Synopsis

Haruma Sakuraba's childhood friend Shuuji Inukai was a cut above him in every way imaginable, living out the glamorous life bestowed upon him. Haruma, an unassuming salaryman, has lived his every day clutching onto his inferiority complex, existing only in Shuuji's shadow. One day, Haruma coincidentally meets Shuuji's wife, Reika Sumi, who Haruma has always secretly admired since his high school days. With feelings of envy, jealousy, and more, a "secret" is born from Haruma's repetitive days.

My god...Why have I not heard of this series before or hear anybody talking about it? The story is thrilling, the characters more complex than your typical romance manga, and the art is amazing. This story is a real page turner. Every chapter just keeps getting more twisted and more questions are raised...well until the end. Everything is really condensed and it fits nicely into this little story.

If you like dark romance stories, this is a must read. I don't often say a series is underrated but this one is for sure. I'm glad I randomly found this since I never hear anybody talk about ...

I will definitely remember this one. A lot of twists happen in this manga that will shock you and although the premise may not appeal to some I promise that it's not about NTR. It only has 41 chapters and you should give it a try if you're looking for good romance story or thrills, although a flaw I will point out is how they attempted to make Shuuji (the blonde guy) likable towards the end although I do know that this is suppose to very realistic manga and not everyone is just all flaws I would've preferred Shuuji as a complete scumbag.

Quick note: the manga has 41.5 chapters, not 43 as MAL has noted for some reason.

Onto the review: simply said, I feel this is a severely underrated manga. I'm giving it a solid 8.5/10 based on three main factors:

- The constant sense of suspense/eerily-thrilling-feeling
- The simply gorgeous art/drawing style
- How re-reading the first half after getting to the end gives you a completely new perspective on what's happening in the initial chapters

I'd add one more: brevity. The author doesn't milk the story; these 41.5 chapters are fairly short at 18-19 pages each. The story is compact, fillerless and straight to the point. Respect to Asaga ...
