I Married My Best Friend to Shut My Parents Up

by Kodama Naoko

Morimoto, a young professional woman in Japan, is tired of fending off her parents’ questions about her being single. They want her to marry a man and settle down, and they’ll insist on nitpicking her choice of groom to death. In an unexpected move, another woman in the office - who has a crush on her - offers to be her wife in a sham marriage, which might make her parents back off. But this “fake” marriage could unearth something very real!

A sweet story about standing up to parental expection and being open about what you want. This manga is pretty short and straightforward, and I found myself wishing it was longer. Even the pretty slim English volume had a second story added to the back to pad its length.
