Synopsis

An aromantic, asexual fujoshi and a closeted gay man have nothing in common, but that does not stop Yuriko and Gakurouta Hanazono from entering a sham marriage. Unable to understand romantic attraction, Yuriko finds solace in boys love media and desires to be nothing more than an observer in a romance. Meanwhile, Gakurouta harbors unrequited feelings for his heterosexual childhood friend Sousuke Kusama, who also happens to be the gardener for their estate.

As the couple strives to adapt to their less-than-idyllic union, Gakurouta learns more about his wife's interests, while Yuriko tries her best to hide her fujoshi delusions as she watches her husband interact with Sousuke. In the process, Yuriko and Gakurouta find a strange sense of comfort with each other. Although they will never develop romantic feelings for one another, their mutual understanding seems to bring them together in a completely different way than they ever thought possible.

Preliminary (3/20 eps)
This is a pretty refreshing manga about the FL and ML in an arranged marriage but aren’t in love with each other. FL isn’t really the type to fall in love with anyone (she is a BL fan too) and ML likes fellas, he is in love with his childhood friend. As much as it’s not great for them to be forced to be married each other, it is so sweet that they get along with each other! You see a lot of arranged marriage manga that are completely over the top and fall of drama. This one however, it is again very nice to ...

When I heard about this manga I was surprised, because I heard that it was about an aroace woman and a gay man. I have seen aroace representation in manga once before, and I thought that was the only piece I would get. I am so happy that there seems to be more aroace characters being created, and the sexuality is beginning to be understood!
The artstyle is nice, and the characters are great so far (although I have only found 3 chapters translated.) Obviously since I haven't read much, the plot hasn't picked up yet, but the characters have so far fleshed out personalities and ...

Honestly? I'm aroace myself, and I can't really recommend this manga. Mild spoilers ahead.

I found the first two volumes more or less alright, because I initially liked the thought of their relationship. The premise sounded promising, and the first few chapters were admittedly interesting. But then it went downhill and especially the third volume really disappointed me. The female main character became increasingly more bland as the focus clearly moved onto the male lead and especially his childhood friend - and first crush - Sousuke and his relationship troubles. I kind of feel like the author ran out of ideas for more ace-centered chapters, which ...
