Iori Tanaka works in a big company and has a bad habit of dating married men. After just another painful break-up she gets drunk in a local bar and ends up sleeping with a bar employee — 18-year-old Minami Sendou.
These two girls are total opposites of each other. Iori is a well-employed OL with a decent family situation, but is a bit lazy and prone to drinking at home, while Minami is a former delinquent with an abysmal home situation but good housekeeping skills and a dominant character. Still, they decide to move together and pursue their relationship.
Fuzoroi no Renri (不揃いの連理, lit. Rationalism of Irregularities) is a yuri manga written by Mikanuji. First published on the author's Twitter account since June 3, 2017, and on the author's Pixiv account on June 14, 2017. The series has been published in book format by Kadokawa since March 14, 2019. Yen Press licensed it in 2022 under the name Assorted Entanglements.
Fuzoroi no Renri contains examples of:
- Age-Gap Romance: Not as significant as it could be, but Iori is in her mid-20s while Minami is 18. Later chapters introduce Kujo-sensei, a high-school PE teacher and one of her pupils as a potential love interest.
- Drowning My Sorrows: Iori has a tendency to drink in a local bar after each break-up. Though, she is a bit of Hard-Drinking Party Girl in general.
- Gamer Chick: Both Heke and Shinohara/Lala. Though, the former started playing online FPS only to get closer to the latter. While the latter was also a famous streamer.
- Like Brother and Sister: Minami and Shizuku's relationship is complicated to say the least but they both care deeply for one another and are the closest thing to a real family either has.
- Office Romance: The third couple (sort of), Heke is a mangaka, while her love interest Shinohara/Lala is also her editor. Though, it is sort of invoked as it was Heke's plan all along to get closer to her idol both in-game and because of work.
- Opposites Attract: The main couple and 3 introduced potential couples fall to this trope character-wise. Though, they tend to have similar interests.
- Rotating Protagonist: The plot rotates fairly regularly between various couples, with a pretty much different character's perspective in each chapter.
- Second Love: While it's pretty ambiguous what the exact nature of Saori's feelings for her sister Iori or Shizuku's feelings for Minami is, what is certain is that the two came together because they consoled each other on their lost love.
- Slap-Slap-Kiss: Iori and Saori are rather quick to hit their significant other when angry, though this is always Played for Laughs.
