■Introduction
High school student Saito Hojo married his classmate.
Also, it is Akane Sakuramori, the girl who is the worst at school and who is like a natural enemy.
“If you tell everyone in the class that you’re marrying me, I’ll kill you.”
“I don’t want people to know about my marriage either. There’s no benefit to it.”
The newlywed life of two people who normally hate each other is not going to go well, and there are always conflicts.
However, as we move closer together in our daily lives, the distance becomes smaller.
They spend more and more fun together, and little by little they begin to understand each other.
Saito learns about Akane’s cute face that he didn’t know before,
Akane gradually begins to realize the feelings she had hidden in her heart…
The heart-throbbing newlywed life of two people who can’t be honest and can’t get along begins here!
