1/10 no Hanayome is an enjoyable manga, if you like borderline hentai with a semi-decent plot and characters.

Here is a quick run-down of things that should be mentioned but aren't on the official synopsis on MAL:
Zaizen (the MC) had a girlfriend (Natsuki) in high school. She asked for 20 million yen to help with her ill mother but she never returned again. A few years later, Zaizen has to choose 1 of the 10 candidates to marry. The problem is apparently one of the candidates is Natsuki but with a different appearance. ... There is also the Joker, in which if she is chosen to be married, Zaizen will lose his entire fortune. There are also 2 other candidates who are solely after his money. Which means 6/10 are 'regular' participants.

I did enjoy this manga, even though neither 2 of my favourite girls won the game, which sucks.

The art is great, about half of the characters are decently written-the other half you might as well forget about.

The ending is bittersweet, it features a time skip 4 years later with Zaizen and the wife being happy together, with a quick mention of what all the other past characters are up to now.


If you like this manga, I highly recommend Tamarowa, it's almost an identical premise except from a woman's perspective as a marriage candidate

"Is this some kind of legal hentai doujin?" is what I first thought. We got the s*x scene in the first chapter and keep getting it in the next chapters.
I don't mind how the story start, but the development afterward is horrible. It's too fast and nothing is logical. Okay, everyone has their own way to deal with things, so i won't blame the 'non-sense' matchmaking. But, is it that easy for people to change their feelings?? Every characters in this manga is so simple-minded and a bit random. And the mc, i know he's having a hard time and i feel sorry for ... him, but i also hate him. His misfortune was due to himself. He hated his state but he just kind of accepted it while cursed it, without doing anything to change it.
I started to feel sick reading this after we were given the scene that the main character's father did 'that' with one of the candidates. I am a reader who always tries to feel how the characters in the stories I read feel. So, I don't into like 'rotten scheming' nor 'ntr'. But, let's just leave it like that.
I almost dropped this manga several times, but I kept reading it in hopes that something would change the course of the story. But, the thing I was looking for didn't come, instead the story got so bad that I wanted to give this manga a score of 1.
I strengthened myself and made it to the last chapter published at that time. The reason I raised the score was because the 'hope' I had been waiting for had finally come. In that chapter, we got a wave that seems to be changing the storyline and will make the story a bit more interesting.
As a conclusion, i still not change my opinion that say this manga is legal version of doujin hentai. But, i still want to see how the story will end, so the real quality can be determined then.

"It's like uh, quintessential quintuplets!"

Not.

No, QQ is far more unique and well-executed (despite its ending).

1/10 no Hanayome is more of a cliche; 25-year-old neet son of a billionaire has to pick 1 of 10 girls to be his wife to push him forward.

However, it being cliche doesn't mean it can't be unenjoyable.

... Positives:
- Despite the cliches, and there are a lot of them, there were genuinely not a few plot twists that surprised me.
- Decent art
- Fun read
- Some characters are well written

Negatives
- It's both too short and ambitious. We get basically 0 time to know some of the characters, and having MORE CHARACTERS is not a solution
- Some of the characters are just... weird in how they're written. They're not written like people basically. A lot of times, you question "why" this person or the other is doing the things they're doing, and the explanations are just flat or unbelievable.

Overall, don't set your expectations too high. 1/10 no Hanayome isn't a masterpiece, nor does it have brilliant characters like QQ. However, that doesn't mean it can't be a fun short read.

Hoping reading this review helps you decide if you want to pick this one up into your list. Stumbling upon this manga and finding if it's worthy of your time, you'll be the judge of that.


⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The reason why I read this manga in the first place was the Art Style of the cover of the manga. To tell you the truth, the Art is pretty good. Is on par with a good H-doujin out there and I guaranty that you will not be disappointed. That is the only reason you'll probably remember this manga or its horrible story telling and this part is going to ... be the part the I really hate about this manga. The thing is I'm surprise that this manga get a serialization in the first place. Oh wait, I see now.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Anyway, what I'm trying to say that the author if this manga has a terrible way of expressing its story telling because of the badly written character's and its development. You know when reading some kind of literature, you have to feel and understand every action of that character and its surrounding so that you can be immerse. For this manga I don't feel that too immerse because of how the author of this manga has a terrible way of conveying story progression and the way the author add suspense and mystery to the story is just a let down. A hit or miss but mostly miss. By the time the manga end there are some question's left un-answered and the feeling of rushed kick's in. That's one of the reason why this manga utterly unsatisfying to read till the end.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀When it comes with the Character Development and its pacing of this manga. Oh boy. You know every manga out there has a character background story, right? Sorry to disappoint you that this is one of those manga that has a really disappointing way of telling you its character's background. Most of them is just so disappointing and only one or two people has a decent background story. The pacing of this manga it's like 0 to 100 quickly, it feel so rushed that you don't feel the build up of the tension of each character. To sum it up its pacing, it's disappointing. It pains me that this manga has a really interesting concept but poorly executed story telling and character development. What a shame.


That said and done, I did enjoy reading this till the end. Ultimately I did not like the ending *cough* Reika *cough* BEST GIRL*cough* but still I can recommend this to the veteran out there but not on the faint of heart but now that I think of it, it's mild not like other manga that I read out there that will left you scarred for the rest of your life. Side note that I read this on one setting and waited patiently to be finished.

Spoilers Ahead. Do not Read this at all if you didn't read yet.

Overall Rating Of 5

The MC here is portrayed well as a person who is basically a neet who lived in his room for several years after he feels as if he had been cheated by a girl who he gave 20 million yen to. His father who basically lent him the money, decides to make him go through an arranged marriage to make him choose a girl he will certainly marry and have a so called happy life one day.

The thing is, the girls here are either here for the money, or just ... arranged to due to circumstances or just like the MC as who he is. The story here just sounds interesting that is at first, but it drops down right after you realize what kind of person the MC is.

The MC is dislikable in several ways and it can clearly be seen through the whole story. He is not smart, and easily deceived by several other people. It can be seen as if he is just acting like this due to being pressured by his father who forced him, but at the same time the MC is too easily opened up which really gives us a very frustrating scenes from time to time.

To redeem itself, the book later on gives it justice showing that he might be a bit smart, and some s*x scenes to maybe pleasure the viewer itself but after I've seen him act dumb just too many times already, I had the urge to drop it even before the halfway mark of the full chapters.

To keep it simple, I'd only give it a higher mark compared to a 3 or 4 due to the well drawn character features and artwork. But if this wasn't existent, I'd give it a 3 since the MC is pretty much dislikable and MC's very very null mindset is not my type of story at all. Especially if the MC was already cheated on. Also, he is easily mind broken & swayed. It has a good ending though. I can give you that part.

Thats all I have to say about it.

Went into this thinking it would be more dark toned especially going off the first two chapters BUT to my surprise it's actually not. Premise screams Harem but the MC definitely has to eliminate females as the story goes on but that's one of cons right away. Many of the females don't get to development as much as the select few and that can turn many readers away. The tone of it is more drama based with smut scenes included but it always turns it around with a wholesome moment along the way. Ending was solid to me. Not amazing but still good with a ... twist that i honestly didn't like but some readers might find interesting. If the synopsis caught your eye then this is nice quick read. Wish it could have expanded on some stuff more but ill take what it has to offer

When an owner of a big company decides it is time to retire, he gets an idea to introduce to his introverted son a bunch of girls and gives him ultimatum to choose one of them as his wife to eventually inherit the company together.

The rules are simple. After each week, 1 out of 10 girls gets disqualified from the game until only one remains. A good spin on survival stories. Only instead of dying, a girl gets just disqualified and loses her right to marry into his rich family.

The main character is again the typical harem protagonist with one-dimensional personality and is always undecided ... what to do next.

We are talking about a harem manga, so we want to root for our favorite girl. However, one may want to change his opinion on a girl if she turns out to have sinister intentions; many of the girls have selfish objectives (e.g. just to get rich, being a gold-digger).

Fortunately, the one that is going to win (not saying who, of course) has genuine romantic feelings. That means we get a really nice and wholesome conclusion. We have no idea who it is unit the very end, which holds the suspense pretty well through the whole story.

Other than that, there’s nothing more to offer. There are some dialogues and actions between the characters, but these parts are mostly boring. The main selling point is, which girl gets disqualified next and which is going to ‘survive’.

To decide, if you wanna read it or not... If the synopsis sounds interesting to you, give it a shot. And remember it is very spicy and erotic with lots of nudity.

Pros:
+ interesting ‘survival’ aspect
+ good conclusion

Cons:
- boring dialogues
- plain personality of the male main character

Double-edged:
+/- development of the girls is only small, but sufficient
+/- ‘unappealing harem protagonist gets all the chicks’ formula is there, but well-reasoned
+/- very explicit/erotic content that should be expected since it is an ecchi manga

6/10 (OK)
