Sinopsis de Kakkou no Iinazuke
All the members of the Umino house are quite similar: they are energetic and incredibly dynamic, except for Nagi, a serious and introverted young man who focuses exclusively on studies. She is the complete opposite of someone like her younger sister Sachi, who is a reflection of her outgoing parents. So it should come as no surprise that Nagi was swapped with another baby at birth. On her way to meet her real parents, Nagi meets Erika Amano, a young social media star.
While spending the day with her, he learns that Erika’s parents forced her to get married. Later that day, Nagi learns that Erika’s fiancé is none other than himself, to officially become part of the other’s family. In order to cement the couple’s relationship, Nagi’s biological father arranges for the fiancés to start living together. However, no matter how many tricks her parents play, Nagi refuses to marry Erika. And it is that he already has his sights set on another person: the beautiful and intelligent Hiro Segawa.
