Sigh. I love Hotaru No Yomeiri and I'm so happy it's getting an English release from viz soon.

To be honest if you're a fan of releationships that are super healthy right off the bat this probably isn't for you, which is okay. I can get why people would think Satoko and Shinpei's relationship is weird at best and straight up toxic at worst but imo this is a story about finding someone who will accept and love you no matter what. All Satoko's life she has been told that no one would ever want to marry her due to her illness but Shinpei loves ... her regardless, while most people would be fearful and hate Shinpei because he works as an assassin Satoko still loves and wants to be with him no matter what.

I typically don't like yandere stories but I have been enjoying Hotaru No Yomeiri so far. There are some parts where I think Shinpei goes way too far with his "yandere-ness" or whatever (if you've read it you probably know what I'm talking about), but again a major part of this story is about how Shinpei is willing to change for Satoko. And while speaking about Satoko, she is probably one of my favorite female romance leads ever. She stands her ground and expresses that she is in fact not okay with some of the things Shinpei does, and will not marry Shinpei if he keeps his toxic behaviors.

Overall this story is very compelling and the characters along with their dynamics and themes are pretty bittersweet. If I could describe this manga in one word it would be bittersweet.

"yandere" obsessed girlies are winning !!! 🎀

so the story is about this pitiful girl from noble descent and this psycho guy with no whereabouts !! but - hold on !! our girl doesn't take no shit, she ain't no damsel in distress !!! she is aware of her weakness but she also knows her strength and she is smart, pragmatic and holds her ground. she is stuck in this difficult dilemma but she doesn't act like she can't do no shit.
coming to our ml, a psycho assassin who goes full batshit crazy over his love "our fl" ... that guy is a one crazy ... motherfucker but he is so likeable, despite being so he has his redeeming qualities. he is strong, looks human no minimal humane qualities but he grows with fl by his side.

the art is indeed very beautiful and pleasant, the plot is cliche but they stitch everything so perfectly, the CHARACTERS are the best part - so well written !! there is something about all the characters having their own charm and the aura they hold. they are fresh !!!

definitely a cute read, the romance BREWS SO WELL !! the pace is perfect !!! and i believe it will keep getting better and better !!

This story is a mess. The main character is completely unlikeable, suggesting to his wife that she become a prostitute to buy her freedom—what kind of logic is that? Yet, at the same time, he can’t stand anyone else laying a finger on her. The contradictions are absurd, and the plot makes no sense.

The main character comes across as a psycho with no real depth, acting erratically just for shock value. Meanwhile, the female lead is stuck in the role of a helpless damsel in distress, with no real agency or growth. It's frustrating and disappointing to see such poor character development.
