Synopsis:

The narrative centers on Yuuhi Katagiri, a young woman accustomed to a sheltered life, whose encounter with Junichi Nagase disrupts her carefully constructed world. After a moment of unexpected assistance from Junichi, who is mistakenly identified as the enigmatic "Geno Killer," Yuuhi finds herself entangled in a series of escalating misunderstandings and societal perceptions. Their connection deepens amidst rumors and a series of unfortunate events, culminating in an arranged engagement that Yuuhi vehemently opposes.

Forced to cohabitate with Junichi and his sister, Yuuhi embarks on a deliberate effort to expose what she perceives as his inadequacy as a partner. The story explores themes of obligation versus personal desire within a traditional setting, examining the complexities of predetermined futures and the potential for unexpected emotional shifts when long-held assumptions are challenged. The series unfolds with an emphasis on character dynamics and social commentary, navigating the delicate balance between duty and individual agency.
