So, we were right - Risako have feelings for Kaoru, and Reichi married Kaoru out of guilt.
I'm not surprised, but - this is good (story, I mean) too.
Man, I love this manga with its choking atmosphere. This is refreshing to read.
@Thejobbernowl she didn't, Risako dated Reichi only for the purpose driving him away from Kaoru and probably trying to hide her lesbian nature from herself, like "I'm not gay, see, I'm dating a guy" - bcs she knew Kaoru feelings to Reichi,she didnt have one, but - the second he confessed she thought "it's great chance that Kaoru will be dissapointed in him, if we'll be dating, lost her interest and then I will have a chance with her myself".
We discussed this in previous chapters, trying to figure out Risako's motives and now she confessed herself - all of that was bcs she interested in Kaoru, not Reichi, and always was.
