His and Her Circumstances Vol. 13 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

Arima’s mental state deteriorates as the toxic legacy of his bloodline and the psychological scars left by his adoptive parents consume him. He spirals into a cycle of self-destruction, distancing himself from Yukino as he struggles to reconcile his dark, repressed impulses with the image of the 'perfect' boy he was forced to become. Yukino, having long since moved past her own superficial need for admiration, realizes that true love requires confronting the ugliest parts of each other’s history. The narrative shifts from a lighthearted school romance to a harrowing psychological drama, focusing on their struggle to forge a path forward amidst genuine despair. Their confrontation is not merely about conflict, but about witnessing the disintegration of their shared identity and the agonizing process of piecing themselves back together. As Arima reaches his lowest point, Yukino must decide if her love is enough to anchor him, or if they are both destined to be consumed by the secrets they carry.
