*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Yuriko and Gakurouta are still figuring out their fake marriage and in this volume we finally see how they met.

Their relationship is wholesome as they become better friends and learn more about each other. The how we met story is hilarious and a little bittersweet as Gakurouta’s love is still unrequited. The story also has space to teach us more about how Yuriko’s asexuality. I’m sure every person who identifies as such is different but it was still cool to know about. 4 out of 5.

Yuriko and Gakurota appear to be like any other newlywed couple but behind the scenes, Yuriko is asexual who loves yaoi and Gakurota is gay; hiding his unrequited love for his childhood friend who also happens to be the gardener for the house they live in.

Other than Gakurota’s feelings, this is pretty low angst and more slice of life. Yuriko still tries to be a good wife, and Gakurota tries to be a good husband despite them not being in love at all. You don’t see many asexual characters around and Yuriko is funny and likable. They both settle in to life together, attempting to share interests and be a “normal” couple. I wonder how this will play out in future volumes; if it will stay as breezy as it is now or take a darker turn. But I want to read more! 4 out of 5.
