My Wife Is Wagatsuma-san, Vol. 2 is also free with ComiXology Unlimited, as is Vol. 3. On Amazon, Vol. 4 through Vol. 8 are $6.99 each, and Vol. 9 through Vol. 13 are $10.99 each, so you can read the whole series for just under $90. This blog is about whether you would want to. I'm definitely reading the first three volumes, as I've finished the first two, and the second ends on too much of a cliffhanger for me to skip the third volume.
Yes, there are some lame aspects to this manga. The premise is way too similar to How I Met Your Mother, a show I know only from commercials for it on football games. Sure, I read romcom manga, but I absolutely abhor romcom situation comedies on TV or in the movies. For me, light entertainment is reading, listening to music, or both at the same time. On the rare occasions when I do partake in movies or non-sports TV, it's almost always because I've been dragged into it by a friend or family member. Something else I don't like is how small the font is on some of the panels. I know this is typical of many manga, but my aged eyes aren't what they used to be, and I usually read comics and manga on a very small computer.
What I like most about the manga are Hitoshi and the two main girls, Silvia and Wagatsuma. As I mentioned in the review of Vol. 1, some series are meant to be formulaic, and Hitoshi is so similar to basically every shonen romcom manga star. The basic premise is: be good, and tons of beautiful women will fall in love with you, even if you act like a creep.
