The Full-Time Wife Escapist (逃げるは恥だが役に立つ, Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu, lit. Running away is shameful, but useful) is a Japanese romance josei manga series written and illustrated by Tsunami Umino. The original title is from a Hungarian proverb szégyen a futás, de hasznos, Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈse̝ːɟɛnɒ ˌfutɑ̈ːʃ dɛ ˈhɒsnoʃ].[1] It was published by Kodansha, with serialization in Kiss magazine since November 9, 2012[2] and eleven volumes released across the whole series timeframe.[3]
The series later got a live-action adaptation that began airing on TBS in October 2016, with Yui Aragaki and Gen Hoshino as the leads. Viki has licensed the series in North America. Aragaki and Hoshino, the leads, would go on to marry in real life.[4]
