wakaresaseya definition:
-
"Except for the momentary wistfulness, it was all
in a day's work for the wakaresaseya - a term that translates
loosely as "the breaker-upper" or "the separator." Operating as an unusual
offshoot of the detective business, he will - for the right price - end
an affair, destroy a marriage, or break off an engagement. Parents who
don't like the person their child is dating, spouses who tire of marriage,
or lovers who want to best a rival are all potential clients."

- "Calling
in the Split Man: Japan's wakaresaseya will - for a price
- end an affair, break off an engagement, or help a company fire someone.
Their appeal is avoiding conflict in a society that prizes harmony."
