[Haikyuu!!] Ushijima's Wife Is an Otaku

Haikyuu!! / Ushijima as the male lead / Married first, in love later / A top-tier pampered-wife story

As the pretty but useless second daughter of the Tsuruya family, Suzu had no expectations for her marriage. Even marrying Ushijima-senpai didn't matter to her.

So she got married. Her husband was a good man.

He was honest and earnest, a little slow, and seemed easy to manage.

He was patient and gentle, let her spend as much as she liked so she could live comfortably, and considered her feelings in every way, treating her with respect. He was also faithful, never getting involved with other women.

Most importantly, as a famous volleyball player, her husband spent all year training and playing matches, and was rarely home.

She was completely free.

Suzu did a great job. In public, she played the part of a capable, Yamato Nadeshiko-style wife. When her husband came home, she would behave herself for a few days, making him think she was a gentle, quiet, dependable wife.

Apart from always getting bullied in certain bedroom activities, Suzu was very satisfied with her marriage.

Until one day, her husband came home without warning, his face tense as he showed her a photo. In it, a girl wore a gorgeous Lolita dress and dazzling makeup, striking a cute pose and smiling brightly at the camera.

The girl's face was identical to hers.

Ushijima: Was this you, Suzu?

Suzu: ...

Suzu: No. (Looks away) (Stubbornly denies it)

Ushijima: (Looks around) Then what's all this?

Unfinished chips and pizza, a game she hadn't had a chance to save, a drawing board tossed off to one side, a new doujinshi still in its wrapping on the desk, and the mess of the house all pointed to one thing.

She was done for.

*

Ushijima had a beautiful, gentle, considerate, generous wife, a woman who embodied every virtue in the world.

He believed his wife liked him.

Until Tendou reminded him: Goodness, can you really not tell she's been humoring you this whole time?

Ushijima: ...?

He began getting to know his wife all over again.

The more he learned, the more his brows furrowed.

So she was a geek.

So the handsome husband she often gushed about on social media was an anime character, not him.

So all the lovingly prepared meals she brought him were made by the housekeeper. She couldn't cook.

So her patience and kindness toward him were all an act. Every time she came home, she was actually hoping he'd leave.

She didn't like him at all.

A timid, well-behaved-on-the-outside hamster wife x an honest, hardworking, serious husband

She's not a Yamato Nadeshiko, she's a total two-dimensional character fan!

The heroine is a pampered young lady, adored by everyone, and forever happy without hardship. (She doesn't play volleyball either!)

My headcanon is everywhere. If you ask about the arranged marriage between the families, the answer is that it's my headcanon!

Married first, in love later. A proper pampered-wife story, an unbeatable, sugary-sweet romance!
