The reika hate in the comment section is the definition of self deflection. Every single character has their issues, some far graver than others but the most grounded person (reika) seems to be getting hated on. And for her looks too? That’s just sad and shows that the targeted audience hasn’t been reached. There’s too many people reading this that haven’t reached emotional maturity and it’s evident. These stories are very real and very interesting. Of course mitsu is dealing with ego centric issues but we’ve reached a point in the story where she already knows that but because she lacked stability in her past she doesn’t care now. The husband has self esteem issues that became toxic, stalking her personal belongings, her affair partner, etc. but it seems like he’s about to start working on them. You need to reach rock bottom before you realize you need to go up. Kouki is the poster child of cheating husbands that come to regret what they’ve done, analysis for men like them exist already. Reika is a grounded stable character (opposite of mitsu) that has gotten tired of dealing with her husbands antics, reiterating to her mother that she doesn’t want to become like her. Someone who settles. The hate by the comments towards reika comes from a lack of understanding because they’re most likely children or adults who don’t understand the concept of boundaries and lack of emotional maturity. It’s obvious that mitsu and kouki are to blame but the story are using them to show that cheating is more complex. Of course not good but complex nonetheless, two things can be true at the same time.
