Preliminary (14/? chp)
Let me start with something unconventional: This manga is started out as a hentai and got serialized later on as a regular manga. The only other manga I know of that started as a hentai is Ane Naru Mono. However, the hentai was wholesome, and this manga is even more wholesome.

With that out of the way, Kitsune no Oyome-chan is quite a regular slice of life manga. Episodic by nature, we follow the daily life of Oyome and her husband, who she refers to as "master". There is no general plotline, just their visits to a zoo, the beach, Oyome's parents, a school and festival and the like. Nothing irregular here. The archaic speech and manners of Oyome and the sweet interaction between her and her husband make this a relaxing manga more than most others.

It is clear that this is a kind of escapism like all the isekai manga that emerge nowadays, albeit in a completely different direction. There is no sense of danger, except that kitsune are afraid of dogs. Rather, this is more a "what if we didn't have cat girls, but kitsune living among us" and in my honest opinion, I cannot wait for the day that may truly happen in this world. However, for now we just have to make do with manga like these. Luckily, Oyome chan is portrayed really well. She is a lovely wife and has even found a job as a storyteller or history lecturer because of her age. It makes her feel better than burdening her husband's finances as a stay at home wife.
Speaking of which, the husband is pretty sweet and caring for Oyome, but a little bland. This might be from the fact that this manga originated as a hentai. Also, a bland character ensures more focus on those the story is based on, if done correctly. And he succeeds quite well in that aspect. He has more than simple lines to say and he has saved Oyome in more ways than one. It is evident that both of them love each other and they show their affection on several occasions.

As of now, there are only 7 chapters translated, but as soon as the scanlations pick up, this might become almost as popular as the similar manga Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko san. It has potential and it only needs to garner a little bit of attention and enough chapters to earn an anime adaptation.

So if you like sweet manga, want to know how it is to live with a kitsune or just have a lovable wife, I highly recommend reading this.

And for those curious ones, here are the magic numbers: 123827. There are only three pages containing nudity.
