For long-time fans, Chapter 29 will hurt. But it’s a good hurt—the kind that comes from seeing fictional people stumble toward honesty. Whether Reiya and Mei survive this reset remains to be seen. But as the title promises: even so, tomorrow, they might try again.
Deducted half a point only because we have to wait for Chapter 30 to see the aftermath.

When Reiya and Mei finally meet at their usual café, the atmosphere is glacial. He orders her favorite matcha latte without asking. She notices. Instead of feeling loved, she feels analyzed. This is the core conflict of "Soredemo Ashita mo Kareshi ga Ii 29"—Mei articulates something she’s been suppressing for chapters: “You do things because you know you should, not because you want to.”
Reiya, for the first time in the entire series, is speechless. Not the cool, collected silence. But the panicked silence of someone caught performing rather than living. One of the brilliant choices in Chapter 29 is who initiates the conflict. In most romance manga, the male lead would snap first. Here, it’s Mei. She confesses that she has been looking at other couples—not because she wants to cheat, but because she’s trying to figure out if her relationship with Reiya is normal.
Warning: This article contains heavy spoilers for Chapter 29 of Soredemo Ashita mo Kareshi ga Ii (Even So, I'd Prefer a Boyfriend Tomorrow). Please read the chapter first if you wish to avoid major plot reveals.
Mei, on the other hand, has struggled with her own self-worth. Working a draining job and managing social pressures, she has often used Reiya as an emotional anchor. The problem? Anchors need to be checked for rust.
Chapter 29, released [insert latest release date if known, or state "in the latest compiled volume/serialization"], is a masterclass in payoff. After weeks (or months, depending on your reading pace) of simmering tension, half-truths, and the lingering shadow of Reiya’s past, this chapter forces a confrontation that many fans have been both dreading and demanding.
