Dososei Ep.8

Our guys and gals push their love forward, but as we all know, it's not easy as they encounter hesitation, guilt, and physical violence.

(spoiler)

In order to be with Akehi and her kids, Kenta works hard to build financial stability.  However, it is hard to secure that by running a small cleaning/laundry business.  He needs to buy a new pricy washing machine.

Kenta and his parents

Kenta's parents come for a visit.  After seeing Kenta's situation, they give him financial assistance.  

They meet Akehi who came to the store.  Kenta's mother senses what's going on between her son and Akehi.   

Ryousuke is demoted and now works in a different department in his company.  He tells about the demotion to Kaoruko first, which makes her happy.  He suggests that they should find an apartment to live together.  Kaoruko hesitates at first, but starts to look for an apartment.  

Ryosuke goes home and tells his wife and her mother about his demotion.  Although his mother-in-law is not happy to hear the news, his wife becomes sympathetic.  She stops nagging at him and even offers to look for a job herself to make up for the income reduction.  She behaves like a good wife.

Akehi and Kenta were seen together by one of the hair salon staff.  The staff threatens Akehi that he will tell that to her husband.  She answers, "Go ahead."

Filling out Divorce Paper

Finding Divorce Paper

Akehi fills out a divorce registration paper, and hides it at home.  Her husband finds it and becomes furious.  He kicks her out.

The Result

Akehi goes to Kaoruko for help.  When Kaoruko gave Akehi her apartment keys, she finds bruises on Akehi's wrist/arm.  She takes pictures of those as the evidence of domestic violence.
