Genuinely one of my favorite things about Naoki Urasawa is just how many divorced men there are in all of his works. It's straight up impossibile not to notice once you pick up on it. It's hilarious. A character doesn't even have to be canonically/legally separeted to be functionally divorced. Most divorced cast of all time. Most divorced cast of all time always in every manga. It cracks me up so bad.
