Two households, both alike in dignity… but only one bride can unite them.
Juri Iino is the heir to “Honke Iino-ya,” a traditional rice cracker shop in Tokyo. For generations, they have feuded with their rivals, “Ganso Iino-ya.” But when a financial crisis threatens to destroy the Honke family, a merger becomes the only path to survival.
The bank demands a marriage to seal the deal. The groom is Romio, the dashing heir of Ganso. The problem? Juri’s older sister refuses to marry him.
With the deal on the verge of collapse, the families come up with a radical solution: “If Juri is cute enough to pass for a girl, why not make him the bride?”
Forced to undergo surgery during summer vacation and donning a wedding dress on his sixteenth birthday, Juri must trade his school uniform for a bride’s kimono. As he navigates a new life as Romio’s wife, Juri discovers that surrendering to destiny, and to Romio窶芭ight be sweeter than he ever imagined.
