.... I have a bad feeling about this... I hope I am wrong, please realize she is married!
I don't know what's gonna happen but I am like 99.9% sure this author will not go the fake triangle route. It wouldn't even be a good plot device. For one, our mains have been married for so long and more importantly, this author actually knows how to write mature romance :wooow:

The volume cover cast overview kinda spoils it and says that this new guy is close with Kenta. I'm betting he'll meet Kenta and get along with him a lot and not be interested in Chihiro much.

As the others have mentioned, there is nothing to worry about! There is some issues I have with him and his place in the story but the author is great at staying in their lane and keeping it consistent. Also, a rival this late in without them instantly shutting it down would make no sense with this not being a Shoujo.

Also, if interested and to add onto what theshet typed
They take him under their wings and help him improve his situation. They pretty much (inofficially-)adopt him. He is gonna spend more time with her but Kenta is like a rolemodel to him and everyone's place is made clear quickly.

My issue with how he is integrated into the story: he is a young working adult + pretty much a stranger to everyone.
Her going 1on1 with him and out of her way for him to this extent is a bit uncomfortable to me. Again, adult. Kenta's wife shouldn't have to solo drive to the house of a man she talked to once and feed him and make sure that he lives properly. Irks me.
I like how their relationship ends up but how it happened and the early stages are not organic at all and the whole setting paired with his particular characterization just make it a bit... weird.

I mean, ppl don't always stare at hands but i feel like wearing a wedding ring should be obvious (tho i guess ppl shake hands with the right hand [interesting how she still said 'handsome guy showed up' b/c for the most part ppl don't find eyebags attractive if they're not into the overall emo/run down look])

seems unnecessary to have this type of character in this series but oh well. and reading spoilers and
technically adopting him is weird and her doting on him who barely knows each other gives me the jitters, and how her first impression is he looks good being that worn down .. 🤷‍♀️

I find it hilarious how everyone has PTSD from other romcoms whenever another character gets added to the roster
:dogkek:
if I were a mangaka I would make it a rule to always add a tanned gal-o with bleached hair midway through just so he turns out to be a total bro

i mean other than the guy being burnt out by work/life, i wonder how many ppl would be like, "I'm gay/ace" so ppl aren't insecure tho most ppl don't introduce themselves as such/have like pride bracelets or anything like that openly in asian countries unless they're among ppl they know are 'safe' to admit that to lol

But i feel him attractive when i see him at the front page and more when i see the eyebags.

What a strange chapter or should I say arc in general? I didn't quite get his purpose in the story, and I'm not interested at all. Chihiro being this worried about him is definitely weird. Kenta asking her to visit him was even weirder. Reading the spoilers here doesn't make it any better, though. Please, begone.
