* YuriGenre: Despite the title, Machi does end up developing feelings for Hana.

* SenpaiKohai: Machi and Hana's relationship. Hana generally calls Machi "Senpai."

* LongTitle: As you can see above. The original title translates to "I decided to fake a marriage with my junior (♀️) to shut my parents up."

* BuxomIsBetter: Given the mostly realistic setting, Machi is quite large-breasted for a Japanese woman (a G-cup). Hana openly admits both that she'd always been attracted by them, and that she's never been with anyone that large before.

* SempaiKohai: Machi and Hana's relationship. Hana generally calls Machi "Senpai."

* NoEnding: Machi starts developing feelings for Hana, and Hana decides not to move out, but apart from that, nothing is conclusively resolved. It serves as a mundane version of AndTheAdventureContinues by implying that their relationship will continue, but with her newfound estrangement from her parents, the manga's title no longer applies. Of course, considering that Mrs. Morimoto paid Machi a visit late in the manga, after Machi had announced her "marriage" to Hana, what will happen between her and her parents is anyone's guess.

* StayInTheKitchen: One of Machi's superiors questions how wise it is to give her a big assignment if she's going to eventually get married and leave the company, saying that a male co-worker should get the experience. This is a well-known phenomenon in Japan's corporate culture, though it is fortunately becoming look down upon and more married women are working.

Machi Morimoto is a young professional woman who's grown tired of her parents pressuring her to marry a man of their choosing, knowing that they're only doing it so they can brag about their son-in-law. Enter her friend and former kohai, Hana Agaya, who needs a place to stay while her apartment's being renovated, and convinces Machi to fake a marriage with her as a way to solve both their problems. But there's a catch: while Machi is straight, Hana is gay, and both are aware that Hana was interested in her romantically back in school. Machi has to figure out how to deal with this new "relationship", as well as navigate her possibly changing feelings toward her "wife".

* TheirFirstTime: Subverted twice and played straight once. In the last chapter, Machi's willing to do this to prove she's not just messing with Hana's feelings, but Hana assures her that she doesn't need to pressure herself because, being married, they "have all the time in the world". Then in the denouement, ''Hana'' wants to play this straight on their "honeymoon" vacation, but Machi falls asleep. When they return home, she pouts until Machi forces her to admit what's wrong, which is followed by Machi apologizing and assuring Hana that she's ready ''now''. (They still aren't ''shown'' having sex, but it's clearly implied that it's about to happen.)
