i mean, feels like it'd be something some ppl would hide but easier to talk about that then getting caught in an affair. plus with the manga title idk if they'd do 50 chapters just for a fakeout
note would be weird tho , or some weird 4d chess of the husband making it up to 'test' the wife to see what she'd do which is also kinda fucked up
i think it makes it interesting commentary if they didn't loosely base it on a handful of ppl's existing anecdotes . or tried to be vague, imagine if they let too much spill in an author's note or so lol or just did it as they went along not fully deciding yet (but given 50 chapters i'd assume they'd know ten chapters in who they want it to be)
This is one messed up circle of friends. So quickly AND nonchalantly accusing each other of having an affair with her husband. I still believe all of them are in on it though.
