Personal View: I bought my copy from Barns and noble in
store for $9.99 plus tax,
it's priced the same online. Unless you would like it for a Nook I
believe its $5.99. The ranged age is MATURE!! Gotta love a cover that has you in a wedding dress with a hot guy on the top of you. "Smiles" Their facial features are priceless. Hokuto's is all mysterious like, besides being very confident. Chiwa's pretty much like why me, just look past him. Plus the fact that her eyes are all bigger leaves much to the imagination. This series is absolutely hilarious!! I laughed a lot!! I have never heard of this book before till I received a request. So I looked into it, and I couldn't put down the first volume. Their are so many similar things that Chiwa goes through that a normal girl goes through slowly in life. Just not all at once like her situation. Poor girl I feel for yeah. (Vol. 1 Step 1 Clean Home)
(Vol. 1 Step 1 Compatible)
In the description section it says that Hokuto thinks differently then Chiwa about their marriage! It's a complete dead give away. The only thing I didn't like was when she turned to him at work, and tried to tell him that she picked up something. He grabs her an pulls her into a different room to pretty much yell at her. To not speak about their marriage at work or to anyone that could have anything to do with the company. Because he's all worried about his image.
(Vol. 1 Step 1 My Darling Savior)
Will that change???? When they got locked in the archive room, and the light go out. When Chiwa freaks out he does comfort her big time, since she has this phobia of the dark. "Nyctophobia" Sadly to say I have never heard of this word and had to look it up! "Definition posted below"
(Vol. 1 Step 2 Lock In Archives Room)
I know that when she goes to a firsts wedding he shows up unexpectedly and tells her old boyfriend from high school he's her husband. Everyone just start to talk about it, besides the he's soo... handsome. They graciously tell her congratulation. As their on their way home Chiwa expresses a inner feeling to Hokuto. He later says that he was jealous in a round about way. But still complements her on what she has on. Plus stops the car in the middle of the road just to give her a real kiss.
(Vol. 1 Step 3 Caring And Concerned)
(Vol. 1 Step 4 First Real Kiss)
Nyctophobia: (from Greek νυκτός,
nyktos, genitive of νύξ,
nyx, "night"
and φόβος,
phobos, "fear") is a phobia characterized by a severe fear of the dark. It is triggered by the brain’s disfigured perception of what would or could happen when in a dark environment.
Despite its pervasive nature, there has been a lack of etiological
research on the subject. The fear of darkness (nyctophobia) is a
psychologically-impacted feeling of being disposed from comfort to a
fear-evoking state. The fear of darkness or night has several
non-clinical terminologies—lygophobia, scotophobia and achluophobia.
Nyctophobia is a phobia generally related to children but, according to
J. Adrian Williams’ article titled, Indirect Hypnotic Therapy of
Nyctophobia: A Case Report, many clinics with pediatric patients have a
great chance of having adults who have nyctophobia.

Personal View:
I bought my copy from Barns and noble in
store for $9.99 plus tax,
it's priced the same online. Unless you would like it for a Nook I
believe its $5.99. The ranged age is MATURE!! Personally I like the way this cover is done. It makes them look more as if their on and even playing ground. But yes YET!! again the description completely gives it away!! Sadly though I'm only on volume two. And I have a confession to make!! I am completely and totally addicted to this new series!! Once again Thank You for the request or I don't think I would have ever came across this!!!
Now saying this as a female here, What girl in her right mind wouldn't get jealous and very upset over a tabloid saying that YOUR man is with someone else!! An even more so if your married.. It would be like a slap to the face!! I do say though that Chiwa holds her composure much better then I would have, at least I think so. Besides I would only think it to some what become natural to some what fall into love with someone you live with like this. It also makes it even harder not too if he's drop dead gorgeous!! Plus the circumstance of them "ALREADY" being Quote MARRIED Unquote.
I do how ever find it to be completely adorable when Hokuto goes after Chiwa, says you Yagami.. "I don't like it when people take whats mine! My Wife." Even though Chiwa puts up a great fight in the end I'm sorry but a passionate kiss from a handsome man that just called you that. Hell yah any girl would spoon. But one thing I never once quite expected from this Manga was how the X-Rating factor is tossed in.
{ 1 } (Vol. 2 Step 8 Wife!) { 2 }
I mean yes all the "scenes" of making out, etc.. are very well put together. But sorry lady's this is not like reading one of those "LOVE" books.... "Giggles" Just one thing that seems to bother me is the way that Hokuto likes to play with Chiwa's feelings so openly. You get the vibe right away that he's a very caring husband, to the max in every way possible. Just to make one worry in such away ain't very cool with me dudes!! TO all the guys out their reading this part.... You know you don't like it when we play mind games!!! SO you don't do that S*** either got that.
{ 3 } { 4 }
{ 5 }
It's very beautiful that Hokuto is very willing to wait for his now wifey Chiwa to be ready to be bedded by him. That is a great sign of respect to a woman. Even though most guys would be like YAHH BOY! Thus this divides the "Men" from the "boys". So hopefully you'll start to enjoy this series just as much as me. Once I started reading I could put it down. Man I even thank god for my Manga app. on my smartphone. No worries though I've got your back!! { Listed website below }
Overall Rating: Hard 5 Stars!!
The pictures are absolutely perfectly down!!
