Interesting story, except for the fact that even in Japan, in-company rules like "no relationship between coworkers allowed" has actually been made illegal for almost 2 decades by now.

Manga and LN authors still loves to uses it as a way to forcefully pushes the characters to hide their relationship, but there are just better way to do it. (It's kinda ok for manga and LN from the 90's or even early 2000's when it was still not yet clear, but nowadays, that's just a 100% lazy setup.)

For instance, it could have been a simple rule of "No romance during work time." mixed with something like the will of the couple to not display their relationship to avoid pressures from coworkers regarding said relationship. (It's also no yet clear if Taiyou is wearing his ring at work which seem similar to his wife's ring on the few panel where he wear it at home.)

In certain prefectures, any business who Is found to have such a rule or even unofficially enforce such a rule can be fined for as much as 20 million yens per infraction. As such, any startup companies would just avoid such a rule from the start.

Japan is not crapping around with its extreme case of low birthrate and children-to-parents ratio. It invest billions of yen every year in various ways to try to raise the ratio. In 2019, for example, the Children-to-Parent ratio in Japan was as low as ~0.42 meaning that, in averages, more than half of the registered married couple doesn't even have a single children. Back then, a study among 20K students in famous Colleges and Universities pointed out that ~68% of the woman and ~54% of the men wouldn't want to get in any relationship anytime close and, instead, wanted to focus solely on their career for at least 10 years. And other studies shows that over 88% of the single people situated, in their life, at that "10 years later" with stable incomes/career aren't feeling any need to get into a relationship unless "the perfect" companion would knock at their door (meaning unless something happen without any efforts on their end because all their energy is still spent on their career) which, as many already knows it, it's less than likely to happen than winning a lottery that truly set them for life.

As such, if any business was to truly put a rule that would disallow coworkers from getting into a relationship while off-hour and if it would have been found out, the company would not only get hit by a fine, but might also get hit by quite a few cases of social degradation (being targeted and bullied by medias &/or social groups).

Classic mangakas making bullshiz twash in order to appeal to idiots.

2/10. This is possibly one of the worst manga I ever read. No engaging story. Boring asf. Slice of life bullshiz. And this is NUMBER 1 MOST POPULAR? Manga has fallen and I seem to be proven correct again and again.

"The quality of anime and manga has severely diminished with the passage of time and I sincerely believe that this is proof of the end times of manga.

We are in the end times of manga where companies will sellout and refuse to create good stories with good characters and good world building and instead opt to create trash like this.

Manuwha is appropriately killing manga and I don't think we'll see a resurgence of manga any time soon. Japanese content media is trash."

The fact that this trash 🗑️ is number 1 is indicative of a failing entertainment industry. I'm going to stop making comments like these and simply stop reading manga. There is virtually no point to keep going. This is just pain all around.

Gone are the days of good story. Good character development. Good world building. Good community and good consistent updates. This manga will likely get 1 or 2 more chapters before getting sacked and no longer worked on. Truly trash.

Maybe this is a sign to quit manga and focus on real life. I'm about to blow.

There are propably some rules about "no relationship in same department or closely related ones".

Never underestimate the ability of a large corp, with tons of HR staff and lawyer, to skirt and bypass a law like this. The only thing they would do is not come right out and say it that directly. They'd just dress it up as some sort conflict of interest type thing and not be honest about it.

Remember, you as the victim would have get your claim investigated and tried and the deck is painfully stacked against you.

Remember, you as the victim would have get your claim investigated and tried and the deck is painfully stacked against you.

Except this story is about a couple working in a successful startup and not a large corp that has existed for so long that it could have implemented ways of moving around around the law.

This is a quite-misunderstood concept of corporations because all you ever hear about is the big old one in the news so it's natural that you would think that what's happening in the big old ones could happen in any other newer ones.

I could explain quite a lot about how corporation/business works and how it's basically a stupid move on every point to implement an anti-couple rule, if based in Japan. To your point about lawyers, in Japan, there wouldn't be any lawyer firm that is worth it salt that would accept to work for a business that implement an anti-couple rule because that's just like shooting yourself in the foot on so many level. It's like if a lawyer firm would accept to work with a business that, in its rule book, allows its upper management to punch their employee in the face whenever they wish for it. Sure, there might be a lot of money to be made out of such a crazy case, but it's counter balanced with how the lawyer firm would simply be unable to protect its client's assets.

And, another point you might not know about: You don't need to put a claim and be tried when it comes to that kind of investigation. While you do have to put in a claim, it's not a claim against the business per say. If you go to a marriage legislation building (the place where you register your marriage), they should have receive some kind of way of communicating about your claim with their upper management who then can request an investment. It's not a case of victims vs their employer, but government vs the employer. If the claim is found to be fake, the government has your information through your marriage registration and can fine anyone who exploit the system for no good reason. If the case is found to be valid, then the business is fined for violation and then measures are taken to ensure the rules are changed.

Some big old companies could fight it out in court for years, but that's not the case of any startup as even if they makes a lot of money, they shouldn't be stupid enough to enforce a sooner-then-expected market's curve by wasting funds on corporate rule enforcement instead of expending their market even more. (Especially if it's to enforce staff-detriment rules that could negatively affect the staff well-being.)

I forgot to mention it previously, but there's a legal bypass that exists in Japan.

A foreign entity who launch a local branch of their business (which cost a fortune by the way) in Japan could implement a rule that disallow relationship IF their company in foreign ground has the same rule by extending the corporate rule which, basically, makes Japan recognize the building of the business as a rented space for a foreign entity.

While it's not about the same kind of rules, a good example of the application of this exception is with the US military bases in Japan who have their own rules and laws that are quite different from the ones surrounding the base. That's because the bases are considered rented space for a foreign entity (the US government).

So, an example of how the author could have put a real "anti-couple" rule would have been if, for example, the couple would have been working for a foreign company renting a site in Japan instead of a startup. Not only that would give the company some heavy weight on the financial/power balance, but it would also explain why the rules aren't following the local laws. It could have been a multi-national megacorp from China who rent a space in Japan to hire local engineer in R&D researches toward the mainland's technological advancement would have been believable as, in China, there aren't anti-couple laws for businesses (at least, from what I checked, but I might be wrong). One of the strange part of this kind of exception is the fact that it also give the space immunity against media retaliation.

Enjoy the sweet moments but since they have been married for somewhere between two years or less some of the awkward moments seem forced.

 

[uhhhhhhhhhhh789]

Laughably bad. Should have just made this into porn if you’re going to have absolutely zero story or conflict other than; “My significant other gets pulled into trouble by nobodies and is resolved almost immediately”. Husband is extremely boring and generic, probably a self insert. The dynamic between the couple doesn’t even make sense due to how polar opposite they are. 2/10 is generous for this trash.

Good point, but this review assume that is like as if someone is searching the real state of things in Japan via mangas.
We're here to see a love comedy between a man and a Gal OL.

Everyone who's interested in this will first search in news and even portals like Forbes and BBC Japan, and fonts even more local.
