"What is it, Mr. Amakusa? Don't tell me you're planning to make midnight visits to my bed?" Aki Kurumi, 29 years old, meets Shisui Amakusa at a singles' mixer, and what should he unexpectedly propose but a paper marriage...! And once she starts living with Shisui, who is a touch out of sync with her, it kicks off a string of miscommunications and minor catastrophes! Their life as newlyweds (on paper) gets off to a bumpy start, but it's somehow almost cozy... "I didn't realize I would be so happy... to be needed by someone." They each chose this paper marriage for their own convenience, but could they become a real husband and wife? What is "love"? What is "marriage"? This is a bumbling love story that depicts how men and women coexist.

    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
    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 All Starts With a Contract Marriage!
This title gives off a vibe like "Everyone's getting married and I wanna get away from all this stuff, but I'm also don't really want to deal with love so let's get married!" The story will make you hope for the two of them to eventually really fall in love, and is worth reading if you want a story that keeps you begging for the couple to work everything out!
