Synopsis:

Sixteen-year-old Rito Yuuki’s quiet life takes an abrupt turn when a crash landing introduces him to Lala Satalin Deviluke, a princess fleeing a political arrangement within her powerful alien empire. Lala's unexpected arrival throws Rito into a world of otherworldly occurrences and unwanted attention as she proposes a marriage to him – a decidedly ordinary teenager. The series explores the comedic fallout of this unconventional union, depicting Rito’s attempts to navigate his burgeoning relationship amidst increasingly bizarre situations and a growing number of admirers. The narrative blends romantic comedy with fantastical elements, often employing exaggerated physical humor and suggestive scenarios, as Rito tries to balance everyday life with the extraordinary demands of being the future consort of an alien princess.
