This is another one of those quick manga that you can read in a few hours that I do think is worth josei/romance fans time. The characters are a bit frustrating, but not in any way that I haven't seen or behaved like myself in real life. It deals with jealousy, the cycle of abuse, and toxic relationships (both the high highs and the low lows) in a straightforward way just through character behaviour and their inner thoughts, which I definitely identified with. There are some really nice moments of good communication between couples, but also a lot of instances where those communication skills goright over the MCs head which I think is very realistic. She isn't an amazing person, she has her problems, and life isn't going to be perfect all the time.

The art at first is a little bit shoddy but improves significantly very quickly as the manga goes on, the girls are absolutely gorgeous with their big eyes and long eyelashes. So it is worth reading past the 3rd chapter if the art is what turns you off—it gets MUCH better.

The ending felt rushed and confused me. I don't like endings like this one, that just seem open-ended and make very little sense. It ended abruptly and I remember reading the last page, realising that was the last page, and being incredibly confused like "no way it just ended like that..." but alas, a lot of these short josei romance's seem to end like this so nothing that hasn't been done before.

I think this manga is just fine. It's not long and it tells an interesting story and has important themes. Definitely try to find a good translation if you're reading in English, the one I read for the first few chapters was dubious and it was really hard to tell what was going on but that only lasted for a short while and then it all made sense. It's short enough to just get through it and see how you feel for yourself.
