Story Overview
Wife and Wife is a fluffy, sweet, and lovey-dovey story about:
– Long time partner living together
– Surrounded by supportiveand queer friends and family member
– Going beyond co-living to get married!
Key Themes
Defining their relationship of equal footing:
Set in a modern world context where same sex couples have no marriage option, that didn’t stop Kinana from wanting to have a different status from the usual lovers relationship.
While Sumi initially frets over it, she was reassured that Kinana just want something to define this elevated next step in their life, which is living together.
Wife and wife came about after they both agree that it suits them, even though it seems weird at first. This equal footing in their relationship reflects their optimistic commitment to each other, in their own way.
Appreciating simple joys:
Living together is a completely new experience to both Kinana and Sumi, and they both have different opinions on what is important to add to their new home.
For instance, upgrading from separate futons to a shared bed didn’t seem high on the list for Sumi. She was won over by Kinana’s excitement in the end, getting a bed along with other non-essential purchases.
This would not be the last time Sumi faces such a dilemma, but she always ends up happy with the outcome. Nothing seems unreasonable in the face of the joy and appreciation they both get.
Personal Review
This is a super heatwarming and sweet story that never fails to cheer me up! While the story does introduce 2 other cute lesbian couples with their quirks, it mainly revolves around Sumi and Kinana. Everyone seem so lovey-dovey it feels impossible to imagine any of them in real life!
That is the beauty though, to be reminded that life can be hopeful and easier when you are together with your precious loved one. That everyday interactions can be uplifted with the right person and their silly reactions. That love can be so simple yet makes your heart flutter.
Final Thought
Wife and Wife is one that I know I look forward to reading when I need some sweet and easy yuri read that makes me go awww when life gets annoying at times. Some may find the story cheesy, but that is exactly why I like it because we should not lose our trust to find such love, be it from yourself or others. Go on, be silly and love your life!
My Rating: 10/10 highly recommended!
May this new year brings you hope for the kind of love you seek!
