Description
From well-known manga author and Romance-writer veteran Yoshizumi Wataru comes 'Cappuccino', a bittersweet love story about the life of Kojima Ari and Fujitani Sousuke as they live together in a de facto relationship (without marriage) in modern-day Japan.

Ari & Sousuke decide to live together for convenience, shock Ari's family, procrastinate marriage, then run into trouble: Sousuke has an affair. In many ways this is a morality tale. Ari trusts her lover to one day pop the question, but once he has her he doesn't need to marry her. Heck, he doesn't even help around the apartment with the chores. Because he doesn't respect Ari, he steps out on her. Ari is left devastated, the relationship ends, and Ari takes time to heal. It's a slice of life manga that drives home the point that a girl needs to stand up for herself or a guy will take advantage of her. Unfortunately, Ari's character was very passive. She didn't steer her ship as much as she wrung her hands on deck while hoping it wouldn't crash. She recovered from Sousuke's betrayal, but we were never shown that she learned a lesson, or that she became stronger. She just sorta survived. Not very inspiring. Not an upbeat tale. But it wasn't a bad read.
