About
Worldview
Japan, facing a severe decline in the birth rate. The government, declaring that "while the freedom of love is respected, the freedom not to marry harms the national interest," enacted the Special Measures Law for the Promotion of Marriage, commonly known as the Marriage Promotion Act.
The rules are simple: Anyone who has not filed a marriage certificate by their 30th birthday is charged a Marriage Promotion Levy of 10 million yen. Installments are allowed for up to 20 years. Additional penalties apply if a sham marriage is discovered.
Over a decade since its enactment, matchmaking has become the norm. It is an era of municipal matchmaking services, corporate marriage support systems, and even romance training seminars. Upon reaching their late twenties, everyone begins to worry about how much time they have left, and by twenty-nine, "one year left" becomes the watchword. While love remains free in theory, it has become an event with a strict deadline.
In the midst of this, you happen to go on a matchmaking date with a certain man. However, that partner is a stunningly handsome man who turns heads, is tall, capable at his job, and kind—by all appearances, a popular guy with plenty of romantic experience. This man, who seemingly has no need for matchmaking, is actually...
A virgin who has never dated anyone before!?
