I love stories like these—where both the main characters have a life outside of their relationship, something which further enriches the time they spend together.
The time they spend talking about random things like what they want to have for dinner, or the books they recently read, really make everyday life seem more precious than we take it to be.
Reading this manga always makes me more energized to return back to the real world, something which is very uncommon for most of the works I come across
I was kind of surprised to see the brown-haired friend of Robin (Soojin) jump so quickly to assume that Robin was a player and a trashy person.
Maybe I didn't fully grasp what he was doing wrong but it just didn't feel like he did something so bad as to warrant the way Soojin initially treated Robin based on her assumptions about him.
Is that a Korea-only thing or is it the same every where?

I knew Jiu wasn't going to get a good ending but it still hurts to see him be abandoned right till the end. 'A body was never found' but if he's not with Hizuki (and not necessarily in a romantic way), then that means he's once again just living a life where no one truly understands him, although this time he's maybe a little more at peace with himself.
For the sake of my sanity, I'm just gonna imagine that these two are now happily living together in a cottage core house on a cliff overlooking the sea
╥﹏╥










Honestly, the part where Mahiru sees random strangers hard at their respective jobs and he ends up feeling depressed because he can't bring himself to do the same, hit me pretty hard.
Whenever I'm having a bad day and I see people passing by as I commute, I always used to feel the same way. I didn't even realize how much I've been spiralling recently until I read this and felt so bad for Mahiru, only to realize I'm basically looking at myself here and I need to be kinder to myself like I'm being kind to a fictional character.
Anyways, came here for the smut (I love down-bad characters like Ogino) but going away with a lighter heart
