Fly me to the Moon vol 3 by Kenjiro Hata

​Nasa wants to move into a bigger apartment so that he and Tsukasa can sleep in one large bed instead of their current arrangement - him in the bed and she on the floor next to him.  In order to get a bigger apartment, they'll need a guarantor - which means Nasa is going to have to tell his parents he got married, something he's neglected to do yet.  Nasa's parents insist on meeting his wife before they do anything, so the couple must travel from Tokyo to Nara.  They stop over in Kyoto to do some sightseeing.  Along the way, the couple realizes that Chitose, Tsukasa's "sister" is following them and trying to sabotage and/or understand why they got married in the first place.  Chitose steals Nasa and demands he take her around Kyoto as if they were dating in order for her to see why Tsukasa fell in love with him.

---

Hata continues to hint that there is something different about Tsukasa, but we are nowhere near understanding what that is.  The mystery, plus the absolute adorable nature of this story, is really keeping me entertained.  Tsukasa and Nasa continue to have cute moments where both are blushing uncontrollably.  They are starting to become more comfortable with each other as a couple, but that extends to hand holding and kissing at the moment.  While Nasa may have thoughts of consummating the marriage, he gets far too nervous just kissing her or holding her as she sleeps to really get too far.
