I hope MC actually gets better

 

[Tamerlane]

Don't let her go, my dude. Make yourself better and get yourself stability is essentially what she told you.

 

[pipiru]

Okay it's going to be funniest

 

[Radicool21]

Even though the MC himself is kinda pathetic rn, the story overall is compelling. Interested to see where this will go.

 

[bejad007]

meh, used good

 

[Grimaldi]

@Yourself she is not.

 

[lorkhan]

@bejad007 You are goddamn right

 

[Kanami-chan]

I thought only americans want to marry single moms since the country has extremely high divorce rate.

 

[Rin2k]

[Uglybastard]

@lorkhan @bejad007 a used good is better than the goods noone want to use, like you two

 

[colxeric]

[Eliminateur]

[Kronous]

[Benjababe]

Thanks abe

 

[UnieCetterie]

Go to some engineering school dude.

 

[Ingway]

Wait he has a car? Or is that the company's car? Cause if he got that just from being a freeter that's kinda impressive in a way.

 

[zephyrusthecuck]

Only a true cuck would want to raise someone else's child and marry a sullied woman... Used goods are the best!

 

[xXPenisXx]

Get a real fucking job and give that kid some siblings you spineless bitch.

I can see a lot of people don't really understand this manga. There is a reason why the coworkers keep trying to dissuade Ishizuka from confessing to Tachibana and it might not be apparent to people who are non-Japanese, but it's very clear to everyone around them that things such as age and status do not match. Ishizuka is very romantic for a Japanese man, he even bemoans something to the effect of "is love not enough?" and while that may resonate with western audiences, it's intended to come off as immature in this context.

The turning point in Ryo's confession seems to be the thing that most people are not understanding or did not catch. Please go re-read it again. He is doing, relatively well, or at least not facing a huge wall of resistance until after he mentions Yuzuki-sans child. The way he brings it up is pretty much the most horrible way to do so. He literally says in Japanese "子供も関係ない" which translates to "Kids don't matter".

Uh... not the smartest thing to say to a single mom. Just look at that panel and the look on her face when he says it. It's like he threw a gallon of cold water over her. Basically, the dude was doing alright until he unintentionally tipped his hand and showed Yuzuki how non-seriously he was taking this proposal of his to "date with the intention of getting married".

Also, before anyone tries to defend this guy by saying it was a slip of the tongue or that he didn't mean it that way - it's literally written in kanji that he totally did mean that kids don't matter. There's very little ambiguity in that sentence.

Anyway, point being, he set his hopes on fire with that one statement. Pretty much anything lame like "I love kids!" or something would have worked better for him.

Honestly, the entire setup is just very, very Japanese. It reminds me a lot of a very 80's coming of age type mens romance, like Maison Ikkoku. Hell, except for the addition of the child to the plot, the set up is almost exactly the same. I think it's pretty good. I hope it lives up to the epicness of some of those 80's/90's mature romance manga. There is a lot of potential here. Hell, I can pretty much predict how this manga is going to go and I'm looking forward to seeing it because it's been damn near 20 years since the last time I saw a good one pulled off.

Hats off to the mangaka and I'm going to go look for more raws now...

@jjm152

I thank you for your wisdom

Although the initial reading made me feel depressed, and I came to terms with thinking it was supposed to be that way, I feel enlightened with that interpretation
