Wagahai Wa Yome de Aru



Volumes: 1 Complete

I was kinda confused when I read this scan. I thought this was a short series about a high school girl married to a writer but it's actually a series of oneshots. The high school girl story is one of four. The way that it was described with that one story only seemed like it was a series.

Anyway...

"I'm His Wife" Nako meets an author named Hii-kun at the bookstore, they start going out and then soon get married. It kinda bothers me that an adult would ask a high school girl to marry him. She wasn't wise beyond her years or anything like that, she was what you'd expect from a high school girl, a child. She even mentally says that she's missing out on stuff because she got married young. She gets interested in a high school classmate named Saigou-kun and goes out with him.

"Love Mates" Natsuki has been suffering from nightmares and she wants to roommate to keep her company. Turns out her roommate is a guy named Ootani. She's a little uncomfortable about this.

"Children Salad" Oda Akira is a man hoping to become a nursery school teacher. The problem is that kids are afraid of him, and he doesn't like kids very much either. There is a bright friendly high school girl who also works at the nursery. This author has something for older men/ high school girls.

"The Flower Language Of Lilac" Serina is a tomboy and class clown. She doesn't want to be identified as a girl. Nothing makes her more happy then to make others laugh. But Toyohara might get in her way by telling his own jokes.

All the stories are cute but really lack depth, which what a lot of oneshots suffer from. It's just more of oh I'm in love with this person for no reason kind of thing, except "Children Salad". I really liked the art. My favorite was the authors soft tones in "Love Mates".
