You may have never heard of this manga before but let me tell you something its straight up gold. The series was very interesting and different from other romance mangas Ive read before. The story basically is about a cringy high schooler named Hitoshi Aoshima who experiences time slips into ten years into the future in which he is married to prettiest girl in school Wagatsuma Ai. From the start we know how it will turn out ten years in the future but whether it happens or not depends on Aoshimas choices in the present. A story about total chaos begins.
The story is well written and constructed by KuraishiSensei and the artwork by NishikidaSensei suits the story well. The manga was quite refreshing from your regular romcoms because there isnt really much romance in there the manga is all about comedy and must I say its excellent. As someone who reads a lot of gag mangas this one is there on the top. But the comedy is mostly referential comedy and so we get tons of references of Japanese culture and other mangas. To be honest I didnt get Japanese pop culture references only understood a couple that the target demographic Japanese reader would probably understand so unless you actually know them the comedy feels lost sometimes.
Even with its referential comedy there are also some funny gags from time to time with some epic facial expressions. I cant count the times I burst into tears laughing at this manga the comedy is consistently funny making you laugh each chapter. The author also does well in avoiding your usual cliches which makes it more interesting to read. The story was well written and constructed by KuraishiSensei and the artwork by NishikidaSensei suits the story well.

Not gonna lie when I saw this for the first time I thought it was going to be yet another weak guy but good heart love harem. However this manga completely overthrows all that. The protagonist Aoshima has some major growth arc. He is a wimp acts awkward and even a chicken at times at the beginning but grows on to become more mature by funneling the main protagonist to make hard decisions in order to mature as a person.
The timeslip concept is really interesting since he cant live his life regularly since the tinniest decisions can affect Aoshimas future with Ai. Its not a winwin situation since he realizes soon that he isnt that powerful that even if he knows what is going to happen he change everything. He tries and tragically fails most of the time leading him to question his future with Ai but he realizes that no matter what decision he makes there will always be an apparent loss. All this makes his character growth even more gripping and keeps the reader hooked to the story. But other than Aoshima the other character dont really get any growth which was kind of a disappointment.
The art is also nothing special. It is inconsistent at times but the characters expressions were on point each time. They literally had me laughing all the time. One more thing is the female characters were well done they were really cute but because of the inconsistencies the art got slightly worse as the story progressed. But that never really bothered the overall story that much.
My wife is Wagatsumasan is a fun manga which is meant to be read for just laughs. Its not something groundbreaking or serious but its one of those manga you read when you just want to relax and read some dumb things. it has a few boring parts to it but overall its amazing. Youll most probably read and just forget it since theres nothing unique to it but youll also get a hit of nostalgia when stumble across after a few years as in my case.
As someone who like dumb comedy mangas I really enjoyed but if youre looking for a genuine romcom then this might not be the one. But people who do want to give this a go then I will 100 recommend it.
Thank you for reading.
