The manga artist further disclosed that her husband’s infidelity was covered up by a group of his friends, who created alibis and helped him keep the affair hidden. According to her, the betrayal was so well-orchestrated that she spent years completely unaware. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the situation escalated, and her husband even moved in with his mistress.

“Ah, and I’m also progressing on my betrayal-exposure manga! I hope society punishes these men who think cheating is just a game or a privilege of wealthy men. I’m drawing with tears of blood, and I hope it reaches the mistress, who called me a nuisance.”
Born on March 24, 1966, in Iwakura, Aichi Prefecture, Kusunoki Kei is married and has two children.
