This story gave me the same emotions as a really good suspenseful horror movie. The tension rises with every chapter. It's a slow-motion car crash that's hard to look away from, and the story delivers on the actual car crash.
It's about a man that has lost his wife to an illness, is treated poorly at work while performing well and receiving recognition for it, has a mentally unstable daughter that has abandonment issues.
In all this misery he meets a classmate of his daughter perchance in a quiet coffee shop he frequents.
The main girl has an abusive mother that is stuck in a terrible relationship with a man that dislikes her and cheats on her with another woman so frequently that he's rarely at home.
Both of them see something in each other and thus begins that walk on razor's edge that is a truly uncomfortable relationship.
Nobody in this manga makes the best decisions, but they make decisions that are human. I was uncomfortable the whole way through, but I also couldn't stop reading. I was scared that the main character was going to compromise his morals as a decent human being, but I was also scared that he'd fall into a pit of despair.
I will now spoil if the story has a good ending or not, sometimes that's important for people to decide if they want to read something. Personally, I think you should go on this ride blind.

Nobody goes to jail, nobody's life is totally ruined,
