More gentle developments in the relationship of two women in a lopsided marriage of convenience. That one of those "gentle developments" is their first fight might seem contradictory, but this series is just that mild. But the sheer amount of blushing also makes it rather adorable.

June 16, 2024We got married because Kurumi-san said she wanted to give it a try— But now, the more time I spend as her wife, the more desperately I want to hold on to our marriage.
This is going to be a slow burn, I see. Not complaining, just making me wish all of the volumes were translated and published already so I could binge read them.
Cute, of course. More on communication and working as a family. Makes me hungry for affection, a relationship (even if non romantic) and food… so much food.

Ruriko and Kurumi face down a depressing visit with Ruriko’s parents, then deal with Ruriko’s commitment to routine. But when a rogue weather report proves unfortunately relevant, they’re going to have to figure out their way forward together, if there is one.
Ah, there’s something nice about a laid-back yuri that isn’t going at its story beats too hard and is mostly showing how delightfully perfect our leads are together. Even the drama this volume feels soft, although it’s no less impactful for that.
Ruriko’s parents are of the sort that have passive-aggressive down to a fine art and they clearly don’t mean to be so harsh to their daughter, but it’s not hard to understand Ruriko’s feelings when they up and announce they’re getting a dog because they won’t be getting any grandkids.
While the story just went and made same-sex marriage legal in Japan as its starting point, it doesn’t make everything sunshine and roses, case in point. There’s a little light fleshing out of the background details over how few same sex couples the country even has, which was a nice touch.
From there things move to a more awkward plotline, as Kurumi wants to help ease Ruriko’s burden at home, but doing so would remove some of the time they spend together. As sometimes happens, this all blows up into an argument partially about money, but really about how serious or not Kurumi is about the relationship.
The way this gets sorted out is, blessedly, through good old fashioned communication and respect for one another and the establishment of some scheduled bonding time, which immediately pays off thereafter.
It’s pretty funny how quickly the date night starts to accelerate things. Ruriko is absolutely thrilled to have more time with her partner, and her actions are quickly causing Kurumi’s own feelings to escalate.
No, this isn’t the most shockingly brilliant yuri title ever, but it’s such a sweet little title about two people figuring out their lives together and how to love one another. I’m a massive fan of any story that shows you can write a couple and still make it interesting and this is great at that.
4 stars - light and breezy, yet with a slightly serious side at a couple of points, this is a really wholesome slice of life with two different, yet equally interesting, people who care for one another deeply.

WHY IS EVERYONE IN THIS STORY SO KIND? I want to live in that world, where you can just say "oh us, two straight-passing young women? We're newlyweds" and people will just immediately be happy for you and congratulate you. Where you can rant about couple arguments and no one will say ignorant things like "but you're both women though" and put queer relationships on strange pedestals.
Currently an adorable slice of life story with a platonic pair of best friends marrying out of convenience... except one of them is pining so much it is hurting me, and the other one might be catching feelings. Will they (very slowly) develop as a sapphic asexual couple? Or something else?

I just love how both Kurumi and Ruriko are slowly evolving, how their relationship is realistic and so gentle.
I live for the food pages 😂😭🫠 I want to try out everything!

Honestly based on this scale I should give this series a 2 instead of a 3 but I feel bad about tanking a books review. I mean it is enjoyable but it's just so...innocent is the word that comes to mind. I mean the concept is they were friends who got married so they are falling in love as they are married. At the same time I am reading this as someone who IS married and frankly I feel the physical part of a relationship is essential in a good marriage for helping show love for one another. Here though, a hug out of nowhere is treated as earthshattering which just shows how innocent this series is overall. I wouldn't mind reading more but its not a number one priority.

I’m starting to grow an affection for the two here. They’re growing a clear bond together and it’s happening naturally. Their friendship is becoming romantic step-by-step in a believable way, but having them be friends first means that they’ve gone thru all of the stages of learning what a relationship is before the romance happens. There’s far more dynamics at play besides attraction. This is also a breezy read and I got thru it quickly. I’m still not super invested in this story to the point where I have to know what happens next, but it’s a series I’ll definitely keep up with in between other things to see how their relationship works out or doesn’t.

4.5 stars. This series is absolutely lovely. So adorable. Kurimo and Ruriko have a disagreement but I loved how they handled it. They just want to spend more time with each other which is precious. They bond and go on dates and I just couldn’t stop smiling. I love these characters and how their relationship is developing. Can’t wait for the next volume!

So cozy and sweet! I love how things are absolutely adorable and stay adorable. In a lot of other stories, the plot tends to take a turn for the shock, but this is one of the few times where the story just keeps the cuteness going. This manga is truly like a warm hug.

I loved the series Doughnuts Under the Crescent Moon by this author. I think this series is cute, and I love reading about their life together.
I wish this was more than 4 volumes. Kinda makes me think in different life maybe a friend and I would do this. XD

I'm enjoying this relaxing look at Ruriko and Kurumi's married life, from helping each other during deadlines and discussing chores. I'm not sure if it will become romance, but I'm happy either way - like Doughnuts, this is a peaceful, pleasant read about a not-quite-usual relationship.

“So just keep being your beautiful self.”
So sweet and tender. As their relationship evolves, so does my love for them! They need to be actually together soon.

雨水汐さん excels in portraying characters' facial expressions. The manga reads as smoothly as an anime.
