The Story ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ Marriage should be the union of two people in love who are ready to live together forever in happiness. Or so she thought. That's the story of how Ura became a shut-in after marriage.The story of Hikikomori Niizuma is good. It's an autobiography of the struggles that the author faced with her own marriage. I like how it's not only dark but the author inserts some comical relief to break some of the heavy vibes.Although the story is pretty depressing. I think it's important to say that the story does end on a positive note. It even has a pretty good message at the end, and I felt that it was worth my time.

The Art Style ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ The art style is pretty simple. That's the first serialization of the author, and her character design is pretty good. Proportions were pretty well done, and I especially liked how the art got more serious and detailed when she's trying to be more serious.
(Shoujo/Josei.jpg)Backgrounds are very lacking. Sometimes it's just white or dark panels, but as a first serialization and as it is focused on the drama. It wasn't a huge loss for me.

The Characters ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ There are a very small number of characters in this manga. Ura, her husband, and a few friends. Anything besides Ura isn't very developed, with just a few mentions of her partner mentality here and there.As I always like to talk about the main characters, Ura was good. Although the work is an autobiography, it gets pretty dark and depressive. I was able to feel empathy towards her and understand her struggles.
