Firstly, the title is a joke. Even if not for Covid-19, getting into Tibet is damm near impossible.

This manga really delivers what it promised in its title: Blissful land (Tenju no Kuni). The atmosphere is very tranquil and peaceful with virtually no drama or stressful plot point. The lovely interactions between characters are very charming where they all have their own quirks and what not. The sparse but adorable romance scenes between the main couple are to die for, the fact that they are so spaced out made them even more special, though in normal chapters, when the main couple simply interacts you can also almost feel their adoration toward each other. This aspect was really well written.

The art style is quaint and beautiful where the Mangaka took straight inspirations from pre-occupied Tibet and I would have to say that the Mangaka did a terrific job in capturing the essence of their cultures and customs. The pretty dress and gorgeous landscape is a big big plus.

Finally, to the comment above me that keep comparing this Manga with A Bride's Story. Simply stop. The two aspects that both manga have in common are the arranged marriage theme and that they are in roughly the same time period (17th early modern era). They don't even share the same culture, language, traditions and heck they are not even in the same plateau. So of course it is going to be different.

Overall, I love this manga and its quaint, almost nostalgia-like feelings it induce. I 10/10 recommend this manga to anyone tired and in need of a wholesome escape. The only critique I have (jokingly) is that it's only 25 chapters long. So if the Mangaka is reading this comment; my family is very wealthy, I will sponsor your manga!!!

A sweet calming story. Not at the level of Otoyomegatari though to be fair not many can.

The series is about a 13 year old doctor in training, who has 1 day gotten a new bride. She and he are both living under 1 roof. and need to learn to cope with what is going to be there married life as they aren't officially married yet. Set in 18th century Tibet you have beautifully and incredibly well drawn culture of the Tibet people.

The manga is quite beautiful and i don't think i can really explain it any other way. Its quite similar to Otoyomegatari in terms of the theme and setting. The whole marriage concept and accepting new cultures and languages as well as moving to an entire different regions. Making new friends.

The MMC is that kind of boy that doesn't really care about girls. All he cares about is herbs and everyone knows this. I personally found this dynamic to be hilarious and heartwarming. As being an olden type of culture he has a big family. Everyone respects and loves the MMC but also understands that he's a freak when it comes to herbs and plants and shit.

The relationship between the FMC and MMC was actually quite good as well. Lots of blushing and cute moments. But i think it could've have worked better in the romance angle. Again i don't want to do this. But Otoyomegatari just did it better. I understand i shouldn't keep comparing a series to Otoyomegatari much less something that is as good as Otoyomegatari. To those who haven't read this series, It's like if i compared a battle shounen to One piece. But again Otoyomegatari did the whole understanding a new culture better and i think a lot of this related to the fact that we saw it from a girls perspective. In Blissful Land the MMC is more of a main character rather than the FMC and honestly i thought that was a bit determinatel.

Though we did see some of the Learning to accept new culture from the FMC's side its mostly the male lead that was taking the show. Who himself did have a lot of charm but i would've liked to see more on her side rather than his.

The FMC and MMC are both shy characters. Which in manga means that they are both chad-tier flirts. They say stuff that really embarrassing without realizing it and making each other blush. This happens not on many occasions so it has a good impact. Makes me giddy instead.

Like i said i did complain about the lack of physical intimacy between the main couple but to be fair they weren't wed yet, but maybe saying that i wanted some 1 to 1 action between two 13 year olds probably wouldn't work well either.

Anyway.

I enjoyed Blissful land. Its not winning any awards but the side characters are fun and exciting. No one is really an asshole, the parents are responsible and exist unlike many other shounen protagonists.

Overall its good. I liked it. Plays a lot of things well albeit i would have wanted more. 7/10
