So the mega twist of this whole series is that Yayoi's husband passed away 10 years ago but she's hasn't been able to move on after all this time?!?!
To think it turns out this whole series was basically just some super hot, horny tsundere widow vanilla?! Dagashi really had us going lol!
I'm just happy Yayoi has a genuine smile on her face at the end. Lonely milfs deserve happy endings!
(also Yayoi's new nipple piercings!!❤)
And to think this whole time the chad looking Shishigami (who we thought was nothing but a homewrecking asshole who only wanted to use Yayoi for sex... although I'm still like 85% sure he didn't figure out she was a widow lol) was trying to make Yayoi his woman which in turn did help Yayoi to move on from her late husband and finally gets a chance to be happy again!
The fact we know this now makes this series like 100 times hotter!
-@engrishteacher, I literally had the suspicion the husband was dead from the last chapter, Secrecy... Episode 2 - Page 4.
With her husband's wedding ring in the box, all the family photos on the wall (all with Satsuki as a kid) and Yayoi still leaving his suit hung up.
I had the sneaking suspicion that the husband was deceased. Normally, in NTR scenarios, the person being cheated on is shown or witnessed by the cheaters. This is definitely a saga worthy of filing away in my favorites. It's hot and messy as fuck, and such a scintillatingly satisfying read.
@engrishteacher:
If we had sometimes seen the husband lurking in the back-
ground, only to finally discover he's a ghost, that would've
been a proper M. Night-style twist. It would've been a very
cool ending, too.
I will say from what we knew in the previous two chapters, the cheating tag was warranted. Not too sure if it really let the cat out of the bag with that tag being attached for this chapter, however.
It was brought up internally, but we decided to tag it to not give away the twist. That, and content is typically tagged solely based on what's in the chapter. The first two parts and everything up until the final page in the third was presented as a cheating story, so that's what the reader will experience.
I thought for certain that this was just going to be another NTR series with a bad ending for the family, but then... Her husband has been deceased for a decade?!
...
She technically wasn't cheating then, it was simply a betrayal of her lingering feelings for the man she had once called her husband...
This plot twist was genuinely surprising. Bravo, author, bravo.
Hey guys I'm a late comer, but I think he's a player that got played. I read all three chapters in a row, sorry but the house wife let him think he was a home wreaker just to get a ring on her finger. Way to go MILF.
It could also be possible they were both in on the whole "homewrecker scenario" and he was really acting that way to turn her on enough to move on from her dead husband.
Here I was waiting to the final chapter to find out this was vanilla. We need more of this to replace ntr going forward. Subversion of expectations is great, like when Kurosugatari has ugly bastard but he is the nicest guy and ntr where the husband is a deadbeat sponge. Great twist at the end!
The "cheating" tag is quite misleading (on all three episodes),
but if you remove the tag, perceptive readers would probably
guess the "twist" too soon. It's a real storytelling conundrum.
Well, typically when you pick up a book at a library they don't come with tags that potentially spoil the plot. Since the tags lead the readers expectations in a certain direction, the author used them to mislead the readers. While I'd prefer not to see this sort of thing too often since it sort of undermines the purpose of having the tags in the first place, I still think the plot twist was brilliant.
I suppose you could still argue that the 'cheating' tag applies to her feelings for her deceased husband and his memory which were betrayed or perhaps desecrated by her debauched behavior with her new lover.
Yeah, it would have been problematic not tagging it as cheating the first two chapters (it should be applied considering what the reader knew at that point) and indeed, there would be an expected twist esp considering the way the bf was carrying on about how she should forget her husband. I do see the delimma now.
Well, if Page 8 comes right after Page 7 in a short time period, that cheating tag needs to come off. Last I knew, a widow is completely free to have a lover without it being considered cheating. She also had no problems with the boyfriend badmouthing her deceased when she held his memory so dear, which didn't and doesn't make sense.
To think it turns out this whole series was basically just some super hot, horny tsundere widow vanilla?! Dagashi really had us going lol!
Secrecy... Episode 1 - (Secrecy... Episode 1 - Page 8 is the same page as Surrounded by Warmth - Page 14)
Secrecy... Episode 2 - (Secrecy... Episode 2 - Page 8 is the same page as Surrounded by Warmth - Page 22)
Secrecy... Episode 3 - (Secrecy... Episode 3 - Page 1 is the same page as Enveloped in a Hot Shower - Page 17)
Dagashi truly is one hell of an artist!!
