https://anilist.co/manga/42585/Undercurrent/ I talk a lot. A whole lot of nonsense piled upon a fragment of truth I tend to confuse people whenever I talk. Or thats what I think I see in their eyes but how would I know? You feel so insecure about your little truth so you deceive yourself with words and actions and hear people say you are this and that. Before you notice you depend on those words you depend on those responses their thoughts and you get consumed by your fake personality so much that one day you look back on your little truth and regret was it ever worth all the lies youve built. Undercurrent talks about the little truths we tend to hide from people how that effects us and everything around us. Kanae takes care of her bathhouse the community treats her as a strong woman whos living by while having her lovely husband disappear. Why and for what reason he was gone she never imagined why someone like him disappear on her but as her lonely time goes on she questions about whether she really know anything about her husband. Understanding someone What does it truly mean to understand someone? In a time where everyone has more than a mask to wear how do you even understand someone? Or what does understanding someone would mean in this context? Undercurrent warns you that the ocean is more than the waves you see people are more than the faces they use. You can declare you know someone for your entire life yet your close friend your girlfriend/boyfriend your family could one day just leave you for reasons beyond your control and comprehension. Kanae is a strong married woman who takes care of her bath house while dealing with the unexplainable disappearance of her husband. She suffers and anguishes over why this has befallen on her while simultaneously acknowledging the fact that she herself is running from her little truth. A rather disturbing truth she keeps on carrying for her whole life which she never talks about even with her husband she loved so much. Pain and guilt are worth expressing out because you give them a chance to be forgiven. Hiding it will only sink you into its depths until you suffocate and die. Much like Kanae kanaes husband and the new guy in bathhouse also suffer with their buried little truths. Though one lies along with it while the other simply turns their eyes away from it. At this small shore... The entire mood of this manga is simple. It doesnt intend to be some grand message I might have explained so far but it does so in a way that feels personal and oddly normal. The simple art and character designs works in its favor as well. Conclusion Its dramatic tragic a bit goofy at times and wants one to be a bit open with others. You never know when someone might disappear in your life so why not see more of them and say your true feelings?
