"Something's Wrong With Us" is a wild ride of a story. It is suspenseful, exciting, and just bizarre. If you love mangas with crazy drama, unhinged characters, and plot twists, definitely give this one a read. I highly recommend that you read it all the way through before developing an opinion on the story or characters, as the plot has a lot of layers to it. That's one of the best parts of the story! It's a bit of a murder mystery, and I had no idea what to expect or who to pin the blame on because of the plot twists and constant revelations—butit was a fun journey to get to the conclusion. It felt a bit like a soap opera, and almost like an enemies-to-lovers romance. You'll have to keep track of who's who and who did what, but I read it all at once and didn't find that too difficult. I think to enjoy this story, you'll have to be someone who enjoys drama and crazy character personalities. Otherwise, you may just hate everyone, haha. I also really enjoyed the beautiful illustrations of the Japanese confectionaries that had a frequent role in the story. They were fun to learn about and made me want to try them myself! Overall I enjoyed this story and all the suspenseful drama it featured. Lots of fun to read!
As a child, Nao Okura loved nothing more than being beside her mother when she made wagashi: traditional Japanese sweets. Her mother found a live-in position as a wagashi maker at Kogetsuan—a shop that had been founded over four hundred years ago—and it was there that Nao met the heir to the shop, Tsubaki Takatsuki, a radiant boy who filled her childhood with light. The warmth and love of those days, however, comes to an abrupt halt when tragedy strikes, and Nao's mother is arrested for a crime she didn't commit, with Tsubaki's testimony landing her in jail. Fifteen years later, Nao—now living as Nao Hanaoka—is working as a wagashi maker at a reputable establishment, though soon her path leads her back to Kogetsuan and Tsubaki. The formerly cheerful boy has grown into a cruel man, and Nao's encounters with him show that very little of her friend remains, and that he doesn't seem to recognize her. Shockingly, Tsubaki asks Nao to marry him, believing her talent can change Kogetsuan's wagashi for the better. Nao agrees, wishing to use the situation to get access to Kogetsuan and find out the truth behind what really happened 15 years ago. So begins their marriage of convenience, but could it ever turn into something more? [Written by MAL Rewrite]
