Synopsis
Newlywed samurai Soujirou strives to win his wife's heart, unaware she already loves him deeply.
It has been one month since samurai Soujirou married the charming Chiyo. Despite their marriage being prearranged by their parents—enough reason for anyone to be dissatisfied—Chiyo has been a courteous wife who handles her household affairs with ease. Bewildered by her beauty and great capabilities, Soujirou could not ask for a better partner! But there is one thing that bothers him: Chiyo forces a smile whenever he is around. Convinced that his wife despises him, Soujirou swears to become a good husband who can make Chiyo genuinely happy. Little does he know, his wife loves him much more than he could imagine.

- 10 “Let me start this review by saying, if you like Kaguya-sama love is war... Than don't bother reading any reviews just go and read this manga. Chiyo has the same energy as Kaguya from Aka's...”
