The manga was serialized in Business Jump from 2005 to 2007, and compiled into eight volumes.

Give Geeks a Chance: Shoutarou looks every inch the nerdy electronics store manager he starts out as, yet Natsumi seems to fall for him quickly. And once he becomes manager of a prestigious department store, most women dig him, even if at first irritated by his dull exterior. |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: In chapter 54, when Shoutarou hears that Natsumi has been gypped into working at a hostess bar, he explodes, "What is that 3rd-rate mangaka thinking, doing something so crude?" We see Noriyuki at the corner of the page, looking irked and going "..." Noriyuki puts in another self-cameo appearance as the third contestant in the trivia contest, and not even managing to get a single question right. |

Character Development: All of the new formed family get some, and some side characters too; but Shoutarou is the most obvious one, notice in the beginning how dorky and not quite dependable man he is; later he becomes the very definition of a man you can rely on, it even shows in his physique as he suddenly got quite bulkier than in the early chapters. |

comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Natsumi's mother-in-law, whose nasty behavior has actually been motivated by loneliness and a sense of disgrace over her son's callous behavior toward Natsumi, springs to her daughter-in-law's defense after her aunts-in-law come close to seriously injuring Natsumi in chapter 44. The process is helped along by Natsumi establishing a bond with her mother-in-law, who is a very fine cook, by learning how to prepare traditional Japanese dishes. The aunts-in-law themselves experience a Heel–Face Turn in chapter 47. |

Missing Mom: Shoutarou's sons, especially little Ryo, go through a good bit of angst over their mother's abrupt departure. This also made her a Karma Houdini in many readers' eyes — she doesn't give much thought to them when she leaves and never once attempts to visit or check up on them. |

Unwanted Harem: Inverted. Natchi has a small horde of admirers, but this doesn't have much effect on the plot. Used more with Shoutarou, who subverts it by gently but very firmly rebuffing the ladies that keep throwing themselves at him. Notably, Shoutarou does not leave feelings unresolved, unlike many harem centers. He's not mean about it, but he makes it very clear where he stands. |

No "Police" Option: The two protagonists buy the same house from a Shady Real Estate Agent. When they call the police they're told "We can't help you." This makes no sense (the police aren't depicted as corrupt or anything), but there's a lot of Fridge Logic about how the situation could even arise in the first place. |

Dogged Nice Guy: Averted, at first because Shoutarou is hung up on trying to win back his ex, then later because he's genuinely respectful of Natsumi's refusal, even after she starts displaying obvious hints she's changed her mind. |

comment |
Karma Houdini: The manga tends to stress forgiveness and understanding in every situation, including to a man who strikes a little girl in the head hard enough to knock her over, and to in-laws that come close to murdering a single mother. This is directly derived from the author's Christian beliefs (as explained in the main entry); the relevant Biblical injunctions in this case are almost certainly the ones to turn the other cheek and to forgive one's enemies "seven times seven". |

Extreme Doormat: For a tsundere, Natsumi has serious problems saying "no", especially when challenged to "prove" she's worthy to marry Shoutarou. This has led to her being groped by slimy salarymen in a cabaret, and being utilized for slave labor by her in-laws, among other things. |
