always the one comprising, she was looking after the home and her work, like she should be so much more exhausted. and i get that the ml always really supportive and stuff but sometime (often) they kind of just left it to the power of love. i was really happy with her decision to break up. i think the perfect plot would have been of she feel for kamiya first but since that didnt happen, the way it went was probably the second best option. unlike how it seems, i did enjoy reading it, and the second lead thing was done well cause unlike other mangas i didnt feel the urge to sock the ml, erase the fl memories and have her end up with sml.
