In the spring of 1936, 20-year-old Natsumi receives a marriage proposal from Takiaki Masashi, who works for the Imperial Navy. Suddenly, she is married to a Navy husband. The two, who are (quite) unfamiliar with the house as well as with men and women, begin their life as a married couple with a maximum degree of purity! When the sea breeze blows, I think of you. A story of a couple living in prewar Japan, spring, summer, fall, and winter, humble but gentle.
There is a drama adaptation that ran last year based on this manga as well!
Since this is a speed run book club, the formal end of this book club will occur on 2026-03-06T14:59:00Z, but feel free to continue with us afterwards, and if you’d be interested in continuing with a spin-off book club for the remaining volumes, let us know and the threads can be created!
Do you want to join us in the 波うららかに、めおと日和 speed run book club?
I’ll be joining together with the book club!
Joining after the book club has finished!
I’ve read the manga in the past already!
I’m reading the manga in a different language, but I still want to discuss!
Just lurking/discussing the plot!

Please use this thread for volume 1. All spoilers should go behind blurred spoiler tags or in the a hide details drop down.
Yeah they literally dropped that while I was in the middle of making the threads. I’ll probably update the club dates through 3/6, but I’m lazy right this second
I did update the link to the volume that’s free through the 6th.
I’m currently running Mokuro through the free volumes fetched from ebookjapan, I’ll also upload all three of them to manga-kotoba when I’m done, there’s currently two volumes here, so the vocab for the third should also be uploaded
sounds fun, i should try to get into this series really soon, thank you for setting up the threads! ^^
i’ll probably continue reading tomorrow, that’s such a wholesome comic ^^
it reminds me very much of those k-dramas where after entire three seasons they finally decide to hold hands with one another, except it’s just that feeling this whole volume~
I don’t think either of them would survive if he let her look up that word
I’m going to be good and not blast all the way through this in one evening… mostly because I have a bunch of other stuff I should be reading and not because I don’t want to.
I’m super glad this holds up in the manga bc the drama was so sweet and adorable, and honestly, if anything, the manga is even more so.
Had some time today and finished volume one in one swoop. It was quite good, I have to say.
I loved the military tidbits in between chapters.
Chapter 1
Ouch, not being there for the marriage ceremony. Different times…
His first impression is pretty cold. Doesn’t ask questions and just does what he thinks without telling anyone
Other chapters
I don’t know what you mean. They solidly held hands on their second day together. Every K-drama I know has to wait to at least to episode 4 or so for something that groundbreaking
Chapter3: I think I’m still not used to how much fuzz Japanese people make about calling each other by their first name.
When she goes to visit him at the base. SOOO fucking relatable. I first was like “huh, why does she announce herself as sister”. Then we see how it happened and I can relate so hard. I think I would end up in the exact same situation as her, given these circumstances XD.
I feel like he’s the perfect German. He has perfected the “問題ありません” way of praising others.
Yeah, wow, 4 months. What a strange life… At least he left a note.
I totally am too. I’ve started to notice that I’m not super good about reading all the extras like that even in English, so I’m just letting myself skip things I don’t want to read and not stress about it. It’s a comic book for fun after all!
I think I’m content with just the first volume
The start is similar to 幸せな結婚 (that’s what drew me in), but overall it looks more simple and healthy (also, no magic, which is usually difficult for me).
The language looked quite easy, I was pleasantly surprised. Looks Iike current level 23 on natively is about right. I mostly skipped omake though.
Thank you, @shitsurei for introducing this series and organizing the thread, and everyone for comments and screenshots!
