Half of volume 8 hasn't been translated (10-2019). Don't change the status until someone translates the missing chapters.

you can't be so unfair

It is impossible not to compare the anime to the manga, and we all are being unfair when we do so...
All of the makers of the anime simply caught the essence of the manga completely, and then animated it. They basically didn't do anything that wasn't done in the manga, it is just that gags are SOOOOOOOO much better when animated

Anime was just so freaking funny that it simply set another standard for me (i'm chuckling remembering it right now xD)
But i would clearly recommend the manga because not all was covered by the anime ...just try to imagine how it would look if you were animating the scenes 😉

The anime is better

by KLGChaos

Rating: N/A

If you have to check this manga out, it's much better to go with the anime. The manga basically has one thing going for it-- abuse of the male character (and his dad) with no character development. After the first couple of chapters, it gets old. Really old. The anime tones down the abuse (though sadly, there's still quite a bit there), but overall, the comedy is better in motion and it has an epic ending not found in the manga with actual development.

You'll most likely find it quite funny at first, as I did, but several chapters in, you'll just be face-palming every chapter as you wait for the lead to catch a break.

A manga not as good as the anime

by SBX

Rating: 8.8 / 10.0

I may be in the minority here, but oftentimes I prefer the manga to the anime. Seto no Hanayome (hereafter SnH) is an exception to this rule. Perhaps because I discovered the anime first and was spoiled by the infamous "Hohohoho" laugh, but I didn't / haven't gotten the same kind of enjoyment out of the manga.

It's a general harem series, but it's easy to read, and not verging on embarrassing like To-Love-Ru and He Is My Master (is that still on hiatus?). The love "polygon" is pretty clear, and anything that tries to disrupt the axis seems rather forced.

That being said, it's still a good series (an 8.7 isn't particularly shabby), and any moment in which Lunar's father appears is of course priceless. I would mostly recommend the series to those who haven't already seen the cartoon - or they're going to be quite disappointed.

ze anime was better

I read this after watching the anime series, and I must say, the animated version is far superior. However, that's not to say that the manga is not worth reading. I'm not a huge fan of the harem genre, but they tend to be quite hilarious, and this one, especially so. I like the idea behind the story; its one that I've never encountered before, and its certainly something that I wouldn't have been able to come up with; +points for being creative.

Other users have commented that there are a lot of 'wacky' situations, but that is what gives this series a unique charm. This is quite possibly the most hilarious series I have ever read; the only other competitor would be..."Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoiyo! Masaru-san" (which I highly recommend). The difference between "Seto..." and "Sexy Commando..." is that the former focuses purely on nonsense. Seto no Hanayome is a mix of elements, with a love triangle, school life, and a heavy dose of comedy.

I agree that things start to slow down and become a more typical 'love-triangle shounen manga' (hence, points off), and things can get a bit bumpy, but it was not enough to prevent me from completing the series. As is typical of the harem genre, some rather irritating characters appear later on, one of which I continued to dislike throughout the series, but most of the characters had something to contribute to the story and the lulz.

If you're looking for lulz, and this series doesn't seem to cut it for you....you might just have a problem.

yep2 why would a manga get to vol14+ if it wasn't good~
and if people even get to badmouth this then i'd badmouth "My name is Zushio" what the heck is w/ that manga its too overly done, only vol4 was good enough~

How people can talk bad about something so popular that gets to vol 14+... and compare it to some early work from the same mangaka that only got to vol 4... If you dont like it fine... there are colors for every taste. Just dont make it seem like a waste just because u dont like it.

Too chaotic....

by flowerzan

Rating: N/A

The story had potential. I really thought it was a good manga to read but it became too repetitive and irritating. The chaos presented at the beginning of the story dragged over and over again that it was no longer humorous, it became annoying.
