Josei romance manga with adults who are dishonest about or unable to act upon their feelings, so they often resort to manipulation and games. In this power struggle, good men turn to "bad behavior" to ensnare their targets while the women themselves are shrewd and not easily taken advantage of.

If you liked Ane no Kekkon add

...then you might like Anata no Koto wa Sorehodo add

Broken people, broken romances. The story and characterization in Ane no Kekkon draw strength from these issues while the characters in Anata no Koto wa Sorehodo have very few redeeming qualities. Either way, lots of mature drama in these josei romance manga.

Anno Moyoco was Okazaki's assistant and helped complete Helter Skelter after Okazaki was physically unable. Her strong influence on Anno, in both the drawing and writing style, is immediately evident. The themes are similar as well—women struggle with their own body image, how others perceive them, and the destructive extremes they go to for appearances.

Dramatic, disturbing josei manga that beautifully depict the deterioration of their characters.
