Down-to-earth take on romance

A really sweet story about soft, slowly blooming love between two people who thought that kind of happiness was out of their reach. Their antics early on are super funny as they adjust to cohabitation after their contract marriage. This one definitely hits the spot for fellow introverts or anyone else who's had enough of social politics and the dating game.

Sooo friggin cute!!

I love how this story is progressing, and I really like that this is not your typical find love while in a contract marriage story...I mean that is what they're doing, but the characters' personalities are what makes the story stand out to me. Aww they were bout to--Keep pressing forward guys 💪 Please dont turn this into a drama 🙏🙏🙏

Heartwarming

Highly recommended. This was a beautiful relationship to watch bloom. Non traditional, heart aching and heart warming simutaneously.

A romance for realists

Although it may not make much sense outside of Japan, it’s still a relatable story for anyone who is an introvert or feels generally luckless when it comes to relationships. The characters are awkward and endearing and there are some twists to make you want to see what happens and keep reading.

最後のシーン好き

I like the last scene

夫婦のあり方や仕事、結婚観など難しいテーマだけど、この二人ならこう解決しました！的な内容で、好感持って読みました。最後のシーンは、題名にプラスされた言葉に感動して、幸せ実感してよかったです。

It's a difficult subject, such as the way couples work, and views on marriage, etc., but these two solved it this way! The content was like that, and I read it with a good feeling. In the final scene, I was moved by the words added to the title, and I'm glad I felt happy.

夫婦のかたちは色々

There are many forms of marriage

This review contains spoilers. それほど好きー！という作画ではないのですがこのゆっくり話が進むにつれ、主人公の心情の変化がわかり易く丁寧に描かれているところが魅力的な作品。激情とかスピーディさを好む方は物足りないかもですが、今の時代、実際にいると思います、こういう夫婦やパートナー。親・親族・知人・友人からの重圧のため、もしくはそれ以外の理由でも、戸籍上の婚姻や事実婚や養子縁組、あらゆるかたちで繋がっている人たちは実在しますので。その中でも本作品の二人は婚姻後、本当に心から惹かれ合い2人のかたちで夫婦・家族になっていきます。出会えて本当にラッキーだった2人の物語です！ほのぼのとしますね。皆がこういう多様なかたちを認めれるというか、それが当たり前だと思われる世の中になればいいのに、と改めて思いました。

This review contains spoilers. I like it so much! It's not an animation called that, but it's an attractive work where the main character's changes in mood are carefully depicted in an easy-to-understand manner as the story progresses slowly. Those who like passion and speed may not be enough, but I think there are actually couples and partners like this in this day and age. There are actually people who are connected in all forms, such as marriage on the family register, factual marriage, adoption, or due to heavy pressure from parents, relatives, acquaintances, and friends, or for other reasons. Among them, after getting married, the two people in this film are really sincerely attracted to each other and become a couple and family in the form of two people. This is a story about two people who were really lucky to meet! I'll make it heartwarming. I thought again that it would be nice if everyone could acknowledge such diverse forms, or rather, become a world where they are taken for granted.

幸せって

What is happiness

人それぞれですよね。自由を失う代わりに、2人でいれば小さな事でも幸せに感じる…。最初は、2人で生活する事も大変だったのに、段々と2人でいる事が普通になってきて、家族になっていく。大きな山はありませんでしたが、共感出来る事も多く、頑張れって応援してました。

Everyone is different, right? Instead of losing our freedom, we feel happy even in small things when we're together... At first, living with 2 people was difficult, but gradually being with 2 people became normal, and they became a family. There wasn't a big mountain, but there were many things I could sympathize with, so I did my best and cheered for them.

キリがない

There is no Kiri

「早く結婚しろ」って言う親は、結婚したら「子供はまだか」、産まれたら「一人っ子じゃ可哀想だから兄弟を」、二人目が産まれたら「男男だから次は女の子」って言うよ。

Parents who say “get married soon” say “don't they have children yet” when they get married, “siblings because it's a pity if they're an only child,” and when they have a second child, “a girl is next because it's a man.”

好きです。

I like it.

This review contains spoilers. 最新話まで読みました。最初は距離があったふたりが徐々にラブラブになっていくのが凄く良いでも紫水さんが超奥手でラブラブといってもなかなか進展しないんですけど（汗ですが最初に比べたらかなり進んだな～と思うこれからが楽しみ本当の夫婦になれるのかな続きが楽しみです♪

This review contains spoilers. I've even read the latest episode. It's really good that the two of them, who had a distance at first, gradually become lovey-dovey, but it's not easy to progress even if Shimizu is super strong and love love (although it's sweaty, I think they've progressed quite a bit compared to the beginning, I'm looking forward to the future and I'm looking forward to seeing if they can become a real married couple ♪

愛を育んでいく

Nurturing love

This review contains spoilers. 契約結婚設定の漫画にありがちな身体の関係とかがなくて、純粋に一緒に暮らしてお互いを知っていくなかで愛を育んでいるのでとても面白いです。お互いが気持ちを自覚し、親への挨拶やこどものことをかんがえたり、嫉妬したりを繰り返して前に進んでいくお話がとっても楽しいしキュンキュンします！

This review contains spoilers. There are no physical relationships or anything that is common in comics about contract marriage settings, and they genuinely live together and nurture love as they get to know each other, so it's very interesting. The story where they both become aware of their feelings and move forward by repeatedly saying greetings to parents, thinking about children, and being jealous is so fun and exciting!

2人の空気感やら距離感が好きです。

I like the feeling of atmosphere and distance between the two of them.

他の偽装結婚って結婚は偽装なのに何故か体の関係を求めるものとか多いですがこれは本当に同居から始まりいい感じで距離が縮んできて…と、ちゃんと段階を踏んでるところがすごく好感度大です。紫水さんのペースに秋さんがあわせてるのもすごく素敵で見てて微笑ましいです。これからの展開も楽しみだし2人の赤ちゃんとか会えるなら会いたいなぁ。

There are many other fake marriages that seek physical relationships for some reason even though marriages are disguised, but this one really starts with living together and the distance shrinks with a good feeling... and the fact that they properly step through the stages is very likable. The fact that Aki-san is at the pace of Mr. Shimizu is also very nice and makes me smile when I look at it. I'm looking forward to future developments, and if I can meet the two babies, I'd like to meet them.

2人の距離の縮め方

How to shorten the distance between two

2人とも可愛くて、ピュアで、私にしてみれば凄く焦ったいと思ってしまうけど、あまり探り合わないで言葉にした方が早いのにと思うけど、それが出来ない2人が見守りたくていいんですよね

They're both cute and pure, and I think they're really impatient from my point of view, but I think it would be faster to put them into words without exploring each other too much, but it's fine for 2 people who can't do that to watch
