Many thanks to the scanlator for their work and for sharing this translation with us!

If I may make one small suggestion; page 16's text isn't anti-aliased properly, and as a result is a little troublesome to read. Should you decide to fix this, we'll be happy to update the version on the site as well.

I'll be honest here, for the life of me I can't see the yuri in this one. It's fun to read and all, but neither of them seem the least bit attracted to each other. Or any other girl for that matter.

What am I missing here?

There is normal airhead.
And then there is This Woman.

Sometimes yuri really is just about gals being pals.

Besides, the daughter's confused feelings seem to hint that she was hoping for more.

Just like us.

Well, sorry to say this, but that was such a waste of time to read. Also should consider take out the yuri tag. Thanks.

We need a step up from 'airhead'. I suggest 'vacuum head' or 'black hole brain'd' :-)

This was cute, there's some sort of undercurrent of yuri going on, it would make a nice series, I think.

The name of the author is Ohsawa Yayoi.

Dunno about you, but, as far as I am concerned, that's all that matters.

I applause her patient because I would've hit that girl in the face and I would've sleep in the couch in such situation ... Becuase you know, comedy like this only works when the airhead has those sporadic nice moments but beyond the attempt to make a dinner (and failing horribly) she had none.

SHE EVEN TRIED TO HAVE SEX WITH SOMEONE WHILE BEING MARRIED! A MINOR ON TOP! AND HER FAMILY and then she goes a says "Marriage isn't that simple" lol **** you D: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi1DahW2R2k

Best to be blunt if a marriage not working instead of taking it back and apologize.

Somehow the aunt put me off so bad by the end that I damn near bit my tongue off. That being said, great art as always and lots of intriguing ideas and potential for a series.

When I see the Nice boat tag I get some very different flashbacks. Guess this site uses that tag a bit differently.

Well, the author seems to think there is.

Could've been so much more, though...

On the index page in the first chapter, this chapter is called "My Next-door Bride", which certainly conjures different ideas than what ended up being the actual story. Still though, this is fine too I enjoyed it!

The titular story of the collection is probably my favorite of the bunch though, all things considered.

Thank you very much for pointing that out. I've gone and re-uploaded it to Mangadex. Hopefully that's the only necessary fix!

I debated on whether I should go with the previously translated title but decided that it wasn't exactly accurate. The original title FYI is "Tonari no Yome." (Much like "Tonari no Totoro," although "My Neighbor Wife" or "My Neighbor Bride" doesn't sound too great, haha!)

Nezchan, did you read the afterword? The author explains it like this:

Also, there were two occasions where it looked like Hisaka was coming on to Maki. (The 2nd one on Maki's bed, at night, and whether something happened or not is left to our imagination...)

Btw good for you peeps that you got a chance to use the 'Nice boat' tag again! I think it's been like ten years since the last time, lol.

Yup, I figured it would be something like this. Thanks for the confirmation!

I'd want the full Wikipedia page on that, thanks.

EDIT:

I'm just gonna assume that the nice ship in question is going throught lake Gatun.

This went way past the useless territory. It's been a while since a character in a yuri story pissed me off this much. There is dumb, and then there is plain oblivious. Curse my brain for thinking too much on this. So the wife forgot husband's business trip, also somehow missed the bit where the husband was packing for a 3 months business trip. Did she literally sleep her entire life away and just not retain any useful information? The husband/wife relationship is also stupidly shakey judging by her behavior in the chapter. Unless plot twist, the husband's nearly as space brained as the wife. In that case, match made in black hole I guess.

And gosh darn it, I expected some form of romantic or yandere shenanigans involving boat or kitchen utensils. There was no payoff whatsoever. The panel with the boat is more rewarding than the lackluster space cadet end. Pretty weak way to end the one-shot collection I have to say. The other one-shots are pretty great though.
