Well... We knew she was the sort of person who would record her cheating videos for profit, and who would keep used condoms to "gift" them to her friend. I don't expect her to take any decent action. And an AV actress! Yeap. Just enjoy the ride and hope you won't meet anyone like Rio. Or Rei...

On a somewhat random note, this whole discussion around Rio reminded me about this Brazilian Choro from 1976, "The World is a Mill". Cartola, the musician, wrote it for his adoptive daughter about his concerns about her love life. It's a short song, but I think this part summarizes the current...

Well, in a sense, Rio cannot communicate her problems with anyone other than Rei to make the main story work. Communication would have solved everyone's problems and likely fast-forwarded the divorce processes for both Rio and Mahoro. Or a miraculous couple therapy. and and In the heat of...

Even that brings no guarantee. Marriage is a legal agreement and brings more weight to the relationship, thus changing things... But, it's better than blindly jumping into a marriage without any sort of trial period.

I am entertaining this idea... Let's say the main series and this spinoff were combined, and now we see it develop through Rio's PoV. I think you are right in the sense that at chapter 2,without any prior knowledge, we would be rooting for her, alright. I wonder how much support she would get...

I think your way of engaging with this story is perfectly fine. Go for it! And be happy!

Let's hope she is okay. Oh yeah, I am always concerned with Nagata Kabi's health. I wonder if her life did get better after the pancreas manga. I don't know the other story, though. You know, this question got me confused because I never thought who the author/narrator was. I assumed it was an...

Although I like whe the author drops a comment like this because they make the story feel more real, damn... Author, are you okay? And And this. Now that you mentioned it, it reminded me of the mangaka character in the main series. It seems she would always stick close to people with "juicy"...

Sorry to hear that... I hope it wasn't as bad as in this manga. On the bright side, now you learned to talk to your friends about abusive partners, and, more importantly, to always carry a fingerprint kit!

I agree. I don't think the author is trying to justify Rio's actions. By giving Rio story some depth, we can see where it went all wrong. I like to believe that at the end of the day, we take something from these stories with us. So we can learn from mistakes we didn't make. For example, in...

I think this story is an amalgamation of a bad real-life events. Maybe it's just my wishful thinking, hoping that a person wouldn't be surrounded by so many bad human beings at the same time. But I guess the really sad part is that Haruto is such a good person that there are no real-life...

I checked the official raw, and it says there are 65 chapters in their app (全65話をアプリで見る) instead of the 50 stated in MangaDex. Are those 15 additional chapters the spinoff?

Now I wonder how the relationship between Rio and Itsuki was. Author-san, there are only four more chapters, please don't end this leaving us with more questions than answers!

I think it's a reference to Dhalsin, from street fighter.

I agree with you. But... Do you have the fortitude to do it? I know I don't. The drama compels me!

I like how the bow and arrow design change to reflect Iruma's state of mind.

Oh, yeah! Who could have thought of that, author-san?!

I agree, I felt that criticism unnecessary... Now that an hour have passed since I read it, that line reminded me of this video about Japan becoming a "low desire society" where "wanting" in general (be it things, relationships, experiences, etc.) is seen as a source of misery. It also reminded...

I think it's because the author did not want to waste another chapter ordering the thing from Amazônia, waiting for the delivery, etc. It's way easier to have a friend who carry a fingerprint kit on their purse, right? Wait, you don't have one with you right now? Shame...

I wonder. The thing with modern legal systems is the need of strong evidence. If they can find Rio's fingerprints on the notes, that would clearly link her to the evidence. Otherwise, they could be dismissed as circumstantial evidence or even forgery, in which it would backfire on Mahoro. But...
