That's all she wrote, folks!
Tomorrow I will start posting the 4 extra chapters for the main story but, other than that, the main story and spin-off are over.
That last panel really captures the essence of this whole arc, doesn't it?
Rio desperately wanted somebody who would put her at the center of the world and validate anything she felt, and in the end she got that. A man who will look at her 24/7 and always tell her what she wants to hear, even if the world around her is burning.
These two were truly made for each other.
As an aside, literally yesterday, I received a notification informing me about a new josei manga serialization centered around cheating (clearly this app has pegged me as the "avid cheating manga fan"). I checked out chapter 1 and it's essentially this series' basic premise but dialed up to 11 (Chapter 1 overview: Innocent wife with rose tinted glasses and PoS husband. Husband steals money from wife to shower side chick with lavish gifts while full time housewife lives day to day counting pennies). Might be a revenge story judging from the title and cover. I probably won't work on it because I doubt it'll be as grounded and engaging as this (granted only 1 chapter is out so that might change), but I did laugh at the universe shoving a new similar manga in my face right after completing this, as if telling me what my next step must be. Idk, if you're interesting in more josei manga about cheating let me know.
