Ok, I don't like this story that much. It's way too similar to Hachi's previous work " Legally Married Yuri Couple Book". It's nice that same-sex marriage is allowed in this country. But why arranged marriage again? It's feels so forced to me. Why they refer to themself as husband and wife? I know It's just a word but still. Why this feels more like partnership than love? Maybe the story will get better in the future but for now it looks like another borring moe manga.

AHH! Another update!!

h3x, yeah Hachi likes the slow build, but with cohabitation and a somewhat mutual starting point for both people, relationship-wise (meaning no real unrequited-and-then-requited-love stuff).

I can totally get that some would find it repetitive and boring, but I really love this kind of stuff, and not just for the art. While it might be repetitive by one artist, these kinds of stories are still quite rare.

The "husband and wife" thing is a hangup a lot of Japanese yuri artists have. If you read science babies stuff, it's the same with "mamma and pappa" :/

Arranged marriage may be a problem because they don't know each other, but in the case of yuri stuff, well, no problem at all. Still even though Senri and Chiru got married, they need some kind of " progression" (I don't know what it is). Things will be found out in next chapter.

I do agree that it's very similar, but I disagree in the whole "it feels so forced" thing. They refer to themselves as husband and wife, since that's what is commonly used and some people don't mind using a male term. This seems like love for sure (at least in my opinion) because even though they met 7 years ago, they still remembered each other well. Some arranged marriages do make people fall in love you know? Love isn't just about lust, jealousy and longing, it can also be caring for that person deeply, wanting to make them happy and willing to make sacrifices (even as small as waking up at 5 AM to do her hair) for your lover. And yeah I think it's pretty much gonna moe but I find it quite adorable.

They are selling to a Japanese audience, where until extremely recently it was as much a fantasy as people with fox ears.

Itou Hachi's works cute as always but this time even the comedy is improved. I just want to see more and more from this wonderful artist.

Gotta be honest here, I find Senri to be an EXTREMELY flat, cool, and humorless character. I'm hoping Chiru gets together with Kayo, though I know that wouldn't be Itou Hachi's style.

Idk how to describe the timezones thing, but the 3rd chapter should be out in 18 hours, on Yuriism, according to their Trello

In the latest raw chapter, it seems that Senri was angry at Chiru. I didn't know what she said. That means Senri can't overcome her trauma about her father's accident, but she has a strong-hearted wife like Chiru.

This whole series borders on that.

I really like all of Itou Hachi's other works, but this one feels all out of balance. The young wife seems to be completely without utility in every respect. She's not good with helping out. She's not the object of any romantic or amorous feelings. The older wife seems to be patient and amused with the younger wife, despite that the younger wife seems to only make the older wife's life harder, and seems happy enough to let the younger wife just hang around the house all day, but that doesn't put the younger wife in any higher station than a typical household pet. The only redeeming quality the younger wife seems to bring to the mix is that she comes with a very competent servant . . . or should I say "keeper"?

If the younger wife is meant to be the protagonist, she should have some quality that makes we, the readers, identify with her struggles and conflicts. But I'm not feeling any sort of empathy for her--merely pity.
