“Revenge of the Expired Wife” Manga Series Begins Pre-release
“Revenge of the Expired Wife – Teach Both Your Husband and the Cheating Woman a Lesson!” (original title: Shōmi Kigen Gire no Tsuma no Gyakushū) is a new manga series that began pre-release on the Japanese digital manga platform Comic Cmoa as of June 12, 2024. The creator of the series, Akari Hayano, is a mangaka known for her romantic and dramatic works.
The story centers on a woman who is shaken when her husband's attitude completely changes after she gives birth. When her husband considers her "expired" and starts a relationship with another woman, the protagonist vows revenge. The series' subtitle makes this clear: "Teach both your husband and the cheating woman a lesson!"
Akari Hayano brings this "betrayed wife's revenge" concept to the josei genre, which is very popular among Japanese readers. Especially in recent years, "vengeful wife" themed mangas (like Fukushū no Himegoto) have garnered great interest. Comic Cmoa's pre-release is an ideal opportunity for readers who want early access to the series. The platform usually increases excitement by releasing new series a few chapters ahead.
It has not yet been announced when the series will start regular chapter releases, but if the pre-release is successful, it is expected to continue on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Akari Hayano's bold treatment of sensitive subjects throughout her career indicates that this series will offer emotional depth and a compelling revenge story. Manga readers in Turkey may show great interest if the series gets an official translation; but for now, it is only available in Japanese on Comic Cmoa.
