Other name: 婚姻届に判を捺しただけですが, 只是在結婚申請書上蓋個章而已, Only Just Married, I Just Stamped the Marriage Registration

Description:

Konin Todoke ni Han wo Oshita dake desu ga explores the unexpected journey of a woman firm in her singlehood. Ookado Akiha, at 27, has sworn off marriage, content with her independent life. Her resolve is tested when Momose Shuu, a 30-year-old man, presents her with an unusual proposition: a fake marriage. Shuu, for reasons he keeps private, urgently needs the status of a married man and sees Akiha as the perfect, non-committal partner for his charade.

Reluctantly, Akiha agrees, and the two begin their lives together as a pretend couple. Living under the same roof, sharing daily routines, and navigating the social expectations of a married pair, their carefully constructed facade slowly begins to crack. What starts as a convenient arrangement, based purely on a stamped marriage registration, evolves into something deeper and more genuine. As they confront the complexities of their shared existence, their initial agreement of convenience transforms, challenging Akiha's views on love and partnership, and potentially revealing the true reasons behind Shuu's desire for a wife.
