I wonder when You will get a proper pov about the current situation.

but it's still nice to see michi taking a stand for herself now

I don't know about Japanese laws but does divorce need to be concented by both partners if family hasn't children?

I think we've seen his point of view. He raised his objections to Michi about not wanting to be intimate, feeling pressured, and shame because he wasn't interested in her sexually. We saw how he dealt with it by avoiding her and playing video games instead of communicating. And we saw him cheat sexually when Michi cheated emotionally+kissing. I suspect You has psychological reasons for why he is the way he is and I give him understanding for that. But he also deserves to feel shame for what he did.
It would be nice to see You get therapy and grow up after this. I'm glad too that Michi is learning to assert herself.

Weirdly kids don't matter that much on divorce in japan, you agree on who keeps the kids like you agree on who keeps the house, there is pretty much no shared parenting and usually, the kids goes with mom, and dad is out of the picture unless they have good relationship with his ex wife( japan is not progressive about this)
well, there are different stages or type of divorce in japan
if both parters agree on the terms, you don't even need a lawyer , that's the method Michi wants to use here, that's why she needs You to sign the papers and use his stamp on the documents, once it's done she will submit the papers to the local city hall, and it's done.

if unable to reach an agreement they can try a mediation, here, you'll need lawyer, and a judge or a mediator will assist parties until they reach an agreeement
you can also use the family court if both partner agree on the divorce but and not okay with the terms

but unfortunalty for Michi, You seems to have no intention at all to sign the papers and is not okay with the divorce in the first place, and unless they find a ''legal reason to divorce' ( could be infidelity, abandonnement by one spouse, domestic violence, but also pretty weird shit like the dissaperance of one spouse for more than 3 years or Serious mental illness of a spouse with no possibility of recovery) well, they stay legaly married ( but after like 10 years, they might agree that '' well, you aren't spouse anymore, so long and thanks for the fish'')

anyway, unless they proved that You cheated ( and that's funny how we get to see the girl You cheated with on this chapter) Michi is pretty much trapped until You make up his mind, and we aaaaaall know how reliable and adult You is, right ?

I see what you mean. That would be interesting indeed!

I just want to thank @Soseki scans for not having dropped this series after all of the struggles and down time that mangadex has gone through. This is one of the best written manga I've ever read.

Hmmm...nah I'm sorry. I still don't care about You. I wish Michi all the best, but she's in for one hell of an uphill battle with You acting the way he is (reasonable so admittedly, but annoying nonetheless)

Thanks for the translation. And a special shoutout to @malu for his comment on the inner-workings of Japanese divorce procedure. That was interesting and I learned something.
