Married off to a man more than twenty years her senior, Koyuki has no idea what her new life has in store for her. She's so in the dark, in fact, that she hasn't even seen her husband's face! But Koyuki isn't alone in fumbling through the intricacies of wedded bliss. Mask-donning Shin might have many years on his young wife, but as it turns out, he's just as naive as she is! Will this pair of innocents ever get past their awkwardness (and the age gap)?! 

I'll admit straight away that I didn't realise this was a one-off volume, nor was I entirely sure what to expect from it! It's a slice of life, but it's historical which explains the age gap in the main characters, because I was curious about how that came about if this was modern day! 

Our main characters are Koyuki and Shin. Shin wears a mask and he can see fairies and other creatures, which was a nice little twist. I kind of wish we'd gotten to explore that more but we did get to see some sprites and dragons...and they even adopt a little baby dragon. 

I liked the fact that we got the POV of both characters, it was fun and provided some hilarity as you could see how they're quite similar in how they react, and think, and how they're dealing with each other. They're just so awkward with each other, I had to laugh. 

Koyuki wasn't at all what I was expecting to be honest, I expected her to not be all that happy about this little situation, but she's way more in to the whole thing than I thought she was going to be! 

Ne Ne Ne is a cute little volume, they're so awkward with each other initially, but you do see them relax a little bit and get more comfortable. It's funny, it's cute, and it's easy to read. Plus the art is nice, and the colour pages are beautiful!
