It's astonishing that after so many years, no one wrote a review for this manga. This one was the victim of cancellation after hiatus, or rather, cancelled by hiatus, which is a crying shame. It's actually extremely funny, with the worst part being that it ends exactly on the type of "buy the next volume" cliffhanger that publishers love. Even though we'll never see the continuation, it's definitely a great stress release. I was laughing several times each chapter, and the whole slapstick comedy is nostalgic and entertaining.
Hinata Shinta is a brilliant, healthy (read as perverted) high school boy with incredibly bad luck. The
...
week before the manga starts involves his arm being broken and various life-threatening circumstances that he has narrowly survived. Truck-kun, in one of his roles before his breakout as the delivery service to isekai, was about to run him over when his life was saved... by a shinigami. A cute, perky shinigami convinced Shinta has to marry her. Shinta objects, since she is absolutely flat and he loves big boobs. Also, he doesn't want to die. His tsundere childhood friend Efumiya Himaru also objects. She is busty. Let the shenanigans start!
The art is nostalgic, reminiscent of the 90s style. It's extremely well-done, especially with the detailed shinigami effects as well as with the fanservice. Character reactions are quite funny and done well, and the slapstick escalates as Shinta presses the buttons of both his afterlife fiancee AND his childhood (probable) fiancee. The last chapters introduce Shinta's family, which would have amped up the mischief even further, but alas, this manga died via hiatus.
As long as the reader accepts there will be no conclusions, only a dose of slapstick and a sigh over what might have been, this is a fun read to while away time. The quality is definitely there, and this could have definitely been a hit if only it had continued.
