Yeah, see I lose more and more sympathy for kaoru with each chapter/acts & thoughts of how SHE wants things to be. Yuko has to change her shampoo so she can smell like her old mom. She never takes accountability or acknowledges her behavior that drove her mother into a corner. Her mother is rightfully concerned and freaked out by what Kaoru did in order to obtain money.
Now she’s trauma dumping on this couple and expecting them to take responsibility. All with nary a care for Tsukasa or the life she left behind. Not that Hasumi is much better, but she knows he’s in love with her and is probably expecting him to become her brother rather than her husband. And then there’s the baby she’s carrying. Kaoru is very selfish and singleminded. I don’t know what’ll happen in the remaining chapters, but I can’t bring myself to root for Kaoru or hasumi.
Tsukasa & the blonde boy (can’t remember his name rn) make a more interesting duo and couple imo
