The roller-coaster of emotions with the Tarareba girls is over!
Overall, the series was a good one, but there are still a few things that irked me. These women...make bad decisions. I mean, as humans do. We're terrible. And I guess that added depth? In a way.
Mostly though, I found the Tara and Reba (Milt and Liver) "characters" distracting. Throughout the WHOLE series. I get that they were a play on words. But my god, how annoying. I also hate that the "bonus content" area of each volume was wasted on them and their poor advice. I honestly couldn't even read them. I enjoyed the questions and mulling over what MY advice to the person would be (because...that's a thing I do, apparently), but I couldn't read the rest. Something about the way the segments with them are drawn is just...visually overwhelming and I couldn't focus on them. Even within the main comic, I often drifted over the pages with them involved.
Also, way to make your characters seem delusional, Higashimura Sensei!
But, I'm glad I read it. It's a different, and yet similar, feel to Princess Jellyfish. I hope more fans of that will give this one a shot.

Unfortunately, the ending brought the entire story down. I understand that this was another tale about choosing love instead of settling for a confortamble life, but that is just not my perspective as someone that is also 33 years old now.
In the end, the main character simply decided to leave a nice stable guy that would make her happy for the sad asshole guy that she loves and she decides that what will make her happy is to make him happy even if he doesn't love her as much (what?). She even asks what she has to change in order for him to love her, which was exactly the issue she had with a former guy she dated and one of the reasons she broke up with him... I would be fine if she ended up with sad guy if she had never been with the other nice guy and if she didn't decide to basically live just for the one guy she currently loves. I kept reading this manga hoping for an ending that would be different than this end goal that I was expecting, but in that way it was predictable. At least it was realistic enough to not make the guy instantly love her back, but the reason he was interested in the main character in the first place is because she resembles his dead lover (I hate this kind of plot line).
On a happier note, the women decided that they like hanging out to drink and complain and nothing changed much in that aspect. At least, the friends of the main character decided not to keep seeing the cheaters too. That is why the volume gets 2 stars instead of 1.

3 stars for the series as a whole. The first few chapters were so funny, I regularly quoted them to others. The serious bits were good too, there was some truth in there, though it seemed bleak at times. But the advice columns were just horrible... They really brought the series down for me. And then the ending wasn't anything that people didn't see coming for miles. And I really hated this thing being repeated 'you are old, you have to settle down, you have to lower your standards'. Sure some people might have standards that are too high, but high standards in general aren't a bad thing...
Tldr: loved the beginning, it all went downhill from there...

The ending sucked… Key needs therapy, not a new woman that he’ll treat like shit. I hope Rinko drops him in the sequel!
總算看完了
就算是漫畫
全英文九集也看了四個月才看完
尤其讀者來信篇字多又小，看得有夠累
那些甘願當小三喜歡搞一夜情天性愛出軌的
就別上來哭結不了婚了好嗎!!
劇情有點虎頭蛇尾的感覺
雖然金髮男賤嘴都嘴到點上
但不能接受最後三集金髮男上位
跟日劇改編不同的是
倫子已經跟早坂君同居了
還是二度甩了早坂
跑了六集也看不出倫子愛金髮男那裡啊
Interesting Behavior!! (請參美帝空軍禮貌對話詞語對照表)
日劇改成一起找房子的過程中
倫子逐漸發覺其實並不是真的愛早坂
比漫畫合理得多，我不能接受漫畫結局啊啊
雖然我也是轉職魔法師後才開始努力
又是男性，可能無法體會女性的感覺
不過還是覺得日本人框架很沉重
尤其看讀者來信的內容
日本人總是覺得一定要這樣或那樣才是人生正軌
好累啊，過三十歲又怎樣啦~
最後劇情轉折不喜歡，總體評價兩顆星
吉高由里子好正，看日劇就好啦
