You guys don't get it. Dude needs to get some confidence through independence. If they got married right there and then, dude will always feel inferior, and never grow as a person.
I think that's what most don't get. They think "relationships magically fix everything" when it doesn't. The man realized he needs to fix himself and grow as a person before he can be with anyone. Self-growth is needed

Relationships are hard but its even harder when you feel like you can't carry yourself in a team.
It isn't like people don't get it, jesus christ, it just is unecessary at this point and actually takes away from all the enjoyable progress until now.
He grew for 13 chapters. I should ask you what you don't get, lol.

confidence through independence
Yeah, not like he got any from (solo-)managing a relationship, a "rival", their housekeeping, his majorly strained relationship with his mom and her parents etc.
It actively hurts his character and the manga as a whole. Why even bother reading 13 chapters when it ends up where it started. Just false virtue all around.

This is great and completely consistent with how those characters behaved so far, I honestly just don't understand the frustrated comments. I'm more surprised that the parents just kinda turned out to be relatively OK with all of that, since so far they were potrayed like this oppresive force that made Rui go with this shit in the first place, so it's a bit weird that now it's just resolved (meanwhile, we learned that it's Kyousuke's mom that's actually awful :p)

But it doesn't? Ignoring the fact that both of them have discovered their feelings and made them explicit to one another.
Kyousuke has now gained the courage to act, to try and better himself and improve his self-image to the extent he would consider worthy of Rui's love. Compared to him meandering in the beginning, coasting off of the fact that Rui didn't mind to have him around and found him convenient for the purpose of marriage.
But Rui had the most growth. Her agreeing to divorce him is an acknowledgement that marriage is not a formality to get her parents off her case, but a lifelong proclamation of love that needs to be treated with utmost importance. But more than that, this divorce is the ultimate sign of trust, she trusts that Kyousuke will achieve whatever it is that he wants to achieve with his own strength, and that he will come back and claim her love and marry her properly - as opposed to Rui not trusting him to make something out of himself and keeping him around and placated under the pretext of fake marriage.

As can be seen in this very chapter, none of this was enough. He still is a huge mess who's unhappy with himself, while he's gained courage, his growth arc is far from over.

-so, you said i'm the love of your life right?
-yeah
-and you know i also love you right?
-of course
-our friends and my parents already know we are married, and we spent all this time and energy to convince them (for some reason their opinion matter) that we are a loving couple
-yeah that was kinda hard
-so, instead of going through the divorce, plus living alone in a literal haunted house, why dont we keep things like this and just be happy?
-hmmm... nah i need to suffer a little more for some reason

The "divorce" kinda understandable. Well, honestly I hate this "need to be a better guy so I can't be with you now" trope. But Kyosuke is almost a lost cause if we looking back for what happen to him before living together with Rui. He has a big trauma from his parents (showed at some previous ch) that made his self esteem really low. Glad Rui's parents is cool with him. Now the only thing he should do now is start over again for his life to gain more cofidence and higher self esteem.

The Japanese and their timeline of romance is funny.
You have to confess then be girlfriend and boyfriend then you have to get married in that order because it's proper lol

It will never cease to amaze me how efficiently the Japanese can ruin a good story with a dogwater ending.

I get that they need a divorce to start fresh, BUT all I can think about is how it takes forever and costs a ton (at least in my country) just to finalize one. Even a consensual divorce here takes months to years, with mandatory mediation, endless court hearings, lawyers, paperwork, and updating all your official documents.

All that energy, time, and money, just so they can get back together later? Bruh. I get what the author’s going for, but I hate how the manga makes divorce look as easy as checking in and out of a hotel. Or maybe it really is that easy to get a divorce in Japan, idk.

I don't get it, why not just stay married and grow as people together though mutual support and drive? :question:


Thanks for the chapter!
the guy is a Romanticist, he generally wants to take the steps properly. which means a proper wedding, proposal and all that as well.

He's the type to be open to trying stuff with his girl because he's a pushover and end up getting pegged
