Goodreads Synopsis:
A family comedy manga about a high school boy and his sister in law who moves in, who has a BIG secret from her past.
Tohru Komukai and his bride-to-be, Komugi, move in with his family just until they find a place of their own. Or, that was the plan, until Tohru suddenly leaves for a long-term business trip overseas, leaving Komugi to fend for herself on her in-laws’ turf. While Komugi is pretty, considerate and appears to be an ideal housewife, the truth is she doesn’t know how to do a lick of housework, and can’t cook at all. Also, she has a secret past as a member of an all-girls bosozoku biker gang! The only member of the family to learn these secrets is Dai, Tohru’s younger brother, and he helps Komugi keep up appearances until she can learn how to hold her own as a domestic goddess...

Review:
Komugi and her fiance have moved in with his family while they plan
and settle things, and then suddenly he's called away overseas on
business. Which leaves Komugi with her fiance's family, not knowing
them too well at this point.
Komugi is trying hard to help and fit in and get along with everyone.
But she's clearly the odd one out. And also, she used to be a
delinquent, and now she sneaks out of the house at night to meet up
with her girl friends, and of course she can't tell her fiance's
family any of this, because they wouldn't approve.
I was honestly very interested in this series, originally. I don't
really understand why she would be living with her fiance's family,
but maybe that's an American thing for that to seem weird; especially
once he's gone for who-knows-how-long. But once it was obvious that
Dai, her fiance's brother, likes her, I lost some interest. I'm still
intrigued by Komugi's character and her challenges regarding her
delinquent past, but I'm not interested in that whole unrequited
soon-to-be brother-in-law drama. I don't think that's necessary.
I believe this is a short series, so I might try more. I'm not sure
at this point.
