Why must you hurt me so, Ootsuka Mahiro sensei?
Here’s one of the most sensible and well-written mangas you’ll find on Hentairules.net, on the topic of adultery.
Not some lame half-assed NTR or cuck fetish. Nope.
And now I feel a wound in my soul, just like when you’re exposed to harrowing and yet beautiful art.
The manga begins as wife and husband end their marriage. The wife explains to him how everything started. Her shock and outrage when she realized that he maintained a frequent habit of masturbating in private all the while rejecting sex with her for 4 years. Four years!
We have a window on her mind, as she has 3 successive lovers, we hear the justifications she finds herself to perform acts frowned upon by society.
We watch, as her emotions swirl so fast it’s all a blurry turmoil. Her joy to be acknowledged as a woman, her growing understanding of her own motives.
The mangaka skilfully depicts how she feels, torn between incompatible and yet simultaneous emotions, such as elation and sadness, relief and misery, immense joy and guilt, swirling together, contorting her smiles, until, at last, she’s honest with herself and, finally, that triggers the much too late honesty of her husband.
Damnit, that was too moving, even though that was sad and made me so angry.
Oh, and graphically? Despite the blur mosaics censorship, it’s incredibly well drawn.
Enough said. If you haven’t read it, come on, check it out, you MUST read it, to regret it afterwards. I know, it came off weird, but I *do* mean it
