Episodes starting with a woman cheating on and/or dumping the MC for a "better" man (usually someone with good looks and money) will almost always end with the woman and/or her new partner receiving Laser-Guided Karma in some way. She'll almost always try to get back with the MC by proclaiming she loved him all along, begging him for forgiveness, or if he divorced her, to take her back. However, the MC sees through her crap and rejects her for her trouble. Therefore, this warrants Manga-Waido its own The Grovel page.
