Josei as hell. Read it in Japanese, not a bad first chapter but MC has it rough.

Note that it might not, like bunch of other manga, show up on the site if you're outside USA. You should browse the site through a USA-based web proxy to see everything that's available; just google for "browser proxy usa" or similar, and remember not to block scripts with the proxy. You may also need to start browsing at the base url instead of direct links to anything, or you might get a 404 not found error.

Cool. Something new to read. Manga Box hasn't had a lot of good josei titles.

I understand that this manga treads unexplored terrain, but the amount of melodrama it packs is over the top. She does indeed have "hard times" ahead. Thanks for the reference, I will definitely be following it.

ps.- the "50% OFF" label was a very powerful image... just "wow"

This sounds really interesting. The brief description makes the story sound pretty relatable.

Just for the record: it does not show in Spain. I had to use the mentioned proxy.

BTW Yoshiko Kon is 27 year old women herself and it's her debut series according to this site (found it while I was googling about this mangaka).

She could really care less about the lot of it.


Ugh, one of my pet peeves. I hate it when people mindlessly say/type this without thinking about the phrase's meaning. I don't understand what's so difficult about adding not or n't after could.

Man this is definitely a "josei" title. Hopefully, they will print this. We need a book like this in the collection. So looking forward to when it's released.
