History Manga / TheFeelingsWeAllMustEndure

* SerialHomewrecker: Remi is an EmbodimentOfVice for [[GreenEyedMonster Envy]], so she takes a particular pleasure in seducing girls already in a relationship.

* ExtremeLibido: PlayedForDrama when [[spoiler:Asuna Yagi]] is revealed to have an extreme case of sex addiction, craving it pretty much every waking moment (WordOfGod even says that she is an EmbodimentOfVice for {{Lust}}). It is what ultimately ruins her relationship with her long-time girlfriend, and they break up despite still being very much in love with each other.

* CompletelyDifferentTitle: The translators decided against translating the original Japanese title verbatim, because many of the original's subtle meanings are lost on non-native Japanese speakers. Instead, they chose a title that reflected the manga's themes (especially [[spoiler:Asuna and Fueko]]'s relationship).

* UnfortunateImplications: [[spoiler:Sachi reciprocating Ruki's feeling is supposed to be heartwarming. However, this happens after Ruki discovered Sachi has been having sex with Remi for the past month first from Remi, and then Sachi herself. Sachi did to experience being a cheater, just to discover more about herself, and admits she's a terrible person. However, she shows no hints of staving off this behavior, her monologue is [[ItsAllAboutMe all about herself]] never considering Ruki's feelings, and she doesn't even appear to be the least bit remorseful over hurting Ruki with her actions. Also, in this relationship, she wants to not be protected but "protect" Ruki instead, carrying possessive undertones. It reflects the previous relationship she had with her boyfriend, only this time, she wants to be the one in control. Imagine Sachi was a boy during this moment and the implications become even worse. It's hard to believe Ruki's crying is TearsOfJoy.]]

* StarCrossedLovers: [[spoiler:Asuna and Fueko. It is painfully obvious that they love each other (in the [[TheFourLoves agape]] kind of way), but Fueko believes they shouldn't be together because she cannot give Asuna what she wants (lots and lots of sex), while Asuna loves Fueko too much to push for her to change. In the end, they never get together again--and never enter another relationship with anyone.]]

* YourCheatingHeart: Cheating is a recurring theme in the plot, especially how it affects both the adulterers and the ones they cheat on. [[spoiler:Sachi's boyfriend cheats on her with her friend she "stole" him from much earlier (leading to their breakup). Asuna cheats on Fueko with many girls, but especially Meru, until Fueko breaks up with her. Fueko herself tries to cheat on Asuna with Ruki but falls asleep in the process. And, of course, everyone cheats on their loved ones with Remi at some point.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:So yes, Sachi and Ruki stay together after graduation, and Maasa, Meru, and Remi end up in a weird semi-professional, semi-romantic triangle, but Asuna and Fueko never seem to get back together ''or'' move on with their lives.]]

''The Feelings We All Must Endure'' (or ''Watashi Sekai o Kouseisuru Chiri no You na Nani ka.'' in original Japanese--lit. "What Is Like Dust That Makes Up My World.") is a SliceOfLife YuriGenre manga by Creator/ShunintaAmano, following seven college students entangled in a complicated and sometimes painful web of relationships and desires. Much of its plot is driven by the '''[[Characters/TheFeelingsWeAllMustEndure main characters']]''' exploration of their relationships and sexuality, as well as finding out what exactly motivates each of them to behave in the way they do.

* BiTheWay: Meru seems to swing both ways, while [[spoiler:Sachi has absolutely no problem with returning Ruki's feelings]].

''The Feelings We All Must Endure'' (or ''Watashi Sekai o Kouseisuru Chiri no You na Nani ka.'' in original Japanese--lit. "What Is Like Dust That Makes Up My World.") is a SliceOfLife YuriGenre manga by Creator/ShunintaAmano, following seven college students entangled in a complicated and sometimes painful web of relationships and desires. The main characters are:

* '''Ruki Shishido'''. The [[EnsembleCast nominally central]] heroine of the story, Ruki is a hard-working, if naive girl crushing on her oblivious (and straight) friend Sachi.
* '''Sachi "Sacchan" Ogami'''. A beautiful, reserved girl striving to be the [[YamatoNadeshiko perfect girlfriend]] to her possessive boyfriend.
* '''Fueko "Fue" Kikuma'''. Ruki's best friend, who is perpetually tired and [[{{Sleepyhead}} sleeps through most of the plot]].
* '''Remia "Remi" Mitsuhashi'''. The CoolBigSis of the group, she is two years older than the rest and mentors them in the matters of love to the best of her ability.
* '''Asuna Yagi'''. A [[StoicSpectacles serious bespectacled]] girl with a complicated relationship to Meru and Fueko.
* '''Meru Inoue'''. The [[GenkiGirl cheerful]], if simple-minded girl involved with Remi and Asuna.
* '''Maasa Inariba'''. An intelligent and reliable daughter of a super-rich family, for whom she doesn't really care. The youngest of the group.

Much of the plot is driven by the main characters' exploration of their relationships and sexuality, as well as finding out what exactly motivates each of them to behave in the way they do.

* {{Asexual}}: [[spoiler:Fueko is completely uninterested in sex, perhaps as a side effect of her unspecified condition that leaves her wary of ''any'' strenuous activity.]]

* BigEater: Meru sure seems to eat a lot for such a slender figure. [[spoiler:Ultimately PlayedForDrama, when it is revealed that she suffers from bulimia as a result of being naturally chubby and consequent verbal abuse by classmates in school. Remi comments that when she met Meru, the latter was a shivering pile of disorders and neuroses.]]

* ClosetKey: Ruki technically has two: Sachi is her first true love, although she doesn't understand her feelings until later, while Remi introduces her to lesbian sex (and sex in general).

* CoolBigSis: Remi plays this role to the rest of the girls, being two years older than them. Her favorite counseling topics include relationships and sexual education... [[ReallyGetsAround of practical sort]].
* CuteLittleFangs: Remi sports one, indicating her playful personality.
* DeathGlare: Sachi is infamous for these among her friends.

* TheGadfly[=/=]TheTease: Remi seems to enjoy pushing others' buttons just to see them react.
* GenkiGirl: Meru seems a happy-go-lucky person, although [[spoiler:her facade hides what is probably the most serious issues of the entire main cast]].

* GirlFriday: By the epilogue, Meru seems to have decided for his career, becoming a secretary to [[spoiler:Maasa, of all people. Maasa, in a typical Maasa fashion, considers her efforts insufficient, but laudable, nonetheless]].

* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Remi seems to go for the bottle whenever she is bored (which is anytime she is not sleeping or having sex), but never actually seems to get drunk--unlike the ones she drinks with.

* IAmWhatIAm: [[spoiler:Maasa's scientific breakdown of why pigs are good seems to help Meru get over her childhood trauma of being called that for her excessive weight and accept her inherent chubbiness. In the epilogue, she seems to have started putting on weight again and is perfectly at peace with that.]]

* InsufferableGenius: Maasa knows that she is smart and resourceful and doesn't really give a crap about what others' think of her.
* IronLady: Maasa is an intelligent, non-nonsense woman who leads a large company long before her graduation.
* LovableSexManiac: Remi would have sex with any girl she meets--and make sure both of them enjoy it.
* TheMatchmaker: Remi happily sets up her friends with each other and counsels their relationships... right before offering a threesome.

* {{NEET}}: At their graduation, Fueko admits that she will probably end up as this.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Ruki tends to get lost a lot, especially when Sachi is around. On the other hand, this trait is what facilitated her first encounter with Sachi: if she weren't so hopelessly lost on her way to the entrance exam, Sachi would probably walk right past her without offering to help.
* NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:Behind her calm facade, Asuna is a sex-starved nymphomaniac.]]
* ReallyGetsAround: Remi seems to have slept with all of the girls in the university (including the entire main cast), Meru can't even remember who she slept with, and [[spoiler:Asuna seems to approach Remi in terms of promiscuity]].

* TheScrooge: Despite coming from a very rich family, Maasa counts every penny.

* SilkHidingSteel: Once Sachi gets out of her Meek Subservient Mode, the strong personality and willpower behind her polite facade become increasingly apparent.
* {{Sleepyhead}}: Fueko seems to suffer from some sort of narcolepsia, constantly falling asleep in any situation.

* TheStoic: Asuna appears to be one.
* StoicSpectacles: Asuna wears thin glasses that go well with her reserved public persona.
* TheTeamBenefactor: Maasa's rich family lets her provide resources for the girls' more costly excursions, although she usually expects to be reimbursed later.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Sachi sees it as her duty to be the perfect, subservient future wife to her boyfriend--which works out as well as you can expect, especially considering [[spoiler:her own (well-suppressed) domineering streak]].
* {{Yandere}}: Downplayed with Sachi. She comes very close to snapping, but thanks to Ruki, never actually does. It is still obvious that [[spoiler:she is not above using forceful methods to maintain her relationships]].
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Maasa is actually the youngest of the core cast, despite appearing older and more responsible than most of them.

* TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest: Downplayed. [[spoiler:After getting together with Sachi, Ruki recognizes how traumatic Sachi's previous relationship has been and resolves ''not'' to be like her ex-boyfriend in any way, which, at times, hinders they own relationship. Luckily, they manage to work it out.]]

* CantHaveSexEver: Downplayed. [[spoiler:Asuna and Fueko ''can'' have sex, and did so several times in the past, but Fueko is asexual and sees it as a heavy burden, while Asuna can never get enough of it. Neither of them is selfish enough to demand the other to change her ways, so they voluntarily limit their physical interactions to much tamer expressions of affection.]]

* CompletelyDifferentTitle: The translators decided against translating the original Japanese title verbatim, because many of the original's subtle meanings are lost on non-native Japanese speakers. Instead, they chose a title that reflected the manga's themes (especially [[spoiler:Asuna and Fueko]]'s relationship.

* EnsembleCast: While Ruki and Sachi spend the most time in the limelight, their arcs are much tamer than the other girls'.

* IAmWhatIAm: [[spoiler:Maasa's scientific breakdown of why pigs are good seems to help Meru get over her childhood trauma of being called that for her excessive weight. In the epilogue, she seems to have started putting on weight again.]]
* IronLady: Maasa is a non-nonsense woman who leads a large company long before her graduation.

* {{Neet}}: At their graduation, Fueko admits that she will probably end up as this.

[[spoiler:Sachi's boyfriend cheats on her with her friend she "stole" him from much earlier (leading to their breakup). Asuna cheats on Fueko with many girls, but especially Meru, until Fueko breaks up with her. Fueko herself tries to cheat on Asuna with Ruki but falls asleep in the process. And, of course, everyone cheats on their loved ones with Remi at some point.]]

* SevenDeadlySins: WordOfGod reveals that the EnsembleCast got started as EmbodimentsOfVice: [[spoiler:Ruki embodies {{Pride}}, Sachi is Wrath, Fueko is Sloth, Asuna is {{Lust}}, Maasa is {{Greed}}, and Meru is Gluttony]].
* SilkHidingSteel: Once Sachi gets out of her Meek Subservient Mode, the strong personality and willpower behind her polite facade becomes increasingly apparent.
