The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife (透明男と人間女～そのうち夫婦になるふたり～)

Welcome!

Every time I pass by here, I smell such lovely flowers!

I've been so curious!

As have I.

Shizuka-san, please pick a flower you like.

What? I'm allowed to pick?!

Yes, of course.

What will it be?

H-How about... roses?

We happen to have wonderful roses today.

Really?!

Well, then... we'll take three.

All right.

Darling, wrap these up!

Sure thing, honey.

They'll be taking these.

He's a big guy!

Sure.

He sounds like he's high up...

Are you married?

Yes. I'm human, and my husband is an oni.

We have an interspecies marriage.

An interspecies marriage... and we're an interspecies couple...

YAKO - TONOME

That's right. You're the one who always stops in front of our shop, right?

I-I'm sorry I never come in...

Hey, it's fine. We're happy you stopped by today.

Here you are.

The baby's breath is on the house.

Why, thank you!

It's amazing that he can wrap flowers with those huge hands...

Where in the office shall I place them?

I can't wait to see.

Thank you for coming!

Maybe on the table?

Yes, because it's the center of the room!

The office is instantly transformed into a healing space!

That reminds me. Have you always liked roses?

Oh, well...

I've taken a liking to them since you gave me one, Akira-san.

You can say the most incredible things off the cuff, Shizuka-san.

Well, let's put them on the table, then.

Yes, of course!

Wh-What just happened?!

Sorry!

It's because I kicked the tree.

Oh, I'm sure it's not.

You can't make a sound like that just by kicking a tree.

What are you talking about?

Can't you tell from the horn?

You're from a species with horns?

I actually can't see.

Oh, that explains that.

Hold out your hand. I'll help you up.

Of course!

You're very strong, aren't you? Thank you for your help.

I'm an oni-human mix.

Oni are strong, but I'm still pretty bad at controlling my strength.

May I ask why it is that you kicked a tree?

I was feeling frustrated.

I was playing with friends, and...

I only meant to tap her, but I still go too hard sometimes.

I don't wanna play if I'm just gonna make people cry, so I slipped away.

How cool! Like a lone wolf!

I'm really not.

But I don't think isolating yourself is really a good solution.

But... what should I do, then?

Let's see...

Yu! Where have you been?

We looked everywhere!

It's her fault for crying and say she didn't wanna play with you, right?

It's Yu's fault!

Yeah, he made you skin your knee...

L-Listen...

How about we use this?

A cattail?

I can tag you with it and not hurt you.

L-Like this.

Well?

Well, I guess that's okay.

That'd help with my claws, too.

Let's all use them for the game!

But it'll be hard to notice we've been tagged with those.

That's true.

How about making bundles?

Yeah, I've got rubber bands!

I'm back!

Welcome home!

I just can't get a handle on it.

What's up, Tonome-chan?

Hey, it's that guy again!

Yes, my client believes someone's smuggling

their product to sell on the black market.

He's one of the suspects.

Hey, hey! Did my curse come in handy?

Well, he didn't do anything suspicious that day.

So it didn't matter at all?!

Excuse me!

Welcome. Is that you, Yu-kun?

Yeah! Hi, Yako-oneechan!

Hello!

Thanks for having me today!

What's all this?

He's interviewing us about our jobs. For school, apparently.

Yes.

We run an agency, so let me introduce you to the staff.

He's someone you know?

He's the son of a florist couple we've gotten to know.

Okay!

Tonome-san, this is Yu Kemauchi. He'll be learning about our office today.

Nice to meet you!

It's a pleasure.

I'm Tonome, the head detective here.

Is something the matter?

Nothing.

I was thinking I've seen this guy.

You have?

Yeah.

I was playing with my friends

and he yelled at me like, "You can't be here!"

Was it a dangerous area?

Do you remember where you were?

Yeah.

I see. This area, eh?

So what kind of job do you do, Yako-oneechan?

Yes, most likely.

I handle the office finances and manage everyone's schedules.

I'll scope it out.

If we catch him in the act, we've got him.

Won't it be dangerous?

I'll arrange an escort.

Yako-san.

I'm heading out.

Take care!

Hey, are they going to the place I said?

I couldn't say!

Yako-oneechan, thanks for the interview.

Is that all you needed?

I'm sure Jarashi-san will be back any minute now...

Nah, it's fine.

I'm heading home.

Later!

I'm gonna tail this detective!

It's my chance to see what the job's really about!

I'll get a great report out of this!

I know. I'll get pics too!

Huh? He's gone!

I just lost sight of him for a second!

What the...

Was that Yu-kun?

I sensed someone following me...

I didn't think he'd come after me.

That's not safe. I'll get some distance and change my route there.

Now, then...

So it's somewhere around there?

How much are we shipping?

Too much at once'll be suspicious.

We'll have to break it up.

When's payment?

There he is.

After receipt. I'll hand it over after it checks out.

That must be the group he's selling to.

I want one lump sum at the end.

This is my chance to catch him in the act.

Got it.

The shift changes today are evening and late night.

Hey! What the hell are you doing?!

Slippery little brat...

C'mere!

I-I wasn't doing anything! I was just looking for something!

I didn't do anything wrong!

This little brat was taking pictures of us!

Y-Yu-kun...

Sneaking around the area, too.

I wasn't doing anything!

Hey, we can't let those pics get out.

I just remembered!

He was hanging around here yesterday as well!

Hey, someone send you to spy on us?

No!

This little brat's pretty strong...

Yeah, he's an oni. Be careful.

That's right. If I struggle too much, I could hurt them!

Hey, he settled down.

Take his phone and lock him in the back room.

C'mon, now.

I deleted the pics on his phone. What now?

Let's contact the execs for now.

What about the boss?

He'll be here soon.

This is getting out of control.

What do I do? What's going to happen to me?

Well, what can you do?

We can sell this kid for good money!

No, let's throw him in the ocean so he can't tell no one!

Shut up! Quit crying!

Pipe down already!

Are you all right?
