Mada Nakunatteinai Hito (Wives Who Has Not Yet ed Away) is a manga that, at first glance, may look like a very wholesome romance manga. But the title already spoils you: something bad will happen at anytime, and those happy times will not remain forever. In my opinion, that's the best thing about this manga; you get anxious thinking about when everything will start to go wrong.

About the art: The art is not the prettiest thing that you will ever see, but it is not bad either. My only complaint about it is that everyone looks horny in this manga most of the time.

About the ... story: It starts pretty good but decays a little at the end. I recommend you avoid thinking too much about it.

Conclusion: At the end of the day, Mada Nakunatteinai is still a good manga, despite its flaws. I didn't like how it ended, but I don't think that it was a waste of time reading it. It concludes the story in a good way; you will not get frustrated with it.

By now it seems obvious that Saotome Yagi is just bad at wrapping up her storylines. Much like her other more prominent work ('Bokutachi wa Hanshoku wo Yameta'), this one starts out pretty intense. Thriller, drama, mystery - it has it all, and their mixture keeps you alert and on the edge.

Unfortunately, by the final third of volume 4 and throughout the final volume 5, it all goes downhill. The resolution of the main conflict is there, but it's weak and too jumbled. In no way does it match the intensity of the manga's earlier chapters.

Some people might dislike Saotome Yagi's art, but I dig ... it. There's quite a bit of facial reusing here (the main heroine has some resemblance to the 'Bokutachi wa...' FMC). Nevertheless, a lot of the drawings match the suspense and dread surrounding key plot points. Steamier scenes are also drawn decent enough.

Dunno. I'm a bit bummed out. This started out really promising and once more I'm forced to give a 'Mixed feelings' verdict to a work of hers. 5.5/10 to 6/10, but not more.

Shame - could have been an easy 7.5/10 were it not for the last volume and a half, and its weak closures and slightly absurd forced drama.

If you have some spare time, sure, go ahead and read it. It's a bit like eating plain bread because you're bored though.
