This week I spent basically all of my free time reading わたしの幸せな結婚. I honestly picked this one up just based on the cover art and the fact that it was a best-seller that I had never heard of. I’m about 40% of the way through now and I can easily see why it was so popular. I’ve heard it described as “Meiji-era Cinderella” and that’s not a bad description but it’s definitely an oversimplification. The two main characters are really great; he doesn’t believe in love (having spent his adult life being pursued for his wealth and status) and she doesn’t believe herself worthy of love (having spent her entire life being treated as a slave). Both of them are wrong, of course, and the development has been really sweet. It reminds me a bit of ねねね in some ways, which was a nice surprise.

I also watched 19 episodes of ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 part 4. As always, not a lot to say here.
