I Married My Best Friend to Shut My Parents Up (by Naoko Kodama)
Read for the "manga" category in the RHC. It's a short manga about a girl who marries her best friend "to shut her parents up" and then ends up developing romantic feelings for her.
There are a lot of flashbacks, which made this choppy and confusing to read. (This may partly be because I'm not used to reading manga, but I had no issues with My Brother's Husband.) There is some weird sexual harassment going on, flashbacks that don't pay off, a weird focus on the main character's giant boobs?
I mean, it's cute - the grumpy/sunshine dynamic is there and this could have been adorable. But it lacked pacing and depth, for me.
