Surprisingly good. Well-written, with good pacing. The premise of a wife and husband living with in-laws seems pretty unusual to me, as an American, but it's a light-hearted, simple premise. The wife is trying hard to learn housework and cooking, so she's pretty endearing. But the husband is a horrible person. He lies to his wife and family about where he was going on a business trip, and then he doesn't return when he said he would. Instead, he leaves for multiple months and only lets everyone know with a casette tape (when they don't even have a way to listen to it without relying on neighbors). He is one of the cruelest characters I have encountered in manga. If my new husband did this to me, I would divorce him. There's also some confusion about whether or not they're married. They haven't had a ceremony and don't have the paperwork done, but they're still claiming to be married. I also hate the younger sister, who goes out of her way to ruin her sister-in-law's efforts. She doesn't bother to get to know her brother's new wife and immediately hates her and wants to break them up.

I got intrigued because I loved "the way of the house husband" and was expecting some genderbend situation here. 

It sorta is. But it isn't funny . 
And where's my drama ? 
Overall pretty meh about this.

I think it funny because of the fish out of water idea of a former girl gang member trying to be a housewife, but I didn't find it that funny. The art is good, and I liked the girl gang designs and squat postures. The information on Japanese domestic life was interesting, but not enough to continue writing.
