if this was in california chances are he still wouldn't win even with all this. she'd prob take the 'no fault' divorce option to sweep all her cheating under the rug and still get custody.

2 chapters to go, thanks for the timely work @UbelBlatt, much appreciated.

Oh boy, you aren't off the mark, you will see in the next chapter how Masato is actually needed to win Kokone's custody, the court bias will still think Ayaka has to take her daughter by the mere fact she is the mother, regardless of everything Oakatani did to change his life around.

It's not reasonable, that's the thing. Resentment and hatred just boil over, Masato targeted Okatani by mere association with their father, he took everything that Okatani had as a twisted insult to his existence as a bastard child, it doesn't make sense to anyone but him, hatred is often not rational.

No but why did you fuck your half brothers wife though... It was your father who you had an issue with?
Especially when your half brother was always your best friend and biggest champion.

Agree with all the above, although in his defense, he does prove his point AND getting revenge on his dad, now MC family is broken beyond repair just like his.
MC wife and kid are ripple effect, and MC too is aware of that. If not with cuck bro, one day his wife will cheat on him with someone else, someone that she sees as BETTER than MC. Now he knows and aware that his wife neither love nor cherish him as much as he does to her.

This chapter felt kinda lackluster, but I guess this series has been pretty realistic so far. Now the final arc

Probably, she definitely has her flaws and is a spectacular piece of shit.

With the backstory it's gotten a bit too melodramatic between this chapter and the last, honestly I don't think you'd need the backstory. Pure spite or envy being reason enough to homewreck, or hell even carelessness would've worked. I think most people that cheat it'll be opportunity as the highest priority in why, boredom probably second after that. The family aspect is just undercooked since it's basically just introduced and then revealed. I think we've seen MC's parents once before.

I knew what's going to happen already since I saw the raws ages ago, but I will finally say that I'm really disappointed with this manga.
Ayaka is barely a character, only a plot point, when the story is about her cheating on the MC, she doesn't have any character and instead the guy she's cheating on with is far more important.

The author also couldn't make the MC anything but a saint, so he just let the girl and her mentor who tried to frame him with child rape go, as if being a retarded pushover is being kind. Why would you do that? Ruin them! What if they do the same thing to someone else? This is common in a lot of manga bu lt it's egregious here. This isn't being a good person! And the mangaka should really have given the antagonist better reason to want to destroy MC, people will give whatever reason as to how him wanting to destroy his life is fine but he was literally so, sooo good to him, maybe he could've stolen his GF in HS, something that could've been his fault but NOOOO, he can never do anything wrong.

He even forgive the antagonist and wife at the end! FUCK YOU, Take him to court and destroy him! Take every bit of money from him you can! Again, you have all the proof and the fact that he tried to get you falsely arrested for beating and raping a minor girl is beyond unforgivable. Not something anyone should move on from! His wife couldn't even give a shit about him getting hit by a car! That would have been a great opportunity to show her thoughts, but nope! These aren't characters, they're charicatures!

Worst ending of a manga ever.

Even The Betrayed Husband’s Blues has a better ending

would help him in his court battle if he got a recording from the hospital room. Though who know the court might instead sided with the mom more, just putting all the blame on the homewrecking guy.

In a roundabout painful way bro saved the MC by proving his wife is a thot lol
He causes the problems! He tried to get him arrested for raping a child! What if the girl hadn't saved him from the false accusation? His life would be over!
What if MC didn't save him from the Car? Would he have helped him against the wife? MC literally never did anything wrong to him, so it wasn't even about getting even, go ruin your bastard father of you want, this is retarded.

I dunno how far he cared about his step-bro. I mean, he hated his father, but this is also some kind of revenge plot of "If you wanna hate me, hate your father. Oh sorry, I mean, OUR father,". At least "Let's suffer together no thanks to your DAD!"

The objective is basically trying to guilt-trip the father and making him hate the father too. Basically he is suffer because of his father. To the father, he also wants to say, "I will make your son SUFFER and HATES you for it like you did to ME!". He can't see the father as the ideal father anymore because of it, as same as he can't see her going-to-be-ex-wife the same again after the cheating.

Revenging on the Father is way too easy. While it sounds stupid, but it somehow will make him a martyr and people will still remember him as a "good father". This way, even if the father's alive, the reputation will be damaged in the long term.
"Just because I'm affiliated to you, I'm suffering because of you, I hate you for what you did!". More or less...

Anyhow, it's not like the wife is guilt-free of this. Under no circumstances did she get forced to do the adultery. It is on her own volition, and while it has nothing to do with his father, she has to bear responsibility for cheating on her husband. So the best thing he can do for him, as an old friend, is to keep it secret from his Wife, so possibly he would win the custody. From the beginning, he never cared about his wife. His wife is just a tool to make him suffer.

Aside of that, I dunno if it's axed so the author paced up the momentum or he's planned this way.

As I wrote above, his aim is to destroy his daddy family. If his ONLY SON is ruined, so does the father family will destroyed socially.
I guess he has a change of heart post he owe his life to MC, which he decide to explain everything, from his real motive and how he give impression to not bother MC anymore.
