I like the artist's stuff but...

Well... At least they aren't in marriage or something... But still...

It's a revenge romcom that seems like a high school version of this.

I was going to say the exact same thing as Coldlight. Basically a blueprint story in high school setting.
I bet it will just be misunderstanding shenanigans like usual.

I skimmed through the free pages of the raws of Ch. 2-5 on cmoa. (Click the button that says 無料立読み)

Spoiler

Well, it's not a misunderstanding. Just like in that manga I linked previously, there's real cheating going on. At one point Yuusuke and Kotone (the other dude's gf) tail Kayo (his childhood friend & gf), only to see her meet up and kiss the other dude. Their desire for revenge is justified.

It's not really dark or depressing though, the romcom part still seems accurate even with that kind of start. I guess the expected direction here is for the male lead to get together with the other dude's gf (who I now consider the real female lead), just like the title says. I'd be surprised if it doesn't go that way.

Random stuff: apparently his aunt looks like a loli and this is actually a tag (叔母ロリ) on the source WN lol

I mean...

Sure, but that's the WN. I was commenting on what little I've seen from this manga adaptation so far. WN sources usually are edgier than manga adaptations which very often get toned down. Personally, I'm not expecting this to be a 1:1 adaptation; some changes are inevitable, since publisher editors are now involved and they're often behind changes to the story in adaptations.

Oh, gotcha, I misunderstood you because I thought you were talking about the raw of the novels, as I only saw the link at the end.

Still, I'm with you on that, especially because It's not like the WN has some peak writing kek, even if it does enjoy good reviews, as it has decent portrayed grief at times, and it's like you said, a light read in general (Outside the cheating GF's payback) so I'm sure stuff will be moved around, as adapting from a WN directly especially (as it hasn't gone through the WN>LN filter neither) will always entail changes, so we will have to see how they handle this manga.

It most likely is...and at the same time...another manga about cheating. Nothing revenge Rom com about it. Just cheaters cheating cause they want to instead of breaking up
