Wild ride.Poignant tale of adult love overcoming trial and tribulations which are tied to reality and some superficial ,taking shape in one's mind .It gets better with every read .Ryuta sensei handeled it brilliantly.
The character design compliments the two .Satou is a messy ,bespectacled 30 year old who lives a carefree life with his buddies.Mako is a luscious woman in her peak .Every panel with her accentuates her sensuality and evokes temptation.
Mako's family originates from conservative country side which flows in a set rhythym as told by the patriarchal head in this case Mako's father.
Not much is known from Satou's side of family.
Satou sailed through life professionally due to good networking ,becoming a leader head in r&d on plastics.It resulted in arguably inexistence of a drive which would set him apart .This would become a hook later on in the story.He never left the cushy comfort zone and ventured into a relationship with the other sex till he hit 30 and feeling lost on deciding second half of his life.
Meanwhile Mako is a goody two shoes girl following the path chosen for her.Things take a turn when she is intoxicated and sexually abused early in her life.She introspects and reflects on herself whether she needs to change .Her daddo reassures that she is perfect which from a personal pov would be the cause of strife between her rationale and the girl who leads on like it never happened.This results in her becoming insecure,stubborn and develop a dormant split personality .This duality often keeps her stupified and let others decide for herself as she lost the strength to take accountability for her choices and shift blame if it doesn't work out .The negative spiral keeps on till they get arranged for an Omai.
A handfull number of drama ensues ,none felt forced or hyperboled .Not spoiling here ~
The end result being both pulling each other out from their stupor and obviously a happy ending.
Last but not the least check up on Ryuta sensei's other works if one is comfortable with a bit of lewd .I find his dialogue delivery in his works one of a kind.
