Batsu Hare (バツハレ) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Minori Inaba. It began serialization in Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Weekly Young Jump in March 2022.

The title is a word play on the words batsu (バツ), slang for "divorced," and hare (ハレ) that can mean "to clear up" or "special/festive". An approximate translation would be "A bright new life after divorce."

Plot

Ichiro Wakō, a 35-year-old salaryman, is left heartbroken and alone after his wife, Menka, cheated on him. His marriage had been sexually troubled since he disappointed her on their wedding night, leaving him with chronic erectile dysfunction. Now, unable to move on from the wife who betrayed him, he simply spends his days grieving.

His routine is shattered when Kurumi Shibuya, a 24-year-old colleague at his company, introduces herself as Menka's younger sister and promptly confesses her feelings for him.

Ichiro is captivated by Kurumi's gentle nature—a stark contrast to Menka's cruel and manipulative personality. His long-lost sexual vitality even seems to be on the verge of returning—yet, it vanishes the moment he looks at Kurumi's face, a mirror image of Menka's. Pained by his struggle, Kurumi dedicates herself to helping him navigate their dating life, striving to restore his ability to engage in a healthy romantic and physical relationship.
