I can't fucking believe somebody made a manga about my culture. This is simultaneously the weirdest and greatest thing every.

The artist drawn the characters and scenery very well and beautiful. Wish to having another creation from them again. Great job

Apparently there are only five volumes.

I guess it's a manga about culture.
I liked it at first, but so far as 11-13 chapters, it's all about mundane everyday tasks.
Doesn't have a central plot. Characters developed very slowly. The main heroine smiles nicely in some panels, but that's pretty much all about her character so far.
Art is nice though.

The art is so amazing and the story is so cozy. Sad it has ended but looking forward to the author’s next series.

I would like to add the caveat that in a lot of cultures where arranged marriage is acceptable, the idea of divorce is frowned upon, to say the least. The nature of the institution of marriage isn't the same throughout the world; equating marriage in a place like America where there is some semblance of gender equality with a place like Somalia where little girls as young as 13 are married off to men at least twice their age is ignorance at best.

Judging arranged marriages on the overall result of less divorce (which isn't even an option for many marriages in third world countries) or "happiness" of spouses in inescapable situations is first world naivete at its finest. Marriages where spouses don't even have a choice in who they spend the rest of their lives are inherently flawed and archaic. Removing choice from a life-changing decision and assuming everything will work out because of a "well it's not like I can do anything about it" mentality is laughable. There's nothing utilitarian about it.

Six years later, since I'm here again, I would like to say I have no idea what the hell was wrong with me in my original cringe reply to this. All of this is correct.
