I'm glad.
He refused to behave like an adult. It doesn't matter how depressed he was, it doesn't matter how his daughter was behaving.
What matters is he had ample chances to shut this thing down and he refused.
Now, prison awaits him. It will be a fitting end to a man who could not control his impulses.

Can't really blame her for freezing up. They got caught kissing in a public park by her control freak mother, there isn't much if anything she can do to deescalate the situation. Doesn't help that the mother is the right this time. He had chances to break it off but didn't.

The comments are so typical for this story. If it was an adult woman with the teenage boy y'all would be loving that shit. The mom has mental issues and Fmc is so scared of her she can't process what is happening. Mc is a dumbass for not speaking up tho.

Honestly I just feel sympathy for him. His actions were clearly wrong but his backstory and what he's going through serves as an explanation to him acting irrational. All the people shitting on him for being too weak to temptation but I bet those same people would crack and fall for similar things themselves. Only cause they've either never dealt with similar stress as he has and are only a 3rd party watching this from the outside. Welp time for him to suffer the consequences for his actions.

Got fudgin dammit. Do something you stupid FMC. You were pushing him around and taking control of his stress and situation to get him to love you, but when it comes time you through him under the bus. Have some back bone.

Honestly, I just realized that this entire thing is a lesson in Kantian Ethics.
I mean think about it: one of the biggest points of Kant was that people should not be treated as a means to an end but as an end as to themselves, and that using people is morally reprehensible.
But when you think about it, Kousuke is being used by everyone in his life as a means to an end.
To Koto, he's the person she can project her issues with a lack of a male role model after her dad went away, to Maya and her new male acquaintance, he's the person she can blame for everything seeming to go wrong in her life, for his company, he's a tool that is used to endlessly pump out their drivel, and to Koto's mother, she can use him as a scapegoat to blame her child's rebellious behavior by seeing him as a negative influence rather than taking responsibilities for her controlling and obsessive behavior over her daughter breeding resentment.
Honestly, probably the most effective ending would be for Kousuke to commit suicide, at least from a narrative standpoint, because it would give a moment of epiphany for the rest of the characters in that they would realize how poorly he was treated. Maya would probably realize that her father was not a bad person, and come to finally realize how much he sacrificed for her, Koto would realize that she probably was using him too much as a means for her own therapy and finally she would be able to stand up to her mother, his company would face the realization of how much stress they put him under, etc.
It's not an ending I would want, but I feel that it would be one of the more effective endings for the narrative and its themes as a whole, even if it is depressing.

Expect, unlike Domestic Kanojo, this is actually well written and the conflicts are mostly naturally arising from the circumstances the characters are in.

I have yet to read a convincing post that explains why Koto has a father issue when it's been shown she gets along better with him than her mother whom she lives with be it because it's out of pity or emotional blackmailed.
Either ways suicide would be way too cruel because the message of the story would be the equivalent of Man loses last bit of hope he didn't know he had.
I know there would be drama but misery porn is going too far and a sign of poor/bad writing, something that DomeKano had.
