A volume of the romantic leads being so busy that they either can't meet at all or immediately fall asleep when they do get together.

Weeks into their relationship and they are barely flirting, much less having sex.

I didn't sign up to spend half of the book watching a TV announcer prepping and hosting a music festival his girlfriend watches on TV.

Pretty dull now, but I have another volume on hand from the library to decide whether to bail or forge onward.

• Bonus Story. Nanaryu's Rude Language

A romance of opposites. She wants to give up her thriving career in real estate to become a housewife. He is a complex fellow, one who's unlikely to take a wife.

They know they are wrong for each other, but there are sparks there . . .

It's actually a bit generic, but I'm just so happy that it is a romance between a couple of twenty-something professionals without an outrageous age gap or a lurking supernatural menace. What a nice change of pace.

Manga for grown ups! The characters are so strange, one wants marriage the other doesn't but are they falling for each other?! Crazy. Not in love with it but enjoyed the first volume.
