Hello You ... yes, you start to read this amazing (webtoon or eBook) manga and think:
Well, what have I got myself into?! What is that romance dynamic? Hardly encountered one like that one... Well, reasonable questions and conclusion. And the answer is:
You got yourself into an authentic adult love story, telling us about a gemmy woman, Chako, who escaped an arranged marriage, your best cute girl, Futaba (even better than Anya) and your definitely not communication-skilled but (to me at least) still so very lovable man, Isshin. He definitely is not everyone's cup of "tea" aaahaha - but if you keep in mind that he has a story and past himself too, you may be able to understand his behavior. In fact, I strongly suspect he has an avoidant attachment style, which makes him more understandable.

This story, surrounded by the theme 'tea' as they live and work on a teafarm at a quick time together, gets your heart for the sake of its mature love- and realistic life-dynamic. It's not the usual manga that goes around right now, so this manga could be a bit irritating for some people, but this is exactly what I personally searched for. If you also searched for a manga you can follow with your mature but shy heart, this is the right one. Convince yourself.

Yamanaka Umebachi is an awesome Mangaka, don't underestimate her storytelling. She surprised me with a lot of moments in the manga I really did not expect!

As far as I am informed, UPDATE: there are now 40 chapters (10 volumes) translated into English, and soon it'll be more. Whom I can't wait for. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

There is plenty to like about this lovely adult romance with a cute tea theme! It starts with a bit of a contract relationship trope, as the two main characters each find a benefit in sticking together. However, the difference in their attitudes often puts them at odds with one other! Readers who enjoy slow burn romances and mangas that explore other subtopics (in this case, tea) may really enjoy Matcha Made in Heaven.

I think that the one thing I really enjoyed about this series is the maturity level, as the characters are often seen being more honest about things they thought previously differently about. There is a lot of character growth and development because of this, but be sure to keep this in mind while reading. I have a feeling some readers will be turned off by some of the ML's earlier personality traits—don't let it stop you, keep reading! Otherwise, you'll miss out on some important developments that help shape the story and romance.

The romance slowly becomes incredibly cute and sweet, and showcases some unexpected sides to the characters that are just so exciting! I also must mention that readers who enjoy mangas with scruffier male leads may rejoice when reading this series. Rather than the oh-so-common baby-faced male lead, this series features a love interest who is a bit burlier.
