I wanted to like this, and it had a lot of the tropes I enjoy but didn't come together in the end. The pace is ridiculous fast--it drops in with Abe going full ham from the jump, so we don't get to know the characters at all. I liked Yae, and that she attempted to stand up for herself, but the pace is too fast and trying too hard to be funny, so she spends the whole volume just reacting more than having any development or foundation for her feelings.
The attempted humor/ridiculousness of the premise tried too hard. It ended up more on the absurd side than amusing for me, and Abe just read like every red flag for future domestic violence and partner abuse. He's more caricature than character.
