I am about to turn 35 and one day I suddenly have a 23 year old brother. And he's going to live with me! There is no way that anything could happen, but--! Since the death of her father, Azuma Azuchi had been living with her mother, as she pleased, but her mother announced that she was getting remarried. And the man she married and his son moved into the house! Even though they are suddenly asked to move in together, they are complete strangers. And he is a young boy! Awkward under one roof, Azuma decides to move out, and tries to make it work for the short time she has until then... You never know what life has in store for you! Azuma decides to take a fresh look at her life, including her independence and marriage, but it doesn't seem to be that easy--!

"What is it, Mr. Amakusa? Don't tell me you're planning to make midnight visits to my bed?" Aki Kurumi, 29 years old, meets Shisui Amakusa at a singles' mixer, and what should he unexpectedly propose but a paper marriage...! And once she starts living with Shisui, who is a touch out of sync with her, it kicks off a string of miscommunications and minor catastrophes! Their life as newlyweds (on paper) gets off to a bumpy start, but it's somehow almost cozy... "I didn't realize I would be so happy... to be needed by someone." They each chose this paper marriage for their own convenience, but could they become a real husband and wife? What is "love"? What is "marriage"? This is a bumbling love story that depicts how men and women coexist.
