I mean, he was already single since long ago, but now it's in paper.

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Forenza_Pari]

Thanks for the chapter!

Hopefully Nina won't get back together with Michi and they both move on

 

[Jakeh24]

A big part of me want them to reconnect down the line

 

[AkodoRyu]

I think all of his dialogue feels a bit disingenuous, like a person trying to convince themselves that it was a good thing, so they have no reason to feel sad, while at the same time looking and sounding sad as fuck. I'm not sure if that was the author's intention, but I think it would be fine to show more grieving - even if the decision was correct, it doesn't make it painless.

I agree in part. I think for him the relationship ended months ago, when he realized he didn’t love her and told her that. But, and perhaps its the men don’t cry thing, but it would be to see him state he is sad, but ok

I love how he fails to mention why they divorced. Even if they had issues, what he did was what caused it.

I love how he fails to mention why they divorced. Even if they had issues, what he did was what caused it.

That would derail the author's belief and message that cheating is a ok if you're miserable in your marriage.

Why would he tell his coworkers? It's not their business to know and it's common sense to not pry any further, especially if they're not particularly close with him. He also has the right to share only what he's comfortable sharing, even though he was the one that messed up.

I think each person has different way to react with divorce. Being stucked and confused for all these years, he finally managed to end the relationship, even though he still respects Kaede. The initial feeling that I have If i'm in his position will definitely be happy, relief and clear-minded, since this is the new start for both him and Kaede. I really like how he phrased it, not all the divorces should be seen as a bad thing, and in his case, it ended the suffering for both and Kaede.

Furthermore, he didn't said the divorce was a "good thing", but as "not a bad thing", and there is definitely a clear distinction between these two terms. The latter term showed that Makoto has reached certain acceptance, while the former, like you stated, showed that person was still in denial, trying to find a way to make the situation more positive.

I think this just showed that Makoto has accepted his divorce. I was in similar position as him before when dealing with depression. At first I always tried to hide it since I was afraid people might judge me. But I gradually accepted my situation, and became very open about having depression, even though many people might not understand. The way the author showed the dialogues between Makoto and his co-workers, was definitely very genuine to me, showing that Makoto has moved on and prepared to start a new chapter of his life.

 

[Mielly]

For his coworkers they seemed like the perfect power couple, yet they didn't know their circumstances. Niina looks like he's finally enjoying peace.

 

[ShitTaste]

That would derail the author's belief and message that cheating is a ok if you're miserable in your marriage.

Are we reading the same story? Both sides went through an arc about how cheating hurt the partner and how they could've communicated to begin with and things would've been better off.

Yeah, the "we're better off this way" gave me that feeling. I think it's meant to be sincere, but I think what you're describing, that period of mild grief on either end, would have felt authentic.
