I've read a few volumes of this and it gets weirder, not a favourite. The mangaka does some really insane, high-octane sex-jokes-galore stuff - but I think the raunchy humour inexplicably works better when it's the heroine being a pervert (which is the case in most of her other mangas) and not the other way around.

The dominance stuff doesn't bug me, but the insane set-up does. WTF????

Also, heroine, if someone asks you if you are a virgin at a job interview and the job description isn't "being a terminally ill billionaire's virgin wife", you should run. It really is a bad sign and in the United States will get the employer sued.

Have you read it? Because if not, I'm adding it to that stack of books I have to send you.

And that's just it, really. There was nothing about the situation that required her to stay after that, and the other interviewers thought it was wrong, too.

No, I haven't. This has the same dreadful fascination for me that the Thai 'rape is love' lakorns do.

The hero really sounds like a prize - treating her like crap is not a good way to anyone's heart everywhere but manga/drama/romance-novel world. I mean, when I used to wonder what guy I'd marry "man who treats me like dirt" was never on the list of qualifications but maybe I was just odd.
