This manga is really for a mature audience. It deals with life after the 30s where people tend to get bored of their relationship. It also deals with how couples started to take everything for granted after some years of being together. Also couples like most of them will start to lose interest in sex after being married for many years. These kinds of the topics the author discusses along with characters of different ages and perspectives.
The ways the author handles emotions are very grounded and realistic without clichs and cinematic liberty. It goes deep into intimacy and the emotion after being cheated or to cheat. the author used the characters wisely and made them move along the story.
This is an unusual manga given the theme that it tackles namely dead bedrooms. For those of who are unaware a dead bedroom is one in which a couple usually married have drifted apart to such an extent that despite cohabiting the same bed they have lost all intimacy with one another. There is little emotional intimacy and zero physical intimacy between the couple. The lack of intimacy is usually the result of one person having either lower sexual libido or no longer finding their spouse attractive/exciting enough to arouse the feelings of intimacy/love that was present at the inception of the relationship. Needless to say such relationships can often be stressful for both partners and often result in the couple either breaking up or indulging in extramarital affairs. Both leads are married to different people and one day console each other about their worries in which they become more close.
They continuously meet and console each other about their problems. Obviously as colleagues. While you are reading you will understand why the leads are upset with their partners and why they arent happy in their marriage. Its pretty realistic but in a good way.
While consoling each other several times they both realize they have a lot in common and eventually fall in love.
Ill be honest but the partners of the leads will annoy you because of their behavior. But other than that I like the leads since they actually attempt to fix and enjoy their marriage. They dont give up on their marriage. But because of the lack of communication between them and their partners it eventually falls apart. Slowly but eventually.
By the end I hope the leads end up together
I found this review Helpful
Coming to the art it is very clean and easy to understand. The play looks simple yet beautiful.
Well this comes as one of my favorite manga and also gives me an insight into life and marriage. which may help me to lead my life. Do I recommend this? If you are a fellow who enjoys the typical shonen/shoujo stuff relating to fluffy romances sugoidekai girlfriends or ideal waifu like characters no. Stay away from this. This is not the manga that depicts ideal pure relationships where characters blush when experiencing an indirect kiss from sharing a can of dietcoke. This is realistic stuff and real life gets messy. If you are the type of person who is OK with reading a realistic take on adult romance give it a shot.
