Plot

Nasa Yuzaki, a boy with a peculiar name,[lower-alpha 2] gets hit by a truck on the day of his high school entrance exams. He encounters and follows a beautiful girl who saves him, confessing his love for her at a bus stop. The girl, Tsukasa Tsukuyomi, agrees to become his girlfriend, but only if they are married first. When Nasa, who had previously decided to not go to high school, reaches his 18th birthday, he is still thinking about the promise he made on that day. Suddenly, Tsukasa shows up at his doorstep with a marriage form, starting their relationship and their marriage. Although Tsukasa's clingy adopted younger sister refuses to accept the relationship, she brings Nasa to her family.

As Nasa and Tsukasa's relationship develops, they start becoming more intimate. The couple begins to hold hands, embrace each other, and kiss by Chapter 14. Throughout the earlier chapters of the manga, a supporting character named Aya Arisagawa, who has a crush on Nasa, believes that Nasa and Tsukasa are simply family members, not married. When she learns that they are, it comes as a shock to her although she eventually comes to terms with it and supports Nasa's relationship.

Characters

Tsukasa Tsukuyomi (月読 司 Tsukuyomi Tsukasa?)
Voiced by: Akari Kitō[3]
She is the titular "kawaii" heroine. After saving Nasa, she agrees to his confession only if he will marry her. Disappearing for three years, she returns to Nasa's side with the paperwork necessary to legalize their relationship. During the early chapters, she makes a point of the legal name change she underwent upon becoming Nasa's spouse, initially teasing him with her now being named Tsukasa Yuzaki. Throughout the story, layers upon layers of mystery are laid upon her and there have been many comparisons of her similarities to Princess Kaguya.

He is the main protagonist. An everyday genius, he has a meeting with fate when he was caught in a terrible accident but was saved by Tsukasa.

Three years later, Nasa reunites with Tsukasa carrying a marriage form to which they turn in to the bureau, legalizing their relationship.

Voiced by: Yū Serizawa[4]
Nasa's junior and the primary caretaker of the Arisagawa public bathhouse, she is the most explicit supporter of Nasa's relationship to the point where she educates both Nasa and Tsukasa in ways of advancing their relationship as well as attempting to forcefully create situations with the same goal of relationship advancement in mind.
