Himekoi (MITSUYA Bond)

Complete | MITSUYA Bond | 2020 released

childhood best friends kanata and kuro perform a marriage ceremony, as per the tradition of their ancestors for the prosperity of their village. i loved nearly everything about it. i thought it would be similar to muri marriage given the premise, but it was completely different. i enjoyed the main story, and also enjoyed the fathers' story (though it did leave me with heartburn). i do like how they addressed kanatas consent to such a tradition and overall, this was such a nice read. only qualm that bumped this from a 5 to 4 star was the dubcon and numerous questions surrounding the mothers' fates.
