This volume was even better reading it the second time! So excited to finally read this whole series. I had started it when it first came out in 2016 and never completed it.
In this story we're following two adults, Asuka (wants to get married), and Ryo (Never wants to get married), and the story of how they fall in love. I love it! It talks about marriage and love in ways that mirror my own opinions on the topic.
Asuka is independent and wants to be a housewife. Whereas, Ryo thinks there's more to a relationship than just marriage. He cares about the emotional part of a relationship. I'm sure Asuka does, too, but that's why he doesn't care about getting married. I can relate to him in some ways.
This series is just so cute and well handled. I highly recommend it!

Josei books tend to be a hit or miss for me, but I’m always hopeful. This one turned out surprising in how much I enjoyed it.
Asuka is a successful business woman, but all she wants is to get married and be a homemaker. It’s her dream, but most people don’t understand that anymore. Ryu, on the other hand, doesn’t want to be in a relationship, he in fact never wants to get married.
We get both perspectives here, and I like how understanding both of them are. Ryu isn’t some domineering alpha, he’s genuinely a nice guy and a hard worker, and even though he wants the opposite of Asuka, he never puts down her wants and even understands her dreams.
They’re both very likeable characters, and it’s clear that their friendship forms fast and honest. They have a nice first meeting, and then keep running into each other. They have nice meetings afterward, they defend each other even when they have disagreements, and they keep going back to hang out.
Much like their friends, in the same position as them and just starting to date, they decide to give it a try. There’s no over exaggerating at the littlest touch, and it’s sweet when they do kiss.
I was really impressed with this volume, it was relatable and enjoyable. I’m really looking forward to the next one.

I struggle with it when people who know their goals are incompatible get together regardless and that was the impression I carried into this first volume but I actually enjoyed it. The characters are likable individually although their choices in the romantic relationship area are still questionable. I’m however really curious to see how the mangaka spins their stories.
Also, does anyone else see the mangaka’s name and automatically think of Nanami Momozono from Kamisama Kiss?! Just me?!

Despite the really ugly cover, this manga has beautiful artwork.
It's about a successful broker who wants to become a housewife, which is a first for me in the romance genre.
I liked this, but I felt the last chapter was really rushed.
