Synopsis
High school student Hojo Saito married his classmate, Sakuramori Akane, the girl who’s his worst enemy in school.

“If you tell the rest of the class we’re married, I’ll kill you”

“I don’t want them to know either. There’s no point in that.”

Their newlywed life wasn’t going so well, and they were constantly at odds. However, as they progress through their daily lives, the distance between them closes, they have more enjoyable moments together, and they gradually come to understand one another.

Saito learns about Akane’s cute side, which he never saw before, and Akane gradually began to recognize the feelings that she’s been keeping inside…

The heart-throbbing newlywed life of two people who just can’t seem to be honest with each other begins here!

My Thoughts
I've been reading this lately and its really fun. It's a nice fluffy and cute romcom series with a great comedic undertone showing how close the emotion of hate is to love. All the characters that have be introduced so far have been good additions to the series, Saito's cousin is a particular highlight often bringing some of the funnier moments in the series.

Volume 8 released last November.
I'm not used to Character Design credits for an LN, but upon checking out the preview at Bookwalker, no, really, this LN does have character design credits...

Wait, so the character designer is different from the artist? Why doesn’t the character designer just draw it?

that is typically the same person for most LN. this one is the unusual one.

That's a good question, which might be answered in the Author's Afterward or some such thing.
As @sorvani notes, with LNs the Character Design and Illustrator are normally the same.

The times I'm aware of where they differ generally reflect a change of illustrator partway through the series where the new illustrator is doing their best to maintain thesame style, and they note the earlier illustrator as Character Design in the volumes following the switch; in this case the cover for volume 1 shows illustrator and character design credits, so it seems that's not the case this time.

I've also seen works where there were separate character and setting designers...but those generally involve weird ass settings, post apocalyptic or other weirdly non-standard.

Wait.
The character design credit matches the mangaka.
Weird in some ways, as the LN commenced publication on Dec 25, 2020 and the Manga on May 14, 2021 (both dates per MAL).

Anyway, it would seem they'd already greenlit the Manga and had character designs in hand prior to commencing artwork for the LN; that's the explanation that springs to mind given the circumstances...unless maybe they greenlit the manga and decided the person they'd hired to illustrate the LN was who they wanted on the manga and shifted them over and they'd already had approved character designs that the one taking their place with the LN then drew upon...pun intended.

MAL doesn't show もすこんぶ associated with any other works.
Their Twitter has a weird comment in their bio...weird as the default MTL renders it, that is.
小説は漫画のみ担当
I think this actually breaks down into their saying they're responsible for the character design for the novel and the manga.
