Read it in one go. I don't regret it one bit.

 

A really nice feel-good story. No pointless drama and no cheating. Just two adorable dorks learning to tame each other. Even the secondary characters are quirky and funny.

 

In the end, I'm not persuaded the marriage was even necessary. It's a nice conclusion, but a bit formulaic. I would have liked if the author had really taken the route of "marriage doesn't change anything, so why spend money on it?"

I think them getting married makes sense especially considering the beginning, and it didn't have to be super extravagant, it'd be one of the small indulgances they take besides relaxing and ejoying each other. I think it works nicely

Whenever real life gets me down, Bonnouji is always there to give me hope! Truly the epitome of seinen manga.

And whenever it get up to get something done I remember my life again and feel even worse 

But bloody good manga

You just know that any kids of theirs would be constantly embarrassed by their lovey-dovey antics.

I need more stuff like this to fill out the hollow shell that is my life. Or at least the love aspects of it.

The Engish translation is absolutely balls.
 
They just downright made shit up in some areas. I don't even think these can be considered translation "errors", they literally made shit up in some parts.


Genuinely curious as I can't read a lick of Japanese, can you give some examples?

I just want to say to the author. "Thank you for being born, you make proud of being an otaku"

That mislabeled french release gave me a good excuse to read the whole thing again.

Still as good as the first time I read it.

Huh why is the release in French even though listed as English?

It was good the whole way through but time passed very quickly... In the end, I'm not sure how old she was but I'm pretty sure she was getting on too old to have kids. So even though it's cute, the end is a little bit sad in a way too.

Judging from the information the manga has, she's 32 or 33 by the end of the manga so she's not getting too old to have kids.

Fantastic read! One of those mangas that brighten your day after a sad one like Yotsuba! If only this had an anime...

So I'm rereading this because its awesome and I just noticed...

Does Oyamada have a Body-Pillow of Himself in the Coffin?

Oyamada's a top-tier husband material.

Thanks for the series! Enjoyed it a lot!
