3.5 stars.

Some of the interactions are a bit awkward, but it seemed to be hitting it's stride by the end. I'll be reading the next volume.

That was cute - this follows some of the typical shojo Manga romance tropes with the naive heroine and rich hero.

However I kind of liked this more than typical because our hero is not excessively rude. He is a bit of a slob and naive too. He is definitely taking the marriage more seriously than our heroine.

Typically the guy is super competent and I can never tell why he would be into the heroine. Here I get it and I appreciated the fact that he is giving her space.

For that I am giving it 4 stars. Interested to see the other volumes in the series

So it turns out my library has the entire collection of these manga - I guess I know my next time killer project

I loved this!

First it's a josei, so I didn't really want to read it, plus it's about marriage. Even if I'm old enough, I don't exactly want to read about marriage. But I read it anyway, because I was bored, and it sounded good. Turns out, I was pleasantly surprised!

This is not just josei, but also a little bit of shoujo as well, dealing with shoujo themes. It's also fun and enjoyable, and I love the scenes where she works out heaps, not for husband but to show off to the ex-boyfriend who'll be at her friends wedding. It's funny because her ex was no longer dating that girl, that girl was happily married and pregnant, and her ex tries to get into bed with her when...dan dan dannnn!!! Her husband shows up, sending everyone aflutter with his handsomeness. It's great!

I think both characters are great characters on their own. And through a heap of misunderstandings, and understandings, they find a way to deal with each other, and eventually truly fall in love. Very cute!

I didn't know what to think when going into this, but I must say that it's actually pretty good. I like the mc, and sympathize with her a lot. I really want to see what the future hold for her.
