Yuriko and Gakurouta are newlyweds, but not like you’d expect.  Gakurouta is gay and has been in love with his best friend since childhood and Yuriko is aromantic and asexual.  She only feels those things when reading about her favorite m/m couples in novels and manga.  They decide to get married because of social pressure from their families.  They set up home together and look like a typical hetero couple from the outside but at home they have separate bedrooms and interests.  

It kind of sounds a little lonely and sad, but the relationship between them is surprisingly loving and sweet.  Yuriko goes out of her way to support Gakurouta as he struggles with his unreturned feelings that he can’t quite seem to get over, and he devotes himself to trying to share her interests and being a good husband in all other ways.  He wants to pick her up when she’s gone out drinking with her friends and they both try to cook for each other with amusingly disastrous results.  He wants to read her gay stories and she’s hilariously embarrassed about it.  

I did not expect this little story to be this good.  There’s some honest talk about relationships and how they work and don’t work in Japan.  I am looking forward to a second volume!
