On the outside, Ichiro and Shiori are the perfect couple, with a comfortable, blossoming relationship that seems to be heading towards marriage. In reality, they are hindered by a mysterious engagement pact, which has the power to inflict one-sided retribution upon Ichiro whenever Shiori feels upset!

Having caught wind of the situation, Shiori’s parents show up out of the blue to confront them, determined to separate the couple and bring their daughter back to the island.

Title Notes:

With a single protagonist taking care of two younger siblings, and a sweet romantic plot, this is sure to appeal to readers who loved the family-focused story of Sweetness & Lightning.

In the long tradition of hit anime and manga franchises like Tenchi Muyo! and Urusei Yatsura, this series features an alien who assures the main character that they were meant to be together.

There’s always a market for fun manga about manga artists, like Bakuman and Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun.
