Are Atsuko Maeda & Ryo Katsuji Calling Off Their Divorce?

Earlier this week, Arama! Japan translated both the Shukan Bunshun article detailing the main motivations behind the divorce of Atsuko Maeda and Ryo Katsuji, and the Josei Seven article about the domestic violence incident behind herleg injury in 2019. The drama continues to unfold! 

Even though they have entered into divorce talks with their lawyers, apparently the couple is extremely open to reconciliation. Tokyo Sports reported that talks have hit a crossroads as Atsuko wants to continue their marriage in spite of everything for their child, and Ryo has insisted on visitation rights – which Atsuko has refused if they do go through with the divorce. Observers have suggested that given neither side has cheated the chances of reconciliation are quite high.
