YMMV / What Did You Eat Yesterday?

• Tear Jerker:
  • The stories of some of Shiro's clients can have you screaming "Not fair!" at the manga. Take the poor soul in #11: Her husband has an affair and then she's institutionalized for mental health problems — and while she's in hospital, her cheating husband unilaterally files for divorce. When she gets out, said husband has full custody of their son, and refuses to give her any visitation rights. This leads her to end up screaming for her son at her ex-husband's house, giving him more ammunition that she should be totally denied any access to her child (he maintains that, with his son "accepting" his father's new wife as his mother, he doesn't want to "confuse" his son by reintroducing his biological mother). She meekly accepts her husband's disgusting treatment of her, and doesn't intend to legally challenge him on his infidelity or his taking advantage of her poor mental health. By abjectly grovelling to the ex-husband, the only concession that Shiro manages to win for this distraught mother is that she's allowed to watch her son as she plays with the her ex and the woman her ex dumped her for from a distance — and even then, this is only permitted if Shiro gives up his days off to accompany her. So once a month she gets a front row seat to the family life her ex denied her as he plays happy families with their son and his former mistress. Ouch.
    • Later on the woman gets a bittersweet ending. She receives a letter from the woman her ex cheated on her, with the letter stating that she would not be bringing her son to the amusement park anymore due to him growing up, but she can make and send video diaries to communicate with her son and letting her know the child wants to know his real mother as well.
  • One of the case Shiro gets is a case of Domestic Abuse. Unfortunately the victim did not seek for help until he took too much damage from abuse and even then it took his friend to convince him to sue his wife. With Kakei's help he managed to get the proper help and compensation but during the time the case was undergoing, many people did not believe him and Kakei as the man is a burly man while his wife the abuser is a dainty little woman. The man even said that some place outright rejected him without verifying the facts. He was very glad that Kakei did not judge him and offered him help.
