See, the thing about the premise of this story is that, since I know the MC has 10 more deaths after this one (and given the fact that Death - the character - is a bitch who sets him up to fail), it's pretty much a given that this kid is going to die somehow. Kind of ruins the suspense a bit...
The more I skim through this manga (I've stopped reading it, I only skim now), the more I get the feeling that it's going to have one of those really shitty, "Muh Ree-uh-lizum", bittersweet endings.
It had nice start, though. I'll give it that much.
I'm starting to feel bad for the MC. I thought this girl was going to help him sort his shit out when I first started reading, but now it just looks like she's going to add to his problems. I'm seriously tempted to go read the raws.
*Sigh*
See you next chapter.
I kinda hope this doesn't become too dark. I mean, I do want it to be a little dark, but maybe with a little light at the end of the tunnel.
Unfortunately, aspie girl's comment about happy endings making her sick is kind of worrying. Foreshadowing, maybe?
Was that a time skip after he raped her or something.
Otherwise, that wife just accepted her new situation way too fast.
She went from loving wife to Stockholm Syndrome rape victim overnight.
And dear god, she just treats her husband like a pet.

Yes, she has been getting more aggressive, but she has not been abandoning the teasing at all. Are we reading the same manga?
This is the first chapter in the entire series where she just flat out tells him that she likes him without pulling a fake out and teasing him immediately...
Is it just me, or did Takagi seem really out of character this chapter?
Assuming she actually wrote 'suki dayo' in the sand, this is a far cry from her previous behavior. Before she would just bait and switch Nishikata, letting him think that she liked him but never outright confirming it...
I just skimmed through this chapter out of curiosity and now I am really glad that I didn't read any of the chapters before it.
This is one garbage ass plot. I guess it's great if you want to watch MC cuck himself (semi-literally).
Edit: Though I might check in from time to time just to see...
