This manga makes it easier to understand why Japan is facing a low birthrate demographic crunch. On the one hand the art is cute, and the humor is sprinkled in well and only occasionally too over the top. But the gimmick around (MARRIED!) young lovers being so embarrassed and unsure about how to act on their feelings of love and desire is starting to wear thin. In addition, one of the twists to this series was the mystery of exactly who Tsukasa is and that plotline has been totally abandoned in this volume. I have enough goodwill wrapped up in the good art and adorableness of the main couple to keep reading this, but I hope this volume is only a mid-series slump.
**Thanks to the artist, author, and Netgalley for a free coy in exchange for an honest review.
I continue to love and adore the adventures of Nasa and Tsukassa! They truly are a sweet couple. learning more and more about each other. This volume was a solid entry, and I can't wait for the next one. I always have a good time with these two cuties!
Super cute volume, things get a little hot and heavy too. I really liked how showed how marriages can be tough when a partner is awhile for awhile. Also, the narrator is the best.
Poucas páginas, mas foi incrível, pena que em pouco tempo li todo ele e os demais, ficando um gostinho de quero mais, espero que em breve tenha mais... Adoro mangá e esse é um que vale muito ler, pois é uma forma divertida de ver a vida a dois sem toda aquele teor sexual, ele tem um conteúdo suave e muito coerente então torna tudo maravilhoso... Pena que acabou... Mas em breve espero que tenha mais...
Nasa and Tsukasa flirt and act cute and have many sweet moments together. As they have previously and will undoubtedly in the future. I can’t make something out of nothing, seriously.
Come for the cute, stay for the cute. Become one with the cute. That’s all there is here - any story basically exists as a couple of two parters that then wrap up and move on to the next thing the book wants to riff on.
And that’s fine. I seem to be besieged by perfectly acceptable light content right now and this is definitely smack dab in that wheelhouse. Two newlyweds who didn’t have a proper courtship find their way.
It’s not bad at all - it’s hard to believe we’re on volume 7 or something this slight - but I guess that just shows the deft hand of the writer? Maybe? Something like that. Getting this much mileage from a domestic that has vague hints of magic now and then (incredibly, incredibly minor [and vague]) is sort of praiseworthy.
Kaname’s relentlessly filthy mind is pretty consistently amusing - she instigates a very bashful kissing demo between Tsukasa and Nasa that gets adorably out of hand. When Tsukasa can’t admit she misses Nasa things take yet another turn for the adorable. Things are adorable, that’s what they are here. You just sit, waiting for it to hit.
I think the funniest joke comes down to our pair accidentally spying on an intimate moment and discussing the invasion of privacy, only for Nasa to find out shortly thereafter that he has exactly no privacy outdoors himself (the delivery of this was very, very satisfying).
There you go, the book happened. I will read the next one. There will be blushing and occasional goofing around and it will please me and I will have to come up with yet another way to describe the whole thing.
3 stars - not as funny as it’s been, but no less enjoyable. This is basically the manga equivalent of meringue - it whips something sweet out of very simple ingredients and has no nutritional content and isn’t really all that filling.
Tsukasa and Nasa make a wonderful couple, both so young, and so in love. They know what they want, and set about achieving it. It seems they still haven't "gone all the way", but they do have a rather fun time giving each other massages, and they have a fun makeout session. The pervy bath girl, Kaname, she is bound and determined to get our two lovebirds to do the deed, and she of course wants to know every little detail. Later, Tsukasa convinces her hubby to accompany her to the grand finale from M*rvel St*dios, "*ndg*me" they even do a movie marathon to prepare. Tsukasa's younger sister, Chitose, she's really toned down her stalking of Tsukasa and Nasa, other than to hear the latest gossip from her battle maids, who frequent the bathhouse where Tsukasa and Nasa live. There's also a hint of a Yuri relationship forming between the two battle maids. It will be interesting to see where that heads. All in all, another enjoyable volume of one of my most favorite series.
Just when it seems the series might actually take a few steps forward in Nasa and Tsukasa's relationship, Hata-sensei must have thought that after 7 volumes that was still moving faster than the speed of light and decides to jump back 10 paces.
Look, the series is cute, the characters are pretty adorable... but the bumbling and stumbling of this married couple (for SEVERAL volumes now) has gone way beyond where cuteness can save it. Not to mention the whole idea of Tsukasa's background. (Marginally hinted at on their way to the hotspring, but again totally ignored).
This is a series I want to like. I like the concept, but am finding myself more and more put off the above mentioned things.
Whilst this series started off a kind of cute and kind of funny, it feels like it’s going nowhere now and is starting to drag a little. Considering main girl’s origins is the overarching mystery, it’s insane that we’ve got nothing but vague hints seven volumes in. Sure the hints seems to lead in a pretty obvious direction but it’s absurd that we haven’t got anything substantial yet. Sure, this series is predominantly slice of life, but slice of life can only go so far before it becomes repetitive and one-note. And this series was never particularly original from the get-go. Hopefully something happens soon. Wholesome relationship shenanigans can only do so much for me before I want progress.
In this volume, Tsukasa and Nasa deal with separation, Chitose wonders about their relationship, the couple goes to see a movie, Nasa helps Aya study for her final exams, Tsukasa gives Nasa a massage, the couple explore different types of kisses, they accidentally witness Nasa's former teacher with her boyfriend, and the couple visits a hot spring together. #FlyMetotheMoonVol7 #NetGalley
I continue to enjoy this slice of life series but feel like it has slowed down quite a bit. That isn't necessarily a bad thing but I do hope that the next volume either progresses the story more or the relationship more.
The perfect series to relax and turn your brain off to, Fly Me To The Moon has been such a staple in my collection this past year. Excited to see what kind of fun times Nasa and Tsukasa get into on their vacation.
Nasa goes back to his old job to help out for the day, and it turns into an all nighter. Tsukasa tries not to feel lonely, but not texts or calls all day leave her missing her husband. She can’t sleep that night, so she’s awake at 4am when he gets home. The loneliness has gotten to her, and she asks for cuddles and kisses, which is more than she’s ever asked for before. Nasa happily obliges! Later, a movie that totally isn’t Endgame is coming out, and Tsukasa is dying to see it opening day in the theater so she can avoid spoilers. She and Nasa also prepare by watching a few movies before, and Nasa appreciated how into the story Tsukasa gets. Nasa and Tsukasa, separately, receive a whole list of what kisses mean when they’re given to a partner on different parts of the body, like the neck, forehead, arm, even the belly *blush*. Later, the two can finally go on a honeymoon, thanks to some raffle tickets to a Hot Springs, but that means they’ll actually be alone … together … on a trip …
