From Chibi Manga:
Oriyama Karin, 16 years old. She is in high school and... she's about to get married!
5 Volumes (Complete)




Nothing fancy here, if you are looking for a discount romance this is it. Not a bad thing, but not really a good thing either. The whole story is like a cup of Luke warm water that you wish was either a cup of hot tea or at the very least cold water.
The biggest issue for me is the story delivery. “A spoiled girl marries a man simply because he is hot” is generally the story here. Watching a spoiled rich girl learn that the world does not revolve around her and learning that Relationships take effort sounds like fun.
Too bad none of that really happens. After 16 years of being spoiled, our mc becomes the perfect cute woman in all of 1 week. With very little resistance and very little effort on her part. It would have been nice to see her struggle internally and to see the guy fall for her as she matured.
In the first couple of chapter the series kind of annoyed me, and I was contemplating dropping it, but then it actually got interesting. And now I don't hate Karin and am really enjoying the character progression!
Behold the manga version of "The Taming of the Shrew" 😀 At least, I think we're headed there. Not that I'm comparing a manga to a Shakespeare masterpiece, but the theme is the same I guess...
Comig to the manga, 16 year old Karin is the only daughter of a successful businessman, who finds out on her birthday that her wedding has been arranged. The reason seems kind of vague, just that her parents and her fiance's parents were old friends, and had married at that age (16). I suggest you not to dwell on it much 😛
About Karin... her being an only child of a businessman hardly justifies her attitude... In the beginning I was fed up from Karin's bratty, snotty, snobbish attitude. And the handsome young man who is her fiance looks up the name again Tsurugi, felt sort of suspicious... But the subsequent chapters actually revealed the circumstances and now those first 2 or so chapters feel more relatable. And somehow both the protagonists have grown to be likable...
All I can say is... you can't help but wait to see how the shrew is tamed 😉
I rate it 8... An extra 1 point because of its potential 😀
