From Aerandria Scans:
Men - they're the root of Takanashi Chiwa's problems, which is why she never had the time nor the opportunity to have a boyfriend in her entire life. A full-time office lady and a part-time hostess, she works night and day to pay off her dad's debt from his failed business. One night at her part-time job, a high-class customer has her fired. Then the next day, she's called in to see the president - whom she had never even seen before in the office - only to find out she's to marry him! But what kind of guy is Mamiya Hokuto anyway? Will he become one of Chiwa's problems, or will he save her from them? And will this marriage even last?!
Review:
After reading this a couple of times I've decided to do a review for this.
My expectations for this manga were just above average, a lazy Sunday afternoon a I-got-nothing-better-to-do-on-the-with-my-life type of read.
The plot was a tad melodramatic and typical of office romance genre. They had their cute moments which I liked though the jealously got a bit past the point of endearing and became more of an annoyance. The story could have been cut short a few chapters if the mangaka just moved on.
The chemistry of the two main characters was pretty forced, I'm really over the whole male domination thing. It's pretty similar to Midnight Secretary in most aspects though Mamiya Hokuto, the male lead, seems more sympathetic and loving in the end. Realistically speaking, they are so mis-matched but there were some cute romantic one-liners that made the awkward relationship more accepting to the readers.
The female lead isn't a damsel in distress personality wise though she gets herself in that very position 90% of the time. It doesn't completely suck but it seems like the type of manga for an office lady with hardly any social life trying to escapism from her mundane job.
Speaking about the smut briefly, nothing too graphic and I think some of the pure hearted people (I don't thing you belong on the internet) could give it a go. It's not so central to the plot as a Shinjo Mayu sex infested manga are.
It's a nice above average manga so you could kill time but really no different to the many others out there.
