Also -- why is everyone psychoanalyzing this manga?

We got time.

Yuri cheating is great!

Not always.

I don't get this "you have to get married because mom says it".I guess it is other culture or just fiction to make a manga.

It's more "society expects it" and it's expected norm. People expect you to marry before you're 30 and have kids. Part of it is general stability, but there's also expectation that it's what makes you a productive member of society and it's your responsibility to the country. It's especially common in Asian countries, but definitely not exclusive to them.

It's not uncommon in western culture either, to hear every woman during family gatherings to immediately go for "do you have a boyfriend? when are you getting married? I'm waiting for grandchildren" etc. It's getting less and less common with younger generations, but it still happens.

On top of that, people have various relations with their families, so words that mean nothing to you might hit really deep for someone else. Or even if you, intellectually, don't care, you may care emotionally. Eg. I don't particularly care about what my parents think about my life choices, but while going through therapy I noticed that a lot of my decisions are influenced by fulfilling the trust and support I was given while growing up.

And for most people in Japan, the pressure is probably 10x of what we feel in the west, due to being raised in a culture that puts much greater importance on fulfilling your role, being a meaningful member of society etc.

I'm kinda conflicted on this one to be honest, If anything i'm kinda starting to dislike MC a bit, she's basically leading BOTH of them on here.
But at the same time I don't want to put all the blame on her considering she can't just divorce him and go on with her life like she would be able to do here in the U.S.

Also the husband isn't as trash as I thought this series would make him out to be, just lacking in tact, I can't really hate him.... yet. I won't be surprised if they end up pulling a Netsuzou Trap lol

'Marriage and having kids in a country with dangerously atrocious birthrates and the same anti-traditionalist circles that divided and crippled other countries growing by the day? How repugnant. Better cheat on my obviously dislikeable dimlow of a Japanese Male™ that I'm already not honest about my opinions of to any of the people that push me to continue my family's existence.'

I love how everyone is so incredibly upset/angry over a manga with the "CHEATING" tag that they willingly chose to read.

Cryptofascism? On my dynasty scans? It’s more likely than you think

You get money for the most vitriolic self-righteous moralistic condemnation of the fictional behavior of imaginary people.

I mean, you must, right? Has to be a pretty tidy sum, too . . .

Hell, I’d do it for a couple bucks. Getting to rant the day’s stresses away AND being able to afford a bottle of iced tea? Sounds like a win to me.

It was on Mangadex for a while before now, so maybe you saw it there?

I like the description about days spent by the inklab, because it tells us that the relationship between Chinami and Yukako has always been rather formless and abstract, focused more around simply being rather than pursuing anything or looking for romantic goals. In that sense, you could say it's less driven than a conventional marriage with 'objectives' of cohabitation and childhood, but as Yukako is starting to realize, that comfortable, companionable warmth might be precisely what she wanted her entire life. This isn't a steamy kind of affair- it's an attempt to reconnect, and find some semblance of satisfaction.

Chinami going on the offensive is great to see, because she's done playing the patient, invisible lover. She realizes that the their relationship only really became intimate once she took charge back when they were teenagers, and understands that she needs to do so again, because Yukako isn't strong enough. She'll invite Chinami in, let her get a foot in the door, but that's pretty much it- the rest is up to Chinami and her confidence. At last, we're approaching equivalency, as both parties to the affair reveal and seize their true desires.

Also, Dickey Spouse getting an SSR made me chuckle, because depressed salarymen seeking happiness in gacha waifus is quite realistic. If nothing else, he's used up all his luck for a while.

Yeah I had to reread this comment like four times understand it, because my brain didn't want to make the jump to realize it was fascist 'progressives and homosexuals ruining the world' bullshit in the comment section of a yuri manga on a yuri-focused site.

afk was kind enough to pick this up and share it with because the version originally on MangaDex was, sadly...not the best effort out there.

Fascism obviously, but I'm not sure how crypto it is.

I wouldn't want to take all the credit for this one. Kikaluna provided the raws, and was the one who asked me to translate the series, and, starting from Chapter 3, zats, the editor for Suito-to!, will be helping me with this one as well.

I never read off of mangadex so I guess I just misremembered something similar. Still I enjoy(?) This series and it's interesting premise. Kinda curious to see if the author has done any other more uhh.. wholesome yuri stuff.
