Okay, so I read Usotsuki Hanayome to Dousei Kekkon-ron a while back, and while it’s cute and funny at first, I gotta be honest—it kinda starts to drag? Like, the whole premise of the female lead lying constantly to keep the fake marriage going is fun for a few chapters, but after a while, it feels like the same thing over and over. Every arc is like:
1. She tells a lie.
2. Male lead gets mildly annoyed/suspicious.
3. Wacky hijinks happen.
4. They make up with zero consequences.
…and then repeat. It’s like the story’s stuck in a loop, y’know? I kept waiting for some real growth or a deeper dive into
why she lies so much, but it never really goes there. Feels like wasted potential.
Also, the male lead? He’s just… there. Like, he reacts to her antics but doesn’t have much personality beyond being the “straight man” to her chaos. I wanted him to call her out more or show some actual frustration instead of just shrugging it off. It makes their relationship feel kinda shallow, like they’re just going through rom-com motions without any real emotional stakes.
Don’t get me wrong—the art’s nice, and the comedy hits sometimes. But after 15 chapters, I was like, “Are we ever gonna talk about trust issues? Or how lying messes with relationships?” Instead, it’s all played for laughs. If you’re here for light, brainless fluff, it’s fine. But if you want characters who evolve or a story with depth? Eh, might leave you wanting more.
(TL;DR: Fun at first, but wears thin fast. Needs less “gotcha!” humor and more heart.)
