Momose Shu is so in love with his sister in law he marries another woman as to reduce the concern of his family about his single-ness. Okado Akiha agrees to help her grandmother keep her shop but then also falls in love with him and tries to help in any way she can.

While this show was enjoyable, I think Momose Shu spent too much time thinking about Miharu (his SIL). While I get that was the starting premise, I think the framing and just overall “love” for her on his part was played for too long. Yes, it’s nice to show him as a loyal lover but it messes with the romantic balance between him and the actual *love interest*, Okado Akiha. Thus the 7 romance rating. Honestly, I could even make it a 6 but I think the ending was pleasant enough so whatever.

I am glad Miharu ended up not divorcing Asahi, but I think during that time is when Momose Shu should have let her go properly.

I enjoyed how Okado Akiha’s fan admiration for Maruzono Fumi played out. And, I liked Mamiya Shoko’s as well as Makihara Yuito’s characters. Mamiya Shoko was very much the viewer in how she interacted with the main leads but her choice to suddenly want to be with Momose Shu for a hot second after already rejecting his original proposal was kinda random. I think it was just for her to “align” with Makihara Yuito but I don’t think it was needed at all.

Makihara Yuito was a cutie. Because of how DUMB Momose Shu was for much of the show, I was honestly rooting for him and I don’t think I have ever rooted for the SML before LOL.

Anyways, it’s not a show I will hold dearly but I did enjoy the ride for what it was overall.
