Remember when Kumahei went away and said he would call and then like...never did? And then when she finally heard back from him he was with another woman?

Sigh...
But, well, being honest, I was thinking about this story the days and I thought that if it was a real life friend in this situation, I wouldn't reject the idea of breaking up as much as I am right now with the characters. Sure, I'd push at first to go with him, use technology to communicate... But considering her trauma, their careers and how recent is their relationship, I'd still disagree, but less.
In real life I'd think that it was bad timing and maybe it wasn't meant to be, but here since story cliche (and future volume covers) says they are meant to be, it's harder to accept it. But I guess this is what I signed up for when I decided to read a romance with drama tag.
I wonder now if the mangaka is aiming for the opposite situation of Kumahei: he will go with no promises of contact and coming back to her, but he'll do it anyway.
Thanks for the chapter

Bruh, I registered to leave comments just so I can express my frustration, why is she do dumb? She's in her mid 30s she should not be this childish and senseless, you don't want him to go because you'll miss him but you don't want to go with him for some reason so you decide to break up?? Then you get upset when he agrees to break up like you asked?? Girl, are you thick in the head? All these problems are because of you, all these issues because you're stupid and childish, for heavens sake, GET A GRIP!

I am not a huge fan of her personality type (or why her character design defaults so often to hiding her eyes behind the glare of her glasses) so I was already sort of just tolerating her up until now since the pottery was interesting but... woof...
Beyond her passion for the artform, I'm actually not sure why ML is so drawn to her. I know she has trauma. At this stage who doesn't? Didnt MLs friend burn to death? He exhibited effects of his trauma with some negative behavior but seemed to be actively working on himself after joining the group and meeting her.
At this point though, I actually agree with her choice. She clearly is not ready for the responsibilities of a relationship where trust, vulnerability, and most importantly communication is key to a good solid foundation. Especially one that will go through periods of long distance. Him coddling her by canceling the trip would have been a mistake. What, is he going to do that for the rest of his entire life and career if she cant bring herself to ever have faith in his coming back again?
If it was forward growth and healthy she would pushed to have taken the leap once more and waited. We would have seen her highs and lows in the struggle of that process vs this immediate giving up, naively pretending like they can taksies backsies having been in a whole ass relationship and revert like it never happened. Like... irl most people would take that as a cue to finish out their experience and move to another place to further grow their career. Because that sounds awkward af, trying to return to normalcy and killing previously intimate feeling but still being in close contact daily. This is exactly why people don't recommend getting into relationships with coworkers because it is a shitshow if it turns sour.
On that, what is she thinking that going back could happen by default once they aren't together? 🙄 Like she isn't notoriously awful at realizing her own emotions and constantly failing to hide them from others by trying to be overly positive. It would bleed into all their interactions. Instead everyone would pretend like the awkward elephant isnt in the room until she finally cracks and is honest about being upset like has happened before prior to this breakup. She is often slow to be self aware and then collapses in on herself like a dying star in her own angst.
Obviously she isn't willing to do any of the available options because she is so traumatized by her one ex, so I guess this is the natural conclusion. But I'm sure the plot will put them back together or leave it open to picking back up in the end. Hopefully while he is gone she works on herself and being more honest without having to pull teeth to do so. Maybe her growing will earn the relationship working out actually making sense in the story's progression (since ML while younger has shown more growth and maturity in this relationship at this point in the story).
Just praying we don't go through an arc where we drag some poor person in to be a rebound who only gets discarded in the end so that someone can get jealous and propel the plot forward.

Graaaaah! This kinda thing makes me want to read the next chapter immediately.
Anyways, earlbay, if you're seeing this, I'd really like to know your font choices... They look really nice and the typesetting guides just don't do it for me. Some of them don't really have the vibe / thing I want

i mean, communication goes both ways and since both of them were aware of what happened with kumahei, i think they can think up ways to prevent that from happening again, no?Remember when Kumahei went away and said he would call and then like...never did? And then when she finally heard back from him he was with another woman?
