well that was sorta a happy ending I guess? Rin was able to take the first step in moving on at least and it seems like the kid is also taking the first step in bonding closer with his mother.


overall this wasn't too bad tbh. It's not every day you see the perspective of the one being involved in the cheating (as in, the partner of the married person). I mean you do have some like DomeKano which just plays it off like it's no deal, but it was nice to see this one explore the more mental side of things

To tell the true the ending wasnt as reassuring as i hoped for. I mean, few frames back she was again lost in thoughts of how Shinji was great. It ended as she barely started moving forward after making a decision. I wish it would at least peek in the future to confirm she stood strong afterwards. Or rather, wish she would have reach this conclusion herself before the end of the 5 days instead of a last minute rant from Tomo.
I get he change her world... but just from her perspective of being useless. If she had more confidence she wouldnt ever need him anyway. The guy is married with a family ffsk.
An interesting story but still not as fulfilling as i thought it would be at the end.

There are some points that may change your opinion:
1. Page 61: She threw away her red wristwatch, a present from Shinji (Chapter 3). She really cared for it (from Chapter 1 forward) and treat it as if it was a wedding/engagement ring.
2. Page 43: A assignment report/homework. She thought that it was Tomo's, but actually it was her, when she was a kid. The descriptions should be about flowers/plantation, but it described her personality perfectly. And at the left most column: 'It's red color does not suit it." struck her into decision to throw away the 'red' wristwatch. In the other word, she moved on from Shinji.

Great bittersweet story, despite not having the supernatural tag, the trip between other worlds took me by surprise.

Although at first I got a little angry with the FL for being a home breaker, I enjoyed seeing her evolution, my anger went to Shinji, since he is responsible for saying STOP !, which he did not do, and despite That she concealed the pregnancy, she never made sure to see if it's okay ... if it's a character shit, I hope Tomo gives her his well deserved punch.

At the end you could see the symbols with the rain (tears), the watch (she compared it to an engagement ring) and red (the color of the watch), which at the end in the small vignettes we see that her taste changed to him. Blue color, like the band that his dear son gave him, a story of self-improvement, self-understanding and making you react that what is bad is bad and not only hurts you, but also the people who love you too, me I'm glad that in both worlds, each one can keep moving forward, and although Tomo never exists in the world, maybe when she gets to know the right person for her, her son may be the incarnation of Tomo ... that's my end happy in the distant future, and also that she reconciles with her best friend Shino.
