is a 15 year old freshman in highschool born in october 16 (?). Has a family that consist of his grandfather, grandmother, mother, father, and little sister... yess a little sister, what every romcom MC has. Anyway, he's granpa wanted him to find a marriage partner because he wanted to see he's great grandchild as said in the description. But since MC didn't want to, he added conditions that was difficult to fulfill, like blonde, blue eyes, big oppai, smart, sporty etc. Or so he thought. Because he's grandfather found he's classmate Arisa Yukishiro but she's brown or flax haired and green eyes so he thought he could refuse since the condition wasn't met. But then he noticed that the girl was actually being ab*sed by their house so he proposed that they make a fake engagement since the girl is also being forced to find a marriage partner. And it goes without saying MC is rich, Takasegawa family is hella rich and prestigious and the only family who can rival them is the tachibana family, mc's childhood friend's home and a distant relative. MC has black hair and blue eyes he got from he's father, Kazuya Takasegawa and is the next head of the the family, the so called heir, so he was trained to talk and act like one that's why he's a mature and calm type, he's also smart as it was mention he got 5th place in the mock exams and next 2nd place and even overturned the heroine in the exams. He has four cutie dogs and I forgot their breeds but they were trained well, MC is a dog lover, MC was a messy type that doesn't clean he's room even though he's living alone but ended up cleaning it since he got scolded by the fl. Doesn't know how to cook and is good-looking, he's not the sport enthusiast but he can do it, he even has muscles since he also does jogging and muscle training, he also does 3 (or was it 4?) part-time jobs since he wanted to experience and have he's freedom since he's the heir and will be the next headof the house. Has 3 childhood friends one boy and two girls and made a guy friend in highschool so he hangs out with two boys then a female friend so they hang out as a group with 7 members including the FL but it's a long way to go since the kept it a secret that they are engaged although fake and unofficial

same age as MC 15 years old born in june 25. Parents were in an accident so she lived with her maternal aunt, her mother's sister the Amagi (?) Family starting at 2nd grade in elementary. The adoption process wasn't complete yet so her last name hasn't been changed yet. Her adopted family consist of her aunt, uncle, older brother in college and little sister in 6th grade. Her aunt hates her as she is her sister's daughter so FL was ab*sed, hitting her, scolding her, locking her up in the closet and even going so far as leaving her out in the garden with only in her underwear in winter when she was a kid. Her uncle or father didn't know she was being ab*sed but was told by the eldest son so he had an argument with he's wife and then she stopped harrassing her or so he thought because he's wife only did it when he was not home since he's busy. Older brother also cares for her but FL thought it was unnecessary since he's not of help and only makes things worse for her (don't know if I can call him a siscon or not but he was showing similar symptoms as one). She's pretty close with her little sister so the only eyesore in the house is her mother, her real aunt. She got a trauma, and is scared of closed space that is dark and always leave the nightlight on since she was always locked up in the closet. She also can't take watching horror movies and had trouble going to the toilet. She started liking yuzuru at the time when they gone to the pool when she was asked if she liked MC by he's childhood friends. She's a cat lover but she herself is like a dog while MC is the opposite as he acts like a cat but loves dogs. She's good at housework and cooks for MC. Her cooking was said to be much more delicious than mc's mother said by MC himself. She was always 1st in the rankings in exams but was overtured by mc's childhood friend with the last name tachibana. So the ranks from 1st to 3rd are taken by MC, fl, and tachibana girl. She has a neighbor that likes her and he ended up seeing her being ab*sed but could do nothing since he was only part of an ordinary house so he was jealous of MC since he's good-looking, calm, smart, cool, mature, and rich although he mistook him for a distant relative of the FL and thought he was in college because of he's features and how tall MC is at first. It goes without saying he's love ended before it started.

about life together, so if you aren't interested in hearing about them having s*x, then move along.

Your still here right?

Well, yeah, cuz that's what almost everyone was waiting for. V8 is all about their adult life. The high school life stuff got quite tame, but v7 ch25 (i think) covered the first time.

If I'm being honest, this story made me quite envious of a life I could've lived and made me wish I had relationships I never had. I'm sure we are all here to binge on a story that covers what we don't have, and I am right along side you. Now that they are

this story really hit me that I watched them grow up, develop, and eventually they will really get married. It kinda made me do some introspection about what I've been doing with my time. Very odd way to realize it, but this novel has felt real enough that I realized I need to make a change in my lifestyle. It's been a very long time since I've read a romance that I truly envy, and it made all the negative emotions inside me rise up. That was a signal, and also in part due to the fact that I binged this over 3 days, and read 8 volumes. I can say that it has been a truly fun ride, and with the last volume being MTL'd, we come across one of the best done romance stories I have read. Very human characters, all fleshed out. I became so invested that I started living vicariously through the characters, and it was at that point that I realized they were the same age as me, and what have I done versus what have they done. It is obviously not smart to compare yourself to fictional characters, but I believe I received the wakeup call I have been needing for a long time.

I just want to say this journey of reading romance novels along side all of you has been truly enjoyable, and your comment on the posts are genuinely hilarious. In my dark times you guys truly shine, but as a personal measure, I think it is no longer healthy for me to seek so desperately for human connections, because I put off working on myself. Everyone comes from their own walks in life, and we all ready for various reasons. My reasons are that I am very alone, and taking on college solo, debt, struggling to get up in the morning, missing work to sleep in or read (which makes me sleep in), ignoring assignments due, putting off health. I'm enabling a bad lifestyle, and I have no structure. This novel ironically pointed out to me everything that was supposed to be fun and enjoyable in life. I've screwed up so many chances with people I liked, skipped HS events because I was more interested in games, and now I am losing motivation for my favorite subject major in college. Enough is enough, and I want to become a better persons so I no longer have to fantasize about meeting the right person, because naturally, when the time comes, I will be ready for them. So I encourage all of you that feel loneliness to spend more time with those that you put off because that's all I've spent my life doing, pushing away inadvertently everyone I would come to care about. Enjoy your childhood and make memories.

I have to wonder, well obviously because I've never dated someone before (tho I doubt these authors who writes this had), like why does these author write "UGGGHHHHHH I'VE SEEN HER TITS..... HER ti*s IS SUUUGOOODDDDDD I WANNA TOUCH IT" like viewers already not know that we know this authors cant write that because... how could they, when they havent even spoke to a girl? Or prolly they've touched someone's ti*s before that's how they write this kind of this... In my opinion, there is a line between a good erot*c scene and a bad one, and in my honest opinion, erot*c scene/ecchi scenes are almost bad because it stops there, it goes nowhere and it'll just stop there, it's like crudely written that was just to slap you of a filler and then afterwards you're like "well that was utterly pointless", like I've said before and I'll say it again, erot*c scenes in this kind of WN, like Otonari, Omiai or even that WN about marrying the dude because he was in-debt, it is all pointless... I just wonder, like really wonder why authors go through all the trouble of writing this... Like in this novel, MC was like "ugghhh I wanna s*x with her" and I was like "uhhhh what? Of course you will not write that author-san, can you even write a proper erot*c scene? I think the thousands of playing eroge wont help you on that one"

I dont dislike damsel in distress. In fact I think these kind of heroine mostly rides on how the author portrays "distress" and how much he want to milk her like this that, in my opinion is like a bad thing, because I feel like Japanese author only has one mode and that's "GO THE f*ck ALL THE WAY DOWN" like it's the only thing that matter. If she's a damsel in distress, she'll be a damsel in distress every single chapter. Like no ifs or buts, just full on rage mode. It's like that inter in your LoL game that just runs it down mid every single time. In my opinion, Arisa is a fine heroine suitable for how damsel in distress is written and in my opinion, the distress in this series that she is portrayed to, are quite balance and does fall therein with no counter-logic, well in my opinion, the plot does allow for it to happen, but as later on found out about the structure of her family and the dynamic within, it make sense why she's powerless and afraid, why she has no escape from it because, I mean; who can? It's not like she can just ditch the f*ck out so her step-mom would stop abusing her.

How FMC and MC developed their feelings to each other was not rocket science, it's just one of those things that; I feel like we all know we will reach at that point but I is just waiting for how long it's gonna take. I just could not for the life of why like, it has to be White Day because she was like "ugghhh watashi wa daisuki romantic event confessiond desu" and like MC was like this 200IQ tactician of like "according to keikaku" kind of thing like... Every couple/married couple in this world should then be like celebrating all of their anniversary/monthsary on like, dec/feb/march/jan, like why? Why not just write a decent confession scene, without attaching it to f*cking META f*cking troupe to sell this hot garbage of a bullsh*t story? Like, it is not romantic because you're doing it on WHITE DAY, it's romantic because you're confessing your love. It shouldnt be focus on the WHITE DAY, when she gave that valentine chocolate, I think the logical outcome is not to wait for WHITE DAY. It's to go after her and decide what short thing you want to get the heck out of your chest and just say "I love you" which I think is just... I think what would have happen normally, this META troupe of confessing on WHITE DAY because she confessed on VALENTINES DAY is f*cking lazy writing. Not every event should be tied-down to circumstance in which the character will decide their action, I think that the confession scene was quite nice it's just... For the life of me could not understood... COULD NOT. Why the author decided the next ch to be after feb.14 and decided to have this be on WHITE DAY, like, what is this meta thing to do? Do ppl in Japan actually mass confess their feeling on WHITE DAY when someone confessed on VALENTINES DAY? Like what? Does ppl in Japan then only have s*x during December 25th because of fireworks? Like what? AUTHORS... pls stop doing this... sigh, then again I doubt authors will stop doing this. primarily because, in most cases these kind of chs are written DURING WHITE DAY in Japan so I guess to soothe the souls of those soon-t0-be novelist (forever virg*ns) Japanese that was heartbroken by someone they liked for a long time and decided to confess on WHITE DAY because why not, and was broken-hearted because she was dating the GIGACHAD SENPAI that's the ACE FROM THE BASKETBALL CLUB, and upon noticing his look, pitiful bad posture, depress as f*ck eyes, and the realization that kicked in that he's not actually the main protogonist in this real world, he went home and cried and then to go on to live a fantasy life by reading WNs in syosetsu which is titled "Omiai Shitakunakattanode, Muri Nandai na Jouken wo Tsuketara Doukyuusei ga Kita Ken ni Tsuite" and envision himself as the MC who confessed to Arisa and she also confessed to him and they hug each other. I'm not saying, that's morally disgusting, I'm just saying; we've all been there, and hopefully to the Japanese guys who are reading that particular ch when your confession didnt go through, I hope you're already writing one of the best LN to come out this year, or prolly the year before or prolly in the future... I'm looking forward to it! I hope it's not isekai ffs.

fmc's family circumstances are a mess, which if not for it, I dont think the plot would have just worked but in my honest opinion, it does work. She was ab*sed for still idk why, but plot I guess and this developed her inferiority complex, and how it slowly untangled was a warming feeling to say nonetheless, cliched? Absolutely. Was it such the greatest feeling when she's moving forward on her own accord? Yes, it was a blissful moment. Would I think it's morally disgusting that it was presented in a way that MC is whiteknighting her? That depends on the perspective where you view this scenario. And there, lads, where I will stop; I will let you all decide where you stand on this, for me, in my humblest opinion, I think that despite the extremity, the romanticism of someone whiteknighting you out of your demise is indeed, one of the most fictional orgasmic moment that will forever be romantic in my humblest opinion. Ultimately, the story really boils down to such detail and while I've enjoyed reading the series, I think to myself, that, on the realm of Gimai Seikatsu or Sweat and Soap, this series then just amount to nothing. A 130 ch of nothing. Is it a shame, that you enjoy this? No, it's just that, you havent seen the pinnacle of what romance LN/WN/manga could uphold that you're still here reading this thing, but; despite that; it is still a very enjoyable read for what it's worth it. Every romance LN/WN or genre faces the problem of, ironically, the romantic development (or in this case confession), which in fact I think stays for that due to the potential lose of what could it bring if you just inch it away as possible or delay it, works that captivate the essence of romance, if you're looking for this in this WN, I hope you dont, please dont, because there's no genuine thing on this delusional-based WN, for what it offers is that "high" that other drugs like cocaine give to your brain and inject the high you want and slowly kill you. This wont kill you but it'll just.... well, you wont find an ounce of essence that could call this good....

It desperately sells you the story of a romantic development between a man and a woman whom are in fake arrange marriage and slowly fell in love to each other, with word-for-word of copy-pasta from thousands upon thousands of romance WN/LN that has existed to craft a romantic development out of what the author had hand-picked, thus "Omiai Shitakunakattanode, Muri Nandai na Jouken wo Tsuketara Doukyuusei ga Kita Ken ni Tsuite" existed as a series born from the thousands of LN/WN that it had taken attributes from, and will at the end of the day just be that... another series yet again with another cliched development that arouse simply because, for the ultimate dream, of having an anime adaptation.

Surprise surprise! They can legitimately continue with one of them not registering her marriage proposal cuz her weird religion make them can't have husband (she's a head clan)

Basically, FMC is facing domestic ab*se (quite extreme if you ask me) from her step-mother and there is one certain character in her family that you will find intolerable. Although, her step father and her step sister are good person but they too stay oblivious to situation until she speaks for herself.

I am not the only one who feel uncomfortable about the relationship ayaka, chiharu and soichiro are in, right?

where the MC has multiple conversations with his grandfather on how he has to beat one of his friends (family rival) in academics (which he loses to three times) while also emphasizing that this was simply just an examination which has nothing to do with achieving something in reality. It's a chore
