I Married My Best Friend to Shut My Parents Up
Mangaka Kodama Naoko is a yuri manga legend. Her series NTR - Netsuzou Trap is a steamy and sexy yuri manga about two childhood friends who, while preparing for romance, quickly realize they only have eyes (and hands) for each other. Kodama Naoko has taken a lighter approach to the yuri manga genre with I Married My Best Friend to Shut My Parents Up (a manga with a name to rival the silliest of light novels and a cover reminiscent of Nagata Kabi's manga).
To begin with, the art is bright and expressive, which aids in exuding that lighter, sweeter tone with pitch-perfect accuracy. In terms of the plot, the title does a lot of the heavy lifting. This is the story of Machi, a young office worker whose parents are pressuring her to marry, settle down, and enter traditional adult life. Machi agrees to a sham marriage with her friend and underclassman, Hana, who is currently living with her and has a crush on her, in order to stop her parents in their tracks. Machi's conservative parents are disgusted by the match, and as the title promises, they are successfully silenced for the time being.
However, Machi learns over time that she is happy in this marriage; that it gives her everything she never knew she wanted; and that she was happy to upset her parents and the status quo because she is now living a previously hidden truth. This is not a revolutionary or lengthy story. This is a one-volume manga with only a few chapters. It's a charming, succinct, and joyful yuri manga that serves as yet another excellent introduction to the genre.
