This was different from the manga I usually read. I really enjoyed it though. It was a little weird reading about a teacher and student relationship, but I got over that. It's such a taboo topic, but this was really well done. I've found that I'm hooked and I can't wait for the second volume! The artwork was amazing - some of the best I've seen in manga!

I'm French, I apologize in advance for the english's mistakes. 
It's a little bit difficult to say if you like the first book of a mangas saga without read the others so I'll try to be clear as possible. First, I would say that I love the drawing, they are beautiful and they help to go inside the book and create a special atmosphere to the story. 
Concerning the story, it seems interesting (particularly with the end of the book, I can't wait to know how it'll end) and I'm very curious to read the second volume ! 
On the other hand, I have more difficulties with the characters. Yua is very endearing and her situation, very sad. But I  would have liked further details on his teacher, I find he is not really present (maybe it'll change in the rest) and I've some difficulties with Subaru. I think it's because we absolutely don't know to what he is thinking ! And it's frustrating ! I hope I will understand his behavior later because if he is irritating me, he is also an intriguing character ! 
I think I've said everything and to conclude I recommend this manga as a great discovery !

Beautiful art for a controversial story line. A high school student has a romantic relationship with her male professor who marries her in secret after the girl's grandmother dies and she is left alone. What is the need for secrecy since she quite openly moves in his husband's house is beyond me, but that is the least surprise. The biggest surprise is that one of her schoolmates, a boy just her age, is her husband's secret son who slowly falls for her too. The plot gets complicated and the series is just at the beginning...

**It is 3.5 stars**

Thank you Netgalley and Akita Publishing Co., Ltd. for letting me review this book!! ^_^

Before Thoughts:
I don't particularly like the student and teacher sort of romance together since it's a little inappropriate. However I do think the art looks good and I kind of want to read to find out the secret the teacher is hiding from Yua. 

Review : 
Read on: 05/31/18

Plot: 
This story is about a student named Yua who is dating her teacher. She mostly fell for him not because he was kind of handsome for a man in his 30s, but because he was kind and concerned about her whenever she was dealing with the losses of her parents. And then her grandma (which is her only family left) died in the hospital and she felt all alone and sad again. Then her teacher/love decides he wants to marry her and have her live with him. (They just have to keep things quiet)

Also what happens when you find out that one of your classmates was your teacher's son?? You get an awkward family situation that you have to make the best of. 

Character(s): 
Yua: 
She's a girl who dreams of being married and living a happy life as someone's wife. She wants to have a boy who she will raise to be a gentleman. But of course that probably won't happen if your Sensei had a kid with his previous ex-wife. She has the fear that all her family and ones that she loves will leave her. And as Sensei's new wife she has to try and get along with her stepson/classmate. :p

Subaru: 
Her classmate, Sensei's son/Yua's stepson. He happens to model, he's a distant person at times, tends to be grumpy, and is possible a vegetarian. He is part of the awkward family and love triangle between Yua, himself, and his dad. 

Final Thoughts: 
It gets incredibly awkward real fast, and you can already see that it will present a very awkward love triangle. I like that the teacher, classmate/stepson, and Yua are trying to get along like a family would and I hope that it really eases in as it goes on. 

Although I may or may not continue the rest of this series, especially since it is chock full of cliches seen in many shoujo manga. Though if it eased off the awkwardness a little I might like it a bit more. 

Recommends to: 
You like cliches seen in shoujo manga maybe you'll be okay with this. But fair warning it has a student and teacher relationship. (Though to be fair they are honestly one of the more pure hearted kinds of these relationships compared to other manga featuring student and teacher relationships.)

But either way expect some discomfort here and much much awkwardness. 

If you'd rather avoid this one maybe look at Papillon 1 by Miwa Ueda instead. It's also full of cliches and drama, but the age gap is much smaller which kind of lowers the awkwardness just a smidge. :p 

Hope you enjoyed my review!! Thanks for reading!! ^_^ 
And go catch that good book!! ^_^

ARC Copy...I understand its trying to be an interesting concept with twists but I felt it weird and somewhat inappropriate.

The idea on which this manga is based upon is creepy and makes me totally uncomfortable. But that is just me.

L'idea di base di questo manga non mi fa sentire a mio agio e questa comunque é solo la mia opinione.

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

Oh wow! What a love triangle! 
Yua is a high school girl in a secret relationship with her teacher. But one day her grandmother, her last surviving family member, passes away and leaves her all alone in the world. And then, her beloved Sensei, supporting her again as he always has, asks her to marry him. She’s convinced that she’s about to begin a happy newlywed life, but it turns out Sensei has a huge secret...?! Sensei's son happens to be the boy at school that Yua despises... or is he her crush? Sensei is afraid that a boy her age will steal Yua away from him. But does he suspect his own son to be the culprit?
Dripping with drama and romance, this graphic novel really turns the heat up. Skillfully written and story boarded. Easy to follow dialogs. Beautifully drawn illustrations. 
The ending leaves you on a cliffhanger that will make you curse out loud LOL 😉

This title was clumsily written and the 15 year age difference can be a little much. Often I kept forgetting that her classmate was her teachers son not younger brother. However after giving it a chance and getting to the last page, I realized that I enjoyed the cute back and forth and I am looking forward to finding out what happens next.

Thank you to Netgalley and publisher for the book in exchange for an honest review.

I think this manga was very well illustrated. I loved the art work. It has such a cute plotline. This is book one, so I will be moving on to the others in this series. I believe there are 3 out in the series at this point. I highly enjoyed it. There were some issues with it the manga but I am hoping as the series continues it will get better.

There's a reason why I try to avoid shoujo and The Lion and the Bride kind of proves why I should do that in the future too. The manga is quite basic and plays so many cliches it's not even funny. Yua is in a relationship with her much older teacher and when she loses the last of her family, her Sensei decides to marry her (!). The surprise is that Sensei has a cocky son that's in Yua's class and of course we'll have a love triangle. The story is very Japanese as Yua's only dream is to become a good wife and whatnot. The only thing that's quite different is the marriage, although it makes no sense. The whole thing is so abrupt and weird that it just baffles. The series consists of three parts, which actually surprises me. I just find the whole "should I pick the father or the son" situation creepy and because of the short length, this will hurry the plot. Yua is still a kid herself.

The cover looks better than the art. The art is slightly crude and the panels are mostly empty and feel like lacking. Sakurano's manga is thus very basic and offers nothing new and the situation could've been juicy, really. Now is just off-putting that the teacher is an old pervert, since he looks young, but even when he had his son at a young age, he's still at least over thirty or almost forty. I don't know if I even want to know what happens, since this is creepy.

The premise had the potential to be cute,  but in execution turned out to be cringe-y creepy face palm fodder.

There is so much to say about how amazing volume one of this manga was. The art was fantastic, for starters, and the wordbubbles was easy to understand and flowed well. I loved the characters and the plot! It built and headed in a direction I didn’t think it would. Going on ahead, I would like to see Yua’s relationship with Sensei developed more, however. Other than that, I think the characters have a powerful connection and one wrong move will lead to a deadly chain reaction (as with cliffhanger). When the cliffhanger at the very end came and I was completely blown away and wanted more. I wish I could buy the next volume to find out what happens.

Kinda inappropriate to buy for a school library but I'm sure shojo manga fans will find it..  Love the cover.  The colours and illustrations are gorgeous.

The art is very competent but the premise of this manga is so weird that I can't get into it at all. A high school girl is dating her (very young-looking) teacher, and after her last surviving family member dies he abruptly proposes marriage... but doesn't manage to tell her until after the wedding that he lives with his son from his previous marriage, who is her age and sits next to her in class. The prerequisite love triangle ensues. Unless you're actually looking for the teacher-student thing, just read Marmalade Boy instead.
