First two or three chapters were alright. Then it went down in the dumps once the mangaka decided to make the girl an idiot. The recent chapters are especially painful and rather degrading to women in general.

This manga is definitely hot stuff. Lots of sexual tension and sweet romantic moments. The male lead, Hokuto, is actually pretty cute (personality wise). Plus, he's sexy as hell. The relationship between the two main characters is really great in this manga. Hokuto is really sweet to Chiwa. I don't know if he's really in love with her yet, but he sure is displaying all the traits of a man in love. There's lots of chemistry and lots of laughable moments. You'll have a great time reading this.

Main characters are so annoying that I can't stand it. Every chapter Chiwa would always be annoying and childish in every way. She would complain in every small things. Even Hokuto is so controlling at first. Plot is so cliché.

Remember reading this while I was in school. And and I still enjoy this series. The girl is a bit Cliché and makes mistakes when it comes to her husband and even sometimes the husbands in the wrong but she becomes a better character and makes amends. There’s a lot of flaws in the story but to me not everything’s gonna be perfect. The only thing I had an issue with was her husband’s pass when it came to his mother. They made a live action of this and I believe that that was executed better. However the story was worse than this. But I still enjoy the series.

I have a couple acquaintances that are just like her, and it gets so annoying to hear about their troubled love lives because it is SO COMPLETELY SELF-INFLICTED. She's an adult, yet for the life of her can't figure out a finalized decision nor be an effective communicator. This character never gets better either, so.... no thanks.

Also, using sexual assault to spice up a story isn't original; it's cheap as heck. And that is just one of the many points of horrible writing.. The glorification/glossing over rape isn't cool, author-san. Never was, hopefully never will be.

so this isn't necessarily bad but i wound not call it good either. the smut is not that great. their sex life seems not great but i guess that is kinda realistic for a couple who were forced into a marriage together and one of them is a virgin. I mean things are bound to be a little awkward. I agree with most people on here who are saying that this should not be labeled as a josei manga. The writing and characters are childish. Its like two 13 year olds got together and were like "hey we should make our role play into a manga!" someone is always yelling or crying. it all seems very unnecessary. I honestly don't know why they are together and I don't think it is a very good representation of love. my last negative comment on the subject is that the manga went on far longer than it needed to. I love a long manga but the plot really felt like it could have all been condensed into maybe 3 volumes and have been just as good. possibly better. now on the bright side I enjoyed the art style. If the story didn't seem like it was done professionally at least the art did. The characters did have some redeemable moments that made me feel for them a bit. I really enjoyed some of the side characters who make brief appearances . the smut might not be the best but the art in said smut moments is really good. I feel the artist had a good grasp on the human body that you don't see as much in a lot of smut. I know it doesn't seem like I have a lot of good things to say about this manga but it really wasn't too bad. it was a waste of my time but I didn't come away from it with a bad feeling which is more than I can say for several mangas. it was just mediocre really. read it if you would like but don't have high hopes for it.

It was entertaining, an easy read as well. I liked the manga...the female protagonist, I wish she would be a stronger woman. I was surprised by the male protagonists
'S sharing of feelings. I don't see it usually in many manga. I'm still not sure about some of his character traits and actions.

I had my doubts about this manga and even after reading it there were some things I just didn't like, but, overall, I think it was really good.

My list of dislikes is short: I think the story was repetitive with somethings--they argued about the same thing so many times, but I suppose a real marriage would be similar.

And Chiwa's constant crying about EVERYTHING. I don't remember a chapter where she wasn't tearing up. In the beginning I thought Chiwa would be a badass that didn't take crap from anyone, but the moments where Chiwa actually reverted back to that girl that threw a drink on Hokuto were few and far between. The rest is filled with fights, running away, and then making up.

But I guess that kept it interesting. I liked everything else: From the drama within the Mamiya family, to Hokuto's past, I actually like that he works so much and I can't understand how Chiwa can be so sensitive about that. He's a freaking president of a company! He can't entertain her everyday! I like the exs although I feel like Chiwa had way too many admirers and she didn't feel like it was a big deal, but she just wants to roll in a ball and die when she finds out Hokuto had an ex-girlfriend.

I like how everything was wrapped up, although I wish I could have seen an extra of life after the baby. I can't even imagine what that would be like.

A few minor annoyances that were usually resolved by the end of the chapter and sometimes the characters became a little annoying at which point they deserved a good slap. There were moments I laughed, cried, screamed and said "That's it, I'm done with this," just to go on reading it again.

Overall, it was a really good read, I read it all in one sitting(with breaks to stop myself from throwing my computer)and I'm sure I'll revisit this story in the future.
