The everyday comedy manga 「ヨメトメ★にっき ~専業主婦歴30年の姑との日々~」 (Yometome Nikki — Daily Life with a 30-Year Veteran Housewife Mother-in-Law) by Momose Junya (桃聖純矢) officially released its first volume on May 22.
Story
Haruka, a freelance writer who works from home, leads a quiet, relaxed life alongside her husband in the neighborhood of Nezu (根津) — a place steeped in the old atmosphere of Shitamachi, Tokyo. Their newlywed home sits just a short walk from her in-laws’ house, and that house belongs to her mother-in-law — a woman with an imposing presence and impeccable standards.
Haruka is the type who lives by the motto “if it can be put off, put it off” — not one to be bound by rules. Her mother-in-law, on the other hand, cleans the house every single day without fail and prepares fresh home-cooked meals three times a day with her own hands. At first glance, the two seem like they could never get along.
Yet the story delights in unexpected twists: when the strict mother-in-law begins to take an interest in smart appliances and frozen ready-made meals filling Haruka’s home, the differences that once seemed like walls become bridges — connecting this unlikely daughter-in-law and mother-in-law pair in surprisingly heartwarming ways.
