This couple is absolutely adorable! An invisible man and a blind woman who turn out to be the perfect match for each other enter into a relationship and omg their so cute. It reminded me of the manga Viel, though the art style is by no means comparable. The art style in this is quite simple, but I find it fits the story perfectly. I do wish this wasn't written in an episodic format, but I adore it nonetheless. If you're looking for a cute romantic story with lots of blushing, give it a read, it'll definitely have you smiling.

Absolute hidden gem!!

In a world where humans and supernatural beings coexist. "Yakou Shizuka" a blind woman works as a secretary in a detective agency and her employer "Tounome" an invisible detective develop a romantic feelings for one another taking them from just office workers to soon-to-be wife and husband.
Each lead perceives the other in ways other people cannot given their unique circumstances foster a deep connection between them, which makes a unique and unconventional love story really captivating and enjoyable.

The story is combines light-romance, slice of life and fantasy really well which makes it really the evermore engaging.

The other two characters among "Tounome" ... and "Shizuka" are; "Jarashi" an energetic, big hearted beast-woman who is in charge of bodyguarding services and "Kikira" a human with a blunt personality in charge of intelligence gathering, this makes makes the overall dynamic and interactions at the agency really fun and lively.

The art is very distintive from other mangas since it incorporates shades of blue, apart from the traditional black and white in manga.
The character designs are drawn really adorable and visually stunning which really fit the characters traits and personalities.

Overall, I really like the manga since it gives you an enchanting story out of the norm of romance narratives in other mangas.
As a fan of slice of life romance stories this really fits right up my alley and I hope more chapters release soon. Also I´ve seen listed there´s going to be an anime adaptation which I soo hyped for!!!

If you don't care for three dimensional characters or a well written story, and is looking to read a cheap romance all for a premise of an 'interspecies' couple that was paired together just because it looks good, then 'The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife' is for you.

This whole manga is a gimmick; All of the characters' personalities are based on a single trope, so none of them act like real people. Yakou is the kind disabled girl; Tounome is the previously heartbroken, handsome invisible detective; Yakou's coworkers include a grumpy 'tsundere' and a protective older sister type. None of them deviate at ... all from these tropes at any moment, turning them remarkably two dimensional. Well, at least Jarashi is a slightly more interesting character compared to the main leads (but that's not a good thing). The side characters are pretty forgettable.

The story already starts at the point when Yakou gets asked out by her boss, Tounome. Even though she gets flustered, it is unknown how she felt about him before that moment. The manga does not delve too much into their thoughts and feelings for each other. For all we're shown, Tounome only asked Yakou out because he is insecure about being invisible to his partners.

Since they don't get to know each other very well before becoming a couple, the appreciation they show for each other seems to be more related to their profiles (being a handsome detective/being blind and cute) than anything else, making for a rather weak foundation to their relationship.

I could not enjoy it due to how little established connection the two main characters have to become such a lovey-dovey couple so quickly, with their interactions seeming very much forced (and even with those moments, their bond doesn't seem very strong). The worst part is how Yakou and Tounome are shallow enough to make them feel unrelatable and unsympathizable.

Of course, this manga does not focus on romantic development at all, but it rather consists of a sequence of "cute and wholesome" moments with the two main leads, with them going out on dates and often encountering embarassing situations related to the girl being blind and the guy being invisible.

Most people will probably find this manga "cute and wholesome" after a quick read, but if you're a person who is looking for an actually competent romance, then this is not for you.
