I'm surprised that this manga has no reviews because it's really heartwarming and funny.
We got a healthy relationship between a mature and understanding man and a straightforward and strong willed woman.
The art is good enough.
Overall I totally recommend it if you want a short cute romance between two adults.

I guess I have to write some more because mal won't allow this so ... yeaaaaaaaaaah


why mal why
I mean I totally love this manga, but I'm really tired so pretty please accept my ducking review.
...
so still not enough, who has the time to read long reviews ? I personally only read the scores and the final paragraph(if I read any)
So once again totally recommend it cute cute cute

I was really surprised with this manga.I read this blindly because there are almost no review. I was looking for fake marriage plot so I immediately read it. Given that this manga is so short, the author made me believe in the ridiculousness of the premise of the story.

This is about Haruhi, a 22-year old heavy equipment operator. She went to a bar, got drunk, and woke up with a husband. The said husband, Nagato Sunohara, was also drunk when he agreed to the marriage. He was twenty years older. I like age gaps but not really large age gaps so I was ... a little bit apprehensive about continuing because I don't want to read a smut romance about opportunistic grandpas and young women. Lol was I wrong.

First off, Sunohara is really good-looking. The art is fantastic! And then the way he approached the relationship, it was respectful, kind, and really mature. I unexpectedly fell for him, damn. I was most surprised with Haruhi. Age gaps mangas usually portray the lead female as needy, whiny, and weak. But not Haruhi. In order for their marriage and their personal agenda to work, she supported Sunohara while he was still unemployed.

The dynamic between them is so so so goood. There were a lot of avenues for misunderstanding but because both characters are mature and level-headed, they talk it out before passing judgement. (Unlike a LOT of mangas I know). Sunohara is so caring and also hilariously honest, but sometimes can get your heart racing like hell 'cause he's hawt.

The occupations of the characters are also unique. A construction worker and a calligrapher? Very interesting. First time seeing this combination.

Overall, this is a short and surprising read. Love it!

It's was quite enjoyable if you ask me! Before starting the manga, I had checked for its reviews...and some people were complaining about its romance, that "The romance was too rushed for our taste, blah blah blah...!". In reply to those commentators, I'll just say that when both parties are mature and understanding enough, romance is never rushed...it is neither too early nor too late...romance is just, you know, ROMANCE! (Some may not agree with it, doesn't matter!)

About age-gap...Umm! Age-gap was too wide, that I can agree with many readers out there. However, how can I judge the story just becuase of their age-gap is ... "too wide", when in reality they have the most beautiful and unseen understanding and respect for each other! This type of mutual understanding and respect between couples is almost extinguished now-a-days!

All n all, this is a great manga which you'll never regret turning to read in your life!

I'd like to point out that, despite the fact that our female protagonist, Haruhi, is a clown for drunkenly pushing a man to marry her simply because she doesn't want to return to run her father's company, she chose a very fascinating sliver fox. Basically mr sliver fox himself, Sunohara is a calligrapher and is 10 years older than her (she’s 22 basically). She on the other hand, is a machine operator working in the construction sector. I liked the fact both the characters occupations are uniquely different cause I hardly ever see those jobs roles being mentioned in manga!

I also liked how simplistic ... and lovely it is for both the characters to get to know one another. That’s regardless if they married at first sight like yeah, it’s a odd way to sign marriage papers at a pub but hey, anything can happen anywhere I guess! Also I hated that guy that fancied Haruhi, read to find out why....

If you want a cute story to check out, this one is definitely one for you all to see!

When I first started reading this manga, I was a bit worried that the plot would be too convoluted and/or unbelievable, given the fact that it begins with two people getting drunkenly married under rather unrealistic circumstances. However, I was pleasantly surrpised by how much I enjoyed this manga.

The thing I was most wary of was the age gap since I find that large age gaps like this often breed unhealthy power dynamics. However, Sunohara and Haruhi have such easy chemistry and their love blooms so naturally. Rather than one of them weilding more power than the other, the two uplift each other while ... learning and growing as a couple.

I was also concerned about the possibility of over-the-top drama, but all of the issues that the couple face are handled with maturity and communication. Despite the challenges that are thrown their way, they work through it all together and grow stronger as a couple.

Not to mention that the art is beautiful! If you're looking for something simple and sweet, this is a great pick. So cute and wholesome!

Kinds of trope are somehow my favorite of all, like imagine just randomly meeting a stranger and marrying them without even kniwing how they are.(though if its in real life really not for me)

Everything is just perfect. The way they understand each other and all is really something to be envious of. The healthy relationship the have is just everything.

And the way also just look at each other is really something to be jealous of.
>_<

Overall this has become of my fave manga.

Hopefully I get to see more like this. Its a plus cause their kid is so cute hjjvjdv. I have been waiting for ... that one heeh. Plus her dad is kinda really relatable especially thats how my dad can be sometiimes.

a super sweet, lighthearted, and worthwhile read.

the age gap was definitely a little much, but i thought that the story handled it well. haruhi, the female lead, is easily one of my favorites and quite different from what is typically expected of the main girl in a romance manga. she is a heavy machine operator for a construction company, a total slob, a bit of a perv, but overall very mature and very determined.

as a couple, these two work incredibly well together. there is so much communication that typical misunderstandings are not a problem, making the development of their relationship smooth and heartfelt. ... the male lead is open about his feelings and clearly values haruhi and his relationship with her very much.

this is a great pick if you’re looking for something fun, high-spirited, and easygoing— but still included all the cheesy goodness of romance.

Honestly it's a great manga, it's kinda like a shoujo, it has romance, drama, funny moments..

It talks about a 22 y/o girl that get's a fake marriage with a man much older than her but slowly does actually fall for him and so then it's just teir lives as a couple with such age gap. (troubles being accepted by the father...)

Overall it's a great manga, nice art and great plot, it's sad that it doesn't have many reviews. I liked it personally since the characters are not plain and do actions with nonesense but have their own backstory on how they act (most of them).

Definetly ... recommend giving it a try.

I'm not very good at making reviews so ig hope it helps.

This is such an underrated manga and I'm so glad I stumbled upon it. There are so many things to unpack.


The plot is unique and there is a clear goal in the beginning. Now obviously the reader is probably going to know who Haruhi ends up with from the start especially with the couple's love being so strong throughout the story. Their misunderstandings are easily cleared up which caused a few of the conflicts to seem less impactful because there was no doubt in the couple's love. However, that also gave the story a breath of fresh air and it stops those conflicts from dragging ... on too long.

The art is pretty good and there's a good combination of blank backgrounds and detailed ones. It's expressive, entertaining, and the body proportions stay relatively consistent.

Characters are unique and aren't teenagers but actual adults working towards a common goal. While they may be childish at times, it's nice to see different settings rather than a school all the time. The female lead is very lively and relatable with her flaws while the male lead is perfect in every way except for his age and employment status. Getting used to his age was definitely a struggle, especially considering he was almost the same age as her father :/ but you get used to it as they treat each other with respect and as equals.

I like that the rivals aren't actually bad people and find a way to move on even if they were annoying at first (***Spoiler + rant*** I didn't really like the unexplained relationship between Haruhi's roommate and childhood friend. It felt unnecessary and undeveloped with literally no reason to get together. But I got over it.)

It was an enjoyable story that made me feel bubbly inside. It's a short but sweet slice-of-life journey that brought unique characters dealing with unconventional problems while at the same time mostly avoiding a lot of the cliches in an interesting and cute manner.
