There is something off/odd about her reactions/behavior, it may be the mangaka trying to convey something from behind her facade.
Yup, she's very blushy/coming across kinda nervous (in a non act way) if this is supposed to be something she regularly does.

yeah man i can't think of a single reason getting blackmailed by a crazy chick might not make you excited

Glad we agree.

EDIT: But to be serious, the blackmail material is way back in Gomi's mind right now. Right now, the priority is to sleep with her and steal her away from her allegedly shitty husband.

Here's the thing: cheating on people isn't a "special circumstance just this one time." If she cheats on her husband with him, she's going to cheat on him with someone else and come up with convincing-to-her special circumstance just this one time reasons why it's ok.

Past behavior is the strongest indicator of future behavior. Trying to "steal her away" is just going to leave him with the sort of woman who cheats and then he'll be surprised when he's the next person she cheats on. Getting excited about that is really dumb.

This is, of course, assuming the husband even exists and isn't a lie she's telling, which I'm still not sold on.

I don't disagree but at this moment, Gomi isn't thinking about that.

It's unimaginable in Gomi's eyes for a person who supposedly searched for him after a chance encounter would cheat on him once they become exclusive.

While I generally agree with what you say, it's not some special circumstance as far as we know. She's literally in an abusive relationship physically, mentally, and maybe even sexually. Comparing that to just wanting to cheat isn't really fair, but he is being a bit naive in thinking he can "fix her" when she also has a fucked up personality, instead of just wanting to treat her better than man who literally assaults her.

Of course if she's lying and her husband is completely chill and cool then that's a whole different story.

Well to be fair she never blackmailed him.
She relied on an implied non-specific threat. She never directly said "I will show this to people if you don't do what I want," you can see on page 11 of chapter 13 that he interpreted the implied threat that way. This is a very common technique for abusers: create an implied non-specific threat and let their imagination take over for great psychological leverage.

Whether you think her behavior is fair is irrelevant: you can invent justifications for a behavior pattern, it doesn't suddenly stop the behavior pattern from existing.

I'm not convinced her husband even exists. Women inventing fictional SOs as a way to confirm a man wants her bad enough to break cultural taboos and risk violence is well-documented. Whether she is cheating or whether she is lying is still up in the air to me. Either way it reflects poorly on her.

Well, we just caught up to the raws (chapter 15 just came out on June 23rd in Japan), so it’ll be at least next week earliest for the next chapter.

Well, let’s see how our boy handles this one. I would say that he grows a pair and graduates successfully but the post-nut-clarity will reveal a universal truth…

“My guy, you probably just stuck dick in crazy. You better have a strategy for this one…”
