It could bs. Or not. I remember him from the early chapters flirting with Yumezora and then Gomi "saving" her from him. He definitely wants a piece of the cake too. He's not worried about Kuzu - I mean, Gomi.

I think it ends with them living the countryside. For some reason, every person I spoke to there irl always seems to want to go there and escape the city life indefinitely. Gomi's stupid, he thought it himself: he wants to make her his. Yumezora is also stupid, she's at least done this thing this time. Even if she's a serial cheater, they're going to break for the countryside anyway since the husband is going to snap soon and Gomi is basically a saint. The plan would be buy some abandoned property, and stardew valley life.

Also theres no reason to believe the ugly bastard character, him being told off by Gomi was what brought them together in the first place. Ever since then he's been seething with jealousy, so he'd love nothing more than to drag down the whole thing. This story is different from the previous one too, the last story was more like watching someone walk their life off a cliff, with plenty of off ramps they could've simply taken. Contrast to here, where its more akin to a train with several stops along the way.

Anyway the panelling/direction in this chapter is nothing short of delicious. The way Yoshihara looms in the alley like a ghost is intentional, a literal sacrifice made for the behalf of the relationship has come back as a spiteful spirit. Page 13 is particularly interesting, with an incredibly ambiguous but striking shot through an AC unit. Is Yoshihara a sun, beaming forbidden knowledge upon Gomi? Perhaps he was also caught in the spiderweb of Yumezora. Or maybe this is his own spiderweb, having a set a trap to distract Gomi while he's separated completely from Yumezora.

Woah, that first panel on page 13 is really cool. Probably one of the best manga panels I've ever seen, actually.

I think he's lying. He's probably just jealous she rejected him in chapter 2 and wants MC and Yumezora to "break up", or something like that.

Even if what he was saying is true, ugly bastard was 100% going to try and blackmail her into getting some for himself

Thanks for the tl!

The AC panel is so amazing, as someone said before it looks like a sun or a spider web, but what if this is the angle of a camera that's recording their conversation? It would make sense for the theory of ugly brostard either trying to get revenge or trying to blackmail. Depending on the material he'd get he can show it to Yumezora in the near future to kick gomi back... Or I'm just paranoid. This manga can go literally anywhere from here, but it will be a train wreck for sure.

Fat ugly bastard to the rescue.

But I could see it the 2 ways I'm sure we are all thinking.

1. It's true but also trying to score with yumezora.
2. It's true but with no attachments.

Honestly judging by the authors previous work, she definitely does the twists, and she knew we would all think the fat ugly bastard is trying to get into her pants, so wouldn't be surprised if he's actually decent.

But from Gomis perspective I'm not sure why I would care. If I'm going from forever alone,, to smashing yumezora on the regular, I'm already thinking I'm in a dream world that cant last. So even if it turns out I'm getting played by her cuz she secretly loves getting abused by her husband, im still gonna smash.

The only negative i can see is the husband going after me, which I'm still not sure if the husband is actually in on this.

Actually, the fat ugly bastard didn't say anything about the husband beating him up, so maybe Gomibis in the clear from his wrath

i mean emotional health aside i'd assume he'd still be horny so other than some farm girl and 'true love' it'd be hard for him to find a brothel lol (imagine if there was some manga series of callgirls/delivery health workers making housecalls to like countryside/places in the middle of nowhere like that)

(could he even afford that unless he got some inheritance from parents or so unless land in JP is dirt cheap)
