【Uri wo Waru】Portraying Real-Life, Marriage, and Romantic Patterns!

The work titled “Uri wo Waru” is a story that depicts the indescribable struggles of an apparently ordinary 32-year-old office lady in a way that is realistic yet easy to read, without becoming overly serious.
Her daily life, hidden thoughts, and the human dynamics around her are described delicately and realistically.

On the surface, the protagonist appears to be an ordinary woman with no issues. However, she has a complex that she cannot reveal to anyone.
That is the fact that she has never had a physical relationship with a man.
In casual conversations with friends, when the topic comes up, she guards her secret by using deceptive phrases like 'I haven't done it for a while' or 'I haven't had a boyfriend for a while.'

This manga carefully depicts her emotional journey to overcome her own struggles and take action.

The allure of this story is not just in the protagonist but also in the realistically portrayed lives and perspectives on love of the various people around her.
By focusing on each of her workplace colleagues and friends, the manga depicts a variety of life patterns.
This story goes beyond just being a manga and evokes deep empathy, almost as if one is listening to the life stories of others.
Perhaps it's because these are topics that we can't usually talk about casually that a realistic manga like this can evoke so much empathy.

Through the author's delicate touch, the reader can deeply enter the protagonist's inner world and genuinely feel her desperate thoughts.
Works featuring a female protagonist dealing with such themes are rare, and her internal struggles are portrayed with an authentic touch of humanity. The story not only focuses on the main character but also delves into the troubles and lives of those around her, unfolding as a multi-faceted drama that allows glimpses into the complexities of human emotions.

“Uri wo Waru” transcends the boundaries of mere romance manga, exploring life, growth, and the complexities of human relationships. The courage taken by the protagonist to step forward, as well as the warmth and intricacies of those who surround her, leaves a lasting impression. This is more than just a story; it may awaken the courage in each of us to overcome our own “small hurdles.” It's a highly valuable work that makes one look forward to the next development. I highly recommend picking it up and stepping into its world.
