The Full-Time Wife Escapist, AKA NigeHaji is a work that isn't what it seems. The first 2 volumes focus on making the characters look shallow and unlikable. The main woman comes off as a whore and the 2 guys are basically having a content over which one of them can cuck themselves harder. After this, we are shown what they hide underneath their shells and what type of personalities do they actually carry.

The series focuses on 4 people. Young woman who is lost in life. Young man who is disappointed in women. Over 30 years-old man who has never been in a relationship, and a woman on her 50's who has remained virgin her whole life to a point where she can't have her own kids anymore.

The pairings in this series are decided very early on - and unlike almost every single other romance - the real story begins where others end. The main focus from this point on is within building a solid relationship and learning to live with eatch others as a couple, as two people.

The content offered is rarity. Subjects that are not present in almost any animanga nor even in other forms of entertainement. We get to see content such as two people studying the best way to comfort each others with the power of hugs.

Perhaps more accurate genre for NigeHaji would be "relationship" instead of "romance", but then again, it's not like many works such as NigeHaji exist. I will refer to it as an essential read for the fans of realistic romance.

I have just finished Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu. It’s great. It needs more than one read may be I will do that later. It criticizes the society indifferent many ways and aspects for example why id it a given that a house the woman’s responsibility? Marriage, economics, way of living.. etc. I like the side romance with the really huge age gap which I don’t usually like. It previews it realistically. It also takes the usual predictable turns in a whole different direction

The heroine is not typical and she’s great. She doesn’t jump into conclusion like other heroines. Instead she analyzes situations and uses her imagination to solve problem. She puts the psychology she studied in use but that doesn’t mean she’s not fixated on some problem of her own.



The story is different but I can recommend Toukyou Tarareba Musume with ease to you if you liked this or that. The heroines might be a bit annoying there but it’s for a purpose. As a female and someone who's interested in studying society I find these interesting and great even if I am from a totally different culture
