Fukigen na Aibu

Wow, so this is not a good manga. The characters are very unrealistic and hard to follow. It might have been where I read it, but the writing (and maybe translations??) and manga art and panel set up is hard to understand. The story is pretty... awful too. Miori is a pretty awful character (both as a person and in how she is written), and Yutaka, the 15-year-old middle school kid, isn't any better. Miori is shallow adult chasing after the feelings of youth, something she can't find with her current boyfriend. She chases after these feelings by making mistake after mistake and ignoring obvious signsaround her, something that Yutaka is very willing to take advantage of. Both are terrible people, but they would rather fall farther than learn and grow. The story is hard to follow, and the pacing is poor. It is a trainwreck with flowers covering the rusted metal and rotten wood, to give it a metaphor. The events are pushed through dialogue, but the dialogue isn't very good. It's not a happy or fun story, and it's hard to not spoil anything. 3/10 I can't recommend reading this. Each of the 4 chapters are 40-60 pages, so it isn't a very short read, and the quality makes this an easy dodge. The topic isn't very interesting, and I wouldn't call it a happy/good ending, despite the author depicting it as one. Save your time and read something better.
