Certainly not with Alex Medford, who insisted on meddling with Gail's happily engaged clients! STOPPING THEM WAS HIS HABIT! First his father, now his brother. Why couldn't Alex convince anyone that marriage was hogwash? Because Gail peddled illusions of happily ever after, that was why! Now Alex's family believed no nuptials were complete without her magic touch. And maybe they were right. Suddenly Alex couldn't imagine getting married without Gail...as his bride.

That day, I killed myself to protect the "family structure." For everyone who is worried about their relationship with their parents. A comic about the real life story of a young carer who regains lost emotions! A mother with schizophrenia, a father who is indifferent to the family, a younger brother who is treated specially, a grandfather with dementia... Yui has been taking care of her family since kindergarten, doing everything she can, including shopping, cooking, cleaning, and laundry. She endured her mother's violence as a child, suppressing her "childishness," and did her best to survive, and now as an adult, she is aware of herself as a "young carer." This is a story of her rebirth, as she struggles with problems through work, marriage, and child-rearing, but regains her lost emotions. (source: Bunshun, translated)
