Review:

At first, I didn't have plans to finish this manga. I only read it because it has a cute cover. But it turns out to be a hentai fantasy in lowkey sci-fi setting. I have to commend the MC for being able to hold back from a G-cup woman though.

Anyway this story shows the struggles of a married couple and a strong love despite the huge age gap.

The ending was shocking, when they finally got back to their original timelines, 40-year-old Rinosuke instantly declared that he wants to marry 20-year old Marina upon contact. While Rinosuke still retained memories about the Marina who time-traveled and Marina whose existence was reformatted - it is a very unrealistic and shocking development.

I do get the gist of their interpretation of love though. But the ending was too much.
