Kekkon shiyou. Rikon zentei de. - Vol. 4 Ch. 13

[LeoTomson]

I get that they need a divorce to start fresh, BUT all I can think about is how it takes forever and costs a ton (at least in my country) just to finalize one. Even a consensual divorce here takes months to years, with mandatory mediation, endless court hearings, lawyers, paperwork, and updating all your official documents.

All that energy, time, and money, just so they can get back together later? Bruh. I get what the author’s going for, but I hate how the manga makes divorce look as easy as checking in and out of a hotel. Or maybe it really is that easy to get a divorce in Japan, idk.

This is the real turn off. "Divorce" carries so much real world legal baggage and paperwork.

(Other readers) Expecting everyone to casually act like the realities of going through a divorce suddenly doesn't matter in a setting closely mirroring modern life is absurd. Even more so when it's done before remarrying.

The kick is that in Japan, as long as both parties have agreed beforehand, divorce is just one application paper away. Even details on property division and child support is completely optional. So for Kyousuke, the symbolism probably far outweighs the paperwork.

Probably the most romantic divorce you'll ever see

I don't get it, why not just stay married and grow as people together though mutual support and drive?


Thanks for the chapter!

I mean that’s what I’m thinking too, like you’re already married why get a divorce and remarry?? Isn’t that kind of stupid. I mean I understand that he kind of needs time to make himself better but you can still just stay married and you can just do marriage stuff when you want to?

Thanks for the chapter!

cus that would be the healthy and logical step and not the irrational, no brain move.

I think the reason why they divorce is to marry her properly next time

Apparently divorce in Japan can be as simple as marriage is: both of you sign and file a form.

Wikepedia says:

There are several types of divorces in Japan; Divorce by Agreement, Divorce by Conciliation, and Divorce by Judgement. Divorce by Agreement (rikon), occurs when both parties mutually agree to separate and do not need to go to court. This is the most common type of divorce in Japan. Divorce by Conciliation (chotei rikon) is sought out when individuals are unable to agree on terms or separate. Thus, these cases go to court in hope to come to a mutual agreement for both parties. Lastly, Divorce by Judgement (saiban rikon) occurs when individuals are unable to reach an agreement in court during conciliation. Divorce by judgement is uncommon in Japan.

Forgot what I say before, I hope not all the girls out there are like Rui......

The parents bit went well, surprisingly.
Was expecting it to go much worse than that, had a rocky start but ended well.

WHERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER AAAAA

 

[MaCl0wSt]

Jeez he really needs to grow some balls

 

[_S_]

I don like how the mom acts and don understand her complaints. in an earlier chapter she canceled her visit the day before.

 

[Wholesome_Seeker]

I get it, I get it.. the self-esteem issues n stuffs.

But like everyone else already mentioned. Why don't just stay together from here on out, mutually support each other, grow, learn n love? This fcking cliche regression, i swear.

Good Premise, Good Starting Progress, yet got saturated by trashy tropes.

 

[Omergosh]

I was actually on board Kyosuke striking it out on his own for a bit then coming back to give the relationship a proper start, since it's clearly a great mental hurdle he's trying to properly overcome instead of half-assing it in his comfort zone. Not 100% necessary (as many many people have pointed out), but understandable and not the worst decision.

Then I read the last page with divorce brought up AGAIN and ????

 

[LordofAlI]

I mean getting divorced was part of the title and premise but I really see no reason to divorce? They basically were dating in the pretend marriage they both admited love for each other and they can just stay married then decide for themselves to be offically married once he has more confidence? They can grow togther this really makes me just feel ???
