Discussion question for readers: Do you think Yuiko’s hesitation is self-protection or self-sabotage? And more importantly—does the other guy even want a real relationship, or is he just the fantasy version of escape?

Let me know your thoughts below. And someone please buy Yuiko a warm drink. She needs it.

The chapter opens on a Sunday morning. Yuiko is alone in her apartment, scrolling through her phone. She sees a story post from the “other guy”—just a blurry photo of a cat on a rainy street. No caption. No heart emoji. Just an image. And yet, she stares at it for three panels. soredemo ashita mo kareshi ga ii 29

Her internal monologue is devastating: “Why am I looking for meaning in a cat photo?”

The rest of the chapter is a series of small moments:

Before diving into Chapter 29, a quick recap. The previous chapters focused on the aftermath of Mei encountering one of Reiya’s former love interests. While Reiya has always been portrayed as the "perfect" boyfriend—attentive, cool, and fiercely loyal—the narrative has slowly peeled back layers of insecurity. We learned that Reiya’s past relationship ended messily, not because of infidelity, but because of emotional unavailability.

Mei, on the other hand, has struggled with her own self-worth. Working a draining job and managing social pressures, she has often used Reiya as an emotional anchor. The problem? Anchors need to be checked for rust. Rating: 9/10 (minus one point because my heart

Chapter 28 ended with a silent exchange—Reiya canceling a planned date via text, and Mei simply replying “I understand.” That two-word response was a bomb waiting to go off. And Chapter 29 is the detonation.

In the sprawling landscape of romance manga, few series manage to capture the quiet, uncomfortable, and often exhilarating nuances of young adult relationships quite like Soredemo Ashita mo Kareshi ga Ii (Even So, I’ll Take a Boyfriend Tomorrow). Written by the perceptive Nagisa Furuya, this series has consistently refused to settle for easy tropes. Instead, it dissects the anxieties of commitment, the fear of loneliness versus the fear of settling, and the microscopic shifts that either bind two people together or slowly drive them apart.

As fans around the world eagerly scan raw scans and wait for translated releases, Chapter 29 has emerged as a pivotal turning point in the series. This chapter not only continues the emotional juggling act of our protagonist, Yuni Kururugi, but throws a wrench into the very definition of what it means to be "happy" in a relationship.

The central narrative tension of Soredemo Ashita mo Kareshi ga Ii has always been Yuni’s inability to choose between security (Gento) and excitement (Fujishima). But Chapter 29 introduces a third option: neither.

During a lunch break in Chapter 29, Yuni meets with her friend Risa. The dialogue here is razor-sharp. Risa asks a question that has been haunting the fandom for months: "Are you staying with Gento because you love him, or because you’re afraid of what happens if you leave?"

Yuni doesn’t answer. Instead, she spills a drink. The visual metaphor is not lost. The constant mess of her indecision is spilling all over the table of her life.

Meanwhile, a short interlude cuts to Fujishima. For the first time in several chapters, he is not scheming to steal Yuni away. He is seen walking home alone, earbuds in, scrolling past Yuni’s social media. He looks at a photo of her and Gento at a ramen shop. He doesn’t scowl. He doesn’t smirk. He just looks... tired. He sighs, locks his phone, and keeps walking. Furuya subverts expectations here: The "aggressor" has stopped fighting. This lack of pressure on Yuni is actually more destabilizing. If Fujishima has moved on, what excuse does she have left to stay in her current limbo?
