Goodreads Synopsis:
Married off to a man
more than twenty years her senior, Koyuki has no idea what her new life
has in store for her. She's so in the dark, in fact, that she hasn't
even seen her husband's face! But Koyuki isn't alone in fumbling through
the intricacies of wedded bliss. Mask-donning Shin might have many
years on his young wife, but as it turns out, he's just as naïve as she
is! Will this pair of innocents ever get past their awkwardness (and the
age gap)?!
Review:
This is by the same artist as
Horimiya,
so of course I had to pick it up. I'm obsessed with that series, and
I had to try this one out.
Koyuki is married off to Shin, an older man who wears a mask, and
whom she knows nothing about, but is determined to be a good
housewife to. She's extremely innocent, but she thinks she's prepared
for everything marriage entails, and she's curious. Fortunately for
her, though, Shin is just as innocent as she is, and he can't bring
himself to try anything with such a younger woman, even as their
feelings grow.
This was a really sweet book. Koyuki works hard doing what she can
for Shin, taking care of the house and cooking for him and trying not
to let anything get in her way, even her own injuries. The humor is
really good, and the banter and tricks are quite funny. Koyuki gets
stubborn at times, and it's fun to see her fight Shin, and how Shin
tries to appease her. They get a little dragon at one point, and it's
a cute little thing.
I think if this series were given
more time, it could have developed more, and more things would have
been explained. I would have liked to see under Shin's mask, for
instance. And I wanted to see the two actually get closer, to share
touches and kisses more. But this was a really sweet ones-shot, and I
think it ended at a good point. It was a fun, very cute romance
story.
