*Whishhh* *whashhh*

Do you hear that? Oh, you don’t? Well, it’s the sound of pure wish fulfillment — that is this manga. Not only is this manga the embodiment of wish fulfillment itself with the gal wife trope, it’s a manga about a married couple. Let’s set this straight: Mangas about an already set and established couple aren’t good. Why? Well, there’s just no plot, especially ones relying on wholesome moments to get by; if you can’t tell by now, this manga does exactly just that.

Plot — a rather basic and self explanatory word, but every manga needs to have one to function, and only ... great mangas have a unique, captivating, and enjoyable one. As for this, this manga is reminiscent of every wholesome webcomic that is produced nowadays; in other words, the manga relies on a gimmick to compensate its lack of storytelling and unique events, which is impossible to do.

In the first chapter, the manga is rather wholesome and nice with the introduction. By the second chapter, the same concept and storyline for the first chapter was used, which was quite annoying to read; but hey, I’ll give the Mangaka the benefit of the doubt, surely the third chapter with have something different? Wrong. In each chapter, the manga doesn’t attempt to do or add anything new, but rather reworks the same event over and over again, attempting to pass by as new material.

The characters are rather self-explanatory of this manga; the main cast is what the story revolves around, and there have been no essential side characters, however, there are the usual “bad guys for the sake of being bad guys,” which makes the manga rather laughable instead of the usual inflictions of admiration and coolness that stem from such events.

As much as I hate on this manga, it is just a 2koma with a longer, stretched out ending/satisfaction moment in the last panel. If that suits your boat, then you’d probably enjoy this more than me, however, the lack of plot and the sheer amount of wish fulfillment limits the enjoyability of this manga to three chapters for me.
