alright let's see where this leads.

I do kind of love the idea this immediately brings to the table.

to be so disastrously in love with someone and yet she doesn't even know who you are because (it looks like) you never interacted much and your life changing event was just a normal day to her.

Nothing fills you with dread and sadness more than a yuri manga that begins with a marriage.

im wondering if it's that or an amnesia plot line, which would be much less interesting.

Probably shouldn't be getting married if there's someone you can't get over.

I know that adultery is quite common in Japan, but all those stories that starts with a married couple is a big turn off to me...

Well in that case the husband seems to be aware of it, to a certain extent, but still. I'll wait to see what people are saying about it, to judge if it's worth is or not.

Is there anywhere it isn't common?

I think this type of story is somewhat common because of a lot of various circumstances with society, and I think that's pretty global.

Well, I'll be honest, I never looked into the numbers, but Japan has a reputation of having a big issue with sexless marriage and having a lot of extra conjugale affairs. To the point that in some married couple, there is an unspoken agreement about "be discreet, and we won't talk about it".

That's interesting, and I should say part of my experience is that I know a good amount of people that have had relationship complications in this regard (and other ways), so that's a big reason I figure it's pretty common globally. People are complicated and messy.

Fair enough. I still have a strong dislike of cheating (well, like most people), and it really turns me off. But given how common it is, I guess it makes sense that it's fairly often seen in fiction as well.

Yeah I'm definitely not a fan of cheating either. Though it can be interesting in a story if it's explored in a meaningful way, while still being an uncomfortable ride. Also yeah with a genre like romance I expect things like cheating to pop up here and there, as it's something that comes up with some relationships.

was totally convinced this was a oneshot until i read the comments lol

Could the photo she ate be of the alley that her crush was kissing in? If so that's so unhinged and i'm entirely here for it.
