MDMRNNew Read - I Married My Best Friend to Shut My Parents Up
Machi Morimoto is being constantly bothered by her parents about the fact that she's a single woman. They keep trying to set her up on dates with men to try to force her to "Settle down and get married." Her friend Hana suggests the two of them get married instead saying, "That'll shut them up."
Japan does not have widespread legalized same-sex marriage, but certain Wards do allow similar legal arrangements to a marriage. So that's what they do. Her homophobic parents do shut up and basically shut her out.
Hana is a lesbian. She realized she was attracted to girls in high school. Machi always assumed she was straight, but relationships never went very far before because she could never really get too invested. As the series progresses and the two of them live together as a couple, Machi becomes more and more comfortable with Hana and slowly falls for her.
There are some moments where I cringed, like moments where Hana focuses on the size of Machi's breasts. But, overall, this was a sweet, short, but slow burn romance of two best friends becoming lovers. The flashbacks to high school moments between the two of them were also cute when compared back to modern day.
The other part of this is that through their relationship, both Machi and Hana grew stronger as people. Both did better in their respective careers. And Machi finally stood up to her homophobic Mother in a dramatic fashion including kicking her out of her home.
Overall, I enjoyed it. Glad I got it for an early birthday present and will definitely re-read it again!
