I hope everyone saying "Sacchan shouldn't feel bad because she did figure stuff out about herself / improve as a person by cheating!" never gets into a relationship, holy shit haha.
Sure you shouldn't feel bad about discovering more things about yourself or anything like that, but the fact that they're completely forgetting the other party here (Ruki) is worrying. It shouldn't be "I'm sorry that I became a better person", it's "I'm sorry that I hurt you, upset you and betrayed your trust".
But she completely disregards Ruki. I'm not saying she's a poor character, she's not, she's realistic because there's plenty of people like her in real life. Selfish and self-centered. And the relationship is very realistic as well, because there are a lot of relationships consisting of one partner being a selfish asshole that puts themself before anything else, and the other partner being either too timid to speak up against them or so blindly in love with them that they lap up their "But I really do love you and want you to be happy, I promise wink wink" excuses every single time without question.
So I like this manga. Yeah it's not cute or fluffy or sexy or anything, but it's one of the few that gives a solid example of a very unhealthy relationship.
