Synopsis
18-year-old Yuuka resists arranged marriage, meets 36-year-old professor Ryo, and questions if love can bloom between strangers.
Yuuka Fujita is 18 years old, and a high school graduate. However she has not gone on to college like her high school classmates. Instead, her parents are trying to marry her off, sending her to way too many omiai meetings. This story begins with Yuuka refusing to go to another omiai. In her anger and haste, she literally knocks down her latest potential marriage partner. His name is Ryo Kusuru, and he is a college science professor at 36 years old. Their omiai meeting goes well enough however it doesn't look like much is settled at their first meeting. She does think Ryo is very handsome, despite his being an old man. Ryo seems to like Yuuka well enough also, even though she is so much younger than himself. Meanwhile, Yuuka's parents keep sending her to more omiais with more men. Will she choose Ryo? Can two strangers make a happy couple? Will Yuuka's past be too much of a stumbling block for them? (Source: MU)
