I picked this book up and I read it all in one sitting. I have to say it's really good! The characters are great. It doesn't focus on high school students, but two young adults living on their own. It deals with real life issues. I got into it and loved it! Then I found out that this is a one-shot manga...
I'm pretty sad that there are great characters, a good setting, and great ideas thrown into this and be made a one-shot with four chapters.
Anyways good book!
8/10 it's staying on my shelf to be read again!

I'm happy that this manga focuses on adults in the working world instead of highschoolers because I feel lesbian representation in manga is often overwhelmingly in school settings.
This story well addressed not only lesbianism and homophobia but sexism in the workplace as in Japan, they call it the "bamboo ceiling" for a reason. I also liked the inclusions of the general gay woman experience that was added into the story that would be very relatable for lots of lesbian and bisexual readers (like myself). The storyline was very realistic and I could see this happening in real life. I'm glad the author made such ... Oct 25, 2019
It's very refreshing to read a manga that's about adults living on their own, rather than a teen going though the mundane journey known as high-school. (or middle school)
This story is about a young woman named Machi who is in a charade of a same sex marriage with her best friend Hana to get her parents to stop forcing suitors onto her. Hana did confess back in high-school she has a lesbian crush on Machi, so it's a little awkward for Machi. Hana is so cute, she's a carefree commission artist and she does act polite and a little awkward towards Machi. This manga does touch a little ... Feb 5, 2022
A cute one shot that is a tad average. The short story at the end, Anaerobic Love, was a waste of time.
The main story is relatively light hearted. Unfortunately, while the plot is decent and the art is nice, without going a bit further into the plot and lacking character development, the story is rather flat. I did enjoy that it was about adult women, and I enjoyed that they worked in different industries (rather than both being generic OLs). I also enjoyed Machi learning to do what she wanted, rather than do whatever her family said. Machi standing up to her mother when she ... May 25, 2024
No, your eyes do not deceive you, I Married My Best Friend To Shut My Parents Up is the actual title of this fairly short yuri manga. And I really do mean short, as it's only about three chapters long. Yes, really. But what's it about, you might ask? All her life, Machi Morimoto has lived for the sole purpose of meeting her parents' very high expectations and doing everything they tell her to do, no matter how much she might be opposed to it. But currently, she's grown tired of her parents pressuring her to marry a man of their choosing, knowing that they're
