Marriage

On a snowy winter night, Nasa Yuzaki is lying on the street bleeding. During the time he believes he is going to die, he recalls his life, remembering how he was ridiculed for his unusual name and how he devoted his life to studying, wanting to attend an elite school. But before he was set to take the entrance exam, he was hit by a truck when he crossed the street trying to speak to a girl named Tsukasa Tsukuyomi. However, Nasa survives due to her intervention. After regaining consciousness, Nasa chases after Tsukasa wanting to go out with her as gratitude for saving his life, and Tsukasa agrees only if they get married when they are old enough to do so. After getting discharged from the hospital, he took the entrance exam the following year, but decided to work instead of attending high school, hoping to meet Tsukasa again. Shortly after turning 18, Tsukasa shows up at his apartment to fill out the marriage registration and submit it to the bureau to make the marriage official. (Source: Wikipedia)

The First Night

After returning to Nasa's apartment, Nasa tries to figure out where Tsukasa will sleep since he has one bed that is only big enough for one person. The two go shopping for a bed and returns with a futon for Tsukasa to sleep on. During the night, Tsukasa has trouble sleeping and rolls over, prompting her to drink some water. After returning, she inadvertently pulls Nasa's comforter off his bed, leaving Nasa in the cold for the rest of the night. After waking up the next morning, Tsukasa prepares breakfast while telling Nasa to not be so formal with her. (Source: Wikipedia)

Sisters

With the apartment lacking a bathtub, Tsukasa and Nasa head out to a bathhouse after having breakfast. Nasa introduces Tsukasa to Kaname Arisugawa, Nasa's former underclassman who runs the bathhouse along with her older sister Aya. After Tsukasa enters, Kaname asks Nasa about his relationship and expresses her disapproval, while demanding him to make Tsukasa happy. Over on the women's side, Tsukasa meets Aya wanting to scrub her back. After bathing, Tsukasa gets to know more about Aya as she was Tsukasa's classmate in middle school. After the two pass a chapel with an ongoing wedding, Nasa rushes off to take care of an errand while asking Tsukasa to return home. On the way back home, a girl from inside a limo watches Tsukasa, calling her "sister". (Source: Wikipedia)

Promise

Tsukasa returns to the apartment, and shortly after arriving, her foster sister Chitose Kaginoji knocks on the door after tailing her. Chitose is informed that Tsukasa is married much to her disbelief. Nasa returns home and is greeted by Chitose, who kidnaps him and takes him to her family's mansion after finding out that he is Tsukasa's husband. She comes up with a scheme to break up the marriage by having her maids Charlotte and Aurora use tabloid journalism. While Chitose argues with the maids, Nasa slips out and tries to hide, but is found by Charlotte. While trying to get Nasa to submit, Charlotte accidentally breaks the nitrogen casing that preserves Tsukasa's precious moon rock, and Nasa manages to get it temporarily fixed. Chitose then lashes out at Nasa about him not really knowing who Tsukasa is and claiming that she is the only person who can make her dream come true. Aurora creates a scandalous photo, but Tsukasa arrives to confiscate it. Tsukasa and Nasa escape the mansion through a secret passage and share their first kiss. (Source: Wikipedia)

Rings

Nasa and Tsukasa visit an electronics store to shop for a TV. Later at the bathhouse, Nasa tells Kaname about his verbal commitment to Tsukasa, after which she tells him that it is important for him to buy an engagement ring. After leaving the bathhouse, the two stop by at a nearby park and kiss while Charlotte and Aurora secretly observe them. That night, Nasa learns the difference between engagement and wedding rings. Afterwards, Nasa insists that he has to buy a diamond ring. The next day, the two go shopping in Omotesando, and Nasa is shocked at the price tag for a Honey Winston diamond ring, but is talked into buying one until Tsukasa drags him out of the store. Tsukasa tells Nasa that she does not want him to spend his savings on a ring. Instead, the two stop by at a jeweler in Okachimachi with affordable diamond rings but the price is still too much to get Nasa to understand. Eventually, they end up buying a pair of cheap diamond rings and Tsukasa expresses her appreciation on their way home. (Source: Wikipedia)

News

One night, Tsukasa rolls into Nasa's bed after drinking some water. This prompts Nasa to think about moving into a bigger apartment the next morning despite Tsukasa being fine with their current living arrangements. That night, Nasa makes a pitch about the benefits of moving to Tsukasa, but realizes that he needs his parents to be his guarantor. Having not informed them about the marriage, Nasa calls his parents to inform them about the news. The next day, Nasa chats with his mother and asks whether the two can come visit them in Nara. Tsukasa decides that she wants to turn this trip into their honeymoon with a stop in Kyoto. Tsukasa buys a camera, and that night the two set out on their trip on a bus with Chitose and her maids tailing them. (Source: Wikipedia)

Trip

The bus makes a stop at a service area with Chitose and her maids looking for a way to break up Tsukasa's relationship with Nasa. At the service area, Tsukasa tries the lime udon that she heard about through a TV show, but finds it disappointing. Cameramen from a TV station enter the service area, prompting Tsukasa and Nasa to quickly return to the bus not wanting their relationship to go public. The next morning, the bus arrives in Kyoto. Chitose manages to separate the two by having her maids take Tsukasa to the manga museum she had been wanting to visit, leaving Nasa to go on a date with Chitose as a test to determine if he is worthy of being Tsukasa's husband. While Nasa struggles not knowing enough about Tsukasa, he manages to convince Chitose by talking about the accident and various mathematical principles. Chitose and her maids return to Tokyo, though Nasa is not convinced that Chitose has given up on sabotaging their relationship. (Source: Wikipedia)

Parents

Tsukasa and Nasa arrive in Nara to visit Nasa's mother Kanoka and father Enishi, as Nasa explains that he was raised in Tokyo and his parents moved to Nara for his father's archaeological excavation. As Nasa takes a bath, Tsukasa talks with Enishi in private. The next morning, Tsukasa is brought into Enishi's office that is filled with books before Nasa wakes up, and she expresses her interest in history. After breakfast, Tsukasa and Nasa go sightseeing in Nara, and one of the stops is the site of the former Heijō Palace to record a video for Tsukasa to share with Enishi, who had been entrusted with taking care of Nasa during her conversation with Enishi last night. Tsukasa and Nasa leave Nara that night and arrive in Tokyo the next morning only to find that their apartment burned down. (Source: Wikipedia)
