Heart Says No, But I Want to Be Bound – Sumire Mihara

Synopsis

Sumire had been feeling suffocated by her husband’s controlling behavior.

Twelve years into their marriage, they never had children, but the couple had been happy together. However, in recent years, her husband became increasingly stressed from workplace competition for promotion, and gradually began to control Sumire more and more.

Because of this, Sumire was forced to quit her job and became a full-time housewife. She was even forbidden from going out. Her only escape was going out during the day while her husband was at work.

One day, while complaining about her home life to a junior colleague, Sumire’s true feelings were drawn out.

She felt stressed by her husband’s control and didn’t want a divorce… but she couldn’t breathe like this.

‘That’s when Sumire realized what she really wanted: a convenient affair.’

Around this time, Sumire learned that ‘more and more women are expressing a desire to be restrained.’ Encouraged by her colleague and torn between guilt and curiosity, Sumire took a step into this unknown world.

There, a new world awaited her…

Sumire, who had been suffering from control, discovers a hidden sexuality through being bound.
