Well, now we're here. If the spoils i saw are right, soon

Spoiler

she will dump her current boyfriend and go to real dates with this one, until the kissing stage at least. Dunno, i might drop this one quite soon, we'll see

Edit: i finally found the raws.

Spoiler: the big lines

So the actor will keep messing with their relationship, he actively try to get her. He befriends he bf and throws hints at her whenever he can. Then they go together to an onsen trip, the bf understands that the actor ha a thing for his gf. Somehow the 3 of them have to sleep in the same room. Fmc holds the hand of her bf, things escalate (the actor is sleeping right next to them). Bf tries to put a finger you know where, she says sorry, things stop there. Next day, bf apologies (we're around chapter 20). From this point the actor doesn't shows up much. The couple has progress, they have proper sex, bf is good at it it seems. Then bf's ex shows up, she is a mannequin, and ofc, still love her ex. Fmc notice at some point, they talk, it's resolved. They start living together, bf's hair is now black. When going back rom a date, they spot fmc's ex-husband rigt in- front of her house. He run away. She tries to call him, he doesn't answer. In fact, the woman he cheated on fmc with dumped him, i think she wasn't really pregnant with his child. Anyway now he is all alone, crying on his past with fmc. On chapter 34, fmc notice her period is late. She gets checked, turns out she can't have children. She talk about it with her bf, he says it's okay and all, but she thinks she can't take it from a young man like him, they argue, he cries, she dumps him, crying too (ch 35). Several weeks pass, they till work together, both putting a front. The actor show up again, fmc cries about her break up in his car. Bf'(now just coworker)s e gf show up too, she is working with fmc. She spots the bf (now coworker) all sad, take him too a walk, he tells her about the break up. The actor asks fmc to go to camping with him, she thinks about it then accepts. They talk about various things, great chemistry and all, similar experiences. He brings her back home, kiss her when she's about to leave (ch 52). Next chapter, a TV director shows up at their work, she starts working with the the ex bf. Fmc notices that he's bright and all, and that he's really good at his work now. The tv director ask the 2 of them too work together with her. Now they're in a taxi together, their hands had contact, fmc unfazed, ex bf sad. That's the last chapter, ch 54. /SPOILER]

NO. Are you telling me this needs a special sauce tag!?
Big if true. I'm definitely dumping if this is the case. It's cute otherwise, but that's a series ender for me.

you get the fuck back you get away you fucking
do not

Can't a 35-year-old woman go FIVE MINUTES without being CONFESSED TO? What's WRONG with this country!?!#%$

I'm not really that upset about it. Dude had big "no means yes" and "sadboi, please date me" energy. His lack of experience, his being her work subordinate, that he started hound-dogging the moment he learned she got divorced... She has good reasons to be wary of him. At any case he's like dating in high school and probably not going to last regardless.

If this is true, I'm dropping this right away. I've got no time for this kinda forced drama.

I was already on the fence because i was not liking the boy and her worrysome attitude (35 is not that old) but if thats true then thats the final nail in the coffin, goodbye everyone!

 

[SophyGalal]

Yep, I just searched for it an confirmed it.
She dumps the dude, then gets into a relationship with this new a-hole.
And they keep doing that stupid "love triangle" bullshit, except she just hurt the dude for no reason.

Instant drop for me.
Quite a bummer, too, since I was looking for something wholesome with the older woman/younger man premise, which is so rare to find anyways.

If any of you have suggestions, I'd love to read them, by the way.

 

[eviljackspicer]

Lady, you are not unattractive because you are 35
You are not attractive because you are retarded

I checked the raws, you can read my edit if ya want

I've read the raws, put some recap on my first message, it's not that bad but i won't keep reading it i think. Might check the raws from time to time tho. Honestly bf's ex seems way better for him than fmc, i don't think fmc is all that bad but her point stands, there is not point trying again

I don't think they're dating yet, he kissed her once, she didn't respond (didn't hate it either tho). If they really start dating i'll drop it too tho. Seeing the last chapter, it's eiter fmc realise she still likes him ad they get back together, or they just regress to coworkers. I hope it won't drag for long
Btw i was also there for te older woman/younger man relationship so i'll take any suggestion too, i need some rn

I get what you mean, but just the fact that she was, ironically enough, less mature than the ML is already a huge turn off for me.

She just played with his feelings, and it doesn't really matter if "they only kissed once", either.

ML shouldn't pine over someone who is so ready to throw him away, for whatever reason she may have. Dude would be better off with someone else.

This is the age old "love triangle" troupe, and it's quite saturated nowadays 😅 Gives me some nasty Twilight flashbacks here.

By the way, do let me know if you got any recommendations, as well! Specially wholesome ones!

 

[Huichelaar]

See when he says "I also want to have a pure love with Ono-san." I don't think there's any subtle messaging or complex symbolism there. I think he's gunning for her. Seems like he's particularly interested in people who are 'taken'. Ono passes it off with "???" because she's the typical indecisive dense romcom protagonist. TN, if you happen to be reading this, that's what I think that exchange was about.

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[t28]

You almost always see some variant of this type of smug/arrogant/asshole male lead in josei & shojo manga. I will never truly* understand what women find so appealing in them... but I have long come to accept that they do.

Sad to see the new guy fall victim to it but it is what it is.

Spoiler

* Well, thats not entirely true. I know Its related to confidence & assertiveness but you can be those things without the asshole-ish side of it (but they still seem to find appeal in that too).

Wtf

I was enjoying this as a new serie (started this morning to read) and I don't know if I want to continue this mess.

Spoiler

The fact that she leaves him like this is so stupid...

Thanks for the recap

Can't a 35-year-old woman go FIVE MINUTES without being CONFESSED TO? What's WRONG with this country!?!#%$

So you are not upset that

Spoiler

He gets the courage to confesses properly
He's serious about it
When she has that diagnoses, he's supportive and still wants to be with her
He gets dumped because she wants to protect herself by gaslighting herself into saying that is for him ("no way he'll still want me and I'm defective -> he's better with another woman" just because in reality she fears to be cheated again or something like that)
She gets something going with his rival who tried to meddle in the meantime

Wtf is wrong with you?

Spoiler

her big problem is her constant lack of confidence, mainly cuz she is 35 and her divorce, even though she is objectively the most beautiful out there, even the ex-gf who is a model loses to her imo. The actor, being around her age, is shown having way more things in common with her than the bf. Every time fmc is doubting about something, he’s there, with his cool Ferrari, ready to listen to her. That happen several times through the story, until they talk everything out and start living together. So he was not involved in the breakup at all. He then magically reappear, with his car, after the breakup. I dunno, I can’t like him at all, the bf is not a bad guy compared to him, not even immature imo. Just younger. But he always wants to learn and listen to his friends advices and fmc. From the breakup, fmc wants to go back to a senior/junior relationship with him, like nothing happened between them. So from that point, maybe she’ll date the actor who is perfect for her, maybe she won’t, but I don’t see a reason for her to go back to her ex bf, it’s not like she’ll become fertile later. The bf’s ex is always around too, after the breakup she apologize to fmc, saying that she’ll stop working with her if that’s what made them breakup. She even tries to get her and the bf back together. Fmc acts all mature while saying no, but imo the ex gf is way more mature than her, not just here but during the whole story, and she never actively tries to get in the bf pants, like the actor does. The bf doesn’t feel anything for her at all. The TV director who appears at chap 52 is imo the most promising for ex bf, she’s in the same league as fmc physically speaking. Honestly I hope her and ex bf will go to the kissing stage to, he deserves some romance too.
Btw if you want to read the raws to see it for yourself go there: https://syosetu.si/. Their first time is around ch 20, bf’s ex appears at ch 22 or 23 I think, wholesome chapters from 25 to 32, pregnancy breakup from 33 to 35, actor is back at ch 39 to confort fmc, she gets her photo with actor in a magazine at ch 41, actor asks her out at chapter 50, 2 chapters of camping talk until he kisses her. 1 month as passed without anything after it btw. Actor is not a bad guy in the end, but I freakin hate him. And fmc got to my nerves too, while I reread the raws. Maybe it’s my standpoint, dunno.

Spoiler

Sorry for the wall again lmao
