Author really tried to "justify" the cheating, "it was only one time", "she was having troubles in the marriage", "they punished themselves after", etc... pure BS!

Best would be MC telling the b*tch of a mother to go f*ck herself, tell the guy she probably cheated or will cheat on him, or at least he deserves it, tell them how much piece of sh*t they both are, donate to Suzuka, then tell them that every time they look a her, is best to value her, because deep down, they both don't deserve any happiness...

Man
I simply would chose to not donate and make them atone their sin for their life, because Ryouta pain would last for life too

This one is too close and raw to personal experiences to really make a coherent comment on, other than I am glad he is giving Suzuka a chance to live. I hope this author follows through and cuts these 2 self centered, egotistical hypocrites from his life. Sometimes, there is no redemption, and no forgiveness to give. Thoughts like that are just fairytales, and I personally don't feel that it adds anything to the story being told.

His feelings hit home, sometimes even if your parents are a bunch of shit who made mistakes that hurted you on the worst way u can still not help but want to be loved by them. Still that does not mean you need to let them in your life again. I like the mc, wish he had been more harsh with them i guess there is not enough pages but i respect him for saving the life or his sister. For me thats the test if he had let her die then he would not be any better than his "parents"

Ryota was really mature about all this, I can't say I'd be that kind if I were in his shoes but his younger sister is innocent in all of this.

At least doing the donation and then cutting his parents out of his life forces them to explain to Suzuka why he's not around.

I still wish they got punished somehow

After some time sitting with this chapter, I'd actually argue they were.
Ryouta told his mom to her face that he at one point resented her, but also that her actions lead to him discovering a family and friendships that are super important to him now. He didn't forgive her, merely acknowledged that he also couldn't let his resentment get in the way of what he had now, which is why he sought closure in this moment.

And, him being this kind in his delivery of his farewell is an actually-effective example of 'taking the high road'. He demonstrated that his dad still managed to raise him into a respectable and honorable person without her help; to the extent he could set aside his grudges and trauma to save the life of a person he'd only recently met.

And he still walked away, choosing his Found Family over her. And every time they look at Suzuka, they'll be reminded of the son whom they let get away. Ryouta, for his part, didn't have to resort to pettiness or ugliness or vindictiveness or ill-will, and that means they can't even smear his character or malign his treatment of them. He's literally better than them, and proved it, and then moved forward in his life with people who actually cherished him, and he let them both know that.

It's not vengeance, but it is a statement of finality delivered without malice or ill-will that they will have to carry in themselves for the rest of their lives. He didn't have to condemn or punish them; they'll do it to themselves.

Brushing off cheating and having your now ex-husband raise the affair kid, to then say "it was a lie" for saying something so horrible about your own child. Getting engaged to the lover after a divorce... she does not regret it. Shame.

Props for the author to understand how kindness over pride can be done, that's basically forgiveness, show kindness but not forget.

This arc is flawed especially with how hard it tries to justify the horrible mother. The affair partner too I really don't like how he was written, I feel like I would have actually respected him more if he was just honest that he only cared about his daughter being saved, trying to make him seem like a good person was dumb.

Overall I did like the that it didn't hide the fact blood ties mean a lot to younger people and that he was genuinely bothered by being completely unrelated to his father but allowing the support system around him to show him that in the end they don't matter. It's a far more realistic depiction then having him from the start not caring about it.

I feel like this arc would have worked well if instead of trying making his mother a sympathetic character the author instead made her someone whose motivations we understood even if we didn't agree with it only.
