A way too short cute slice of life manga that may leave you smiling.

Nobuo is a salaryman, whose wife is an alien that makes life interesting to him. Each chapter was short but had a lot of cute moments in every single one of them. Nobuo eventually becomes the father of a half alien child that develops power that may be more powerful than everyone else in the manga.

The art is cute, even when the wife was nude it didn't feel sexual at all. The men in the manga compliment the cute style of the women. They appear harder and at times are ... the straight men in this comedy.

tl;dr: A short series of light semi-amusing stories about a man married to an alien. 

This is a short manga with really short episodes, like 8-10 pages, that look into various things that happen to the strange couple. Some are purely humorous and some involve a bit more plot, but overall, they're pretty simplistic and light. In terms of comedy, I thought it was okay, but not that great. The humor mostly arose from how bizarre things were, but overall, I didn't find it all that funny. In terms of sweet moments, once again, it was decent, and the relationship between the two is solid enough, but I didn't find many moments that were that heartwarming. ... Just kind of comfy. There were some simple overarching messages about accepting others, not discriminating, and liking people for who they are, but they were very much on the light side and mostly just showed up at the end. There wasn't that much of a story so the ending didn't feel that important, but it was fine. The art was weird, in that style wise it was decent, but everything looked pretty strange design wise, which certainly fits with the alien focus, but that doesn't make it any more enjoyable to look at. 

This is a very short but cute slice of life comedy with a twist that the wife is a non-human looking alien and needs to disguise her appearance to fit into human society. The humor here is fairly straight forward and light, very much like a normal sit-com and while this series has been called "ecchi" I find that really other than a couple of shots of nudity, there really isn't anything "ecchi" about it (I, for one, don't consider just minor nudity to be perverted or dirty).

"Yome ga Kore na mon de" is a quick read that uses some hoary old tropes and plots, ... but manages to pull them off with a bit of sentimental sweetness.
