Plot: Self-styled pessimist Tamahiko Shima lives alone in the mountains of Chiba after losing the use of his right hand in the same car accident that took his mother's life. Deemed incapable by his father and other wealthy relatives, he has been forced into exile; he experiences idle days of reading and sleepless nights of irrepressible angst. True to the Shimas' famous pride and determined not to disgrace his family, Tamahiko is resigned to his new duty—stay in the mountains and wait for death to put an end to his suffering.

However, on one snowy night, Tamahiko's insomnia is interrupted by someone knocking at the door. He then meets the 14-year-old Yuzuki Tachibana, who announces that she has come to be his future wife! Suddenly, Tamahiko remembers his father promising to send him a bride to assist him with impediments to his daily life.

Although she was sold as a bride to repay her family's debts, Yuzuki proves to be thoughtful, diligent, and dedicated to Tamahiko. Will the world-weary teenager prove insensitive to the rare breeze of kindness her presence brings to his monotonous existence?

User Review: This is the kind of show that, if written by a man, would’ve been rightly viewed as an incel fantasy about having a submissive, underaged fuckdoll. However, it’s written by a woman, so it should therefore be viewed as a controlling female fantasy about a short, maidenly goody two-shoes healing her tall, rich, handsome man-baby whose emotionally vulnerability pushes him to rely on her for everything, gazing at no woman other than her. Most of the anime community is male, and most of these men aren’t exactly rolling in women, so the resulting subculture is one that has a warped, rose-tinted view of female literature. You’ll often hear people express sentiments like: “Anime is misogynistic. Most anime and manga authors are otaku manchildren, and all they want is to create female characters who appeal to their perverted fantasies.” Indeed, these opinions may seem hard to dispute, because while the part about the entire medium being misogynistic is debatable, the part about male authors often not knowing how to write female characters definitely isn’t. However, my personal favorite is this: “Men are not socialized to recognize uncomplicated, unsexual fondness for a female character, and their association with fiction proves this.” Say whatever you want about contemporary ideology cultivating the belief that men are primitive beasts who should be degraded into thinking of themselves as rapist monsters—I’m not trying to start irrelevant controversy here—but this opinion is the epitome of what I’m talking about. The people of this community, both the outnumbered girls and the boys who outnumber them, simply know nothing of popular female literature.

There are literary masterpieces written by women just as there are literary masterpieces written by men (I hope that goes without saying), but there’s a very glaringly obvious reason that—oh, I don’t know—the Fifty Shades of Grey book series sold over 150 million copies worldwide. Let me ask, have you ever read any manga aimed at Japanese women? Literally, 99% of them feature women embracing traditional roles and following the lead of a dashing older man, 99.9% of their doujins foster smutty dreams about being submissive fuckdolls, and anything which doesn’t feature a female MC is almost guaranteed to be fujoshi trash. When I went to go see Promare, the theater wasn’t filled with old-ass Gainax nerds hyped about the next big Imaishi project. It was filled with teenage girls shrieking at the screen, acting just as obsessive, shameless, and depraved as ANY male otaku I’ve EVER seen at ANY idol concert. Gosh, just thinking about what the theatre audience must be like for My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission makes my skin crawl. Now listen. I’m not trying to make this a competition, but the point is made: BOTH sexes are filled with antisocial degenerates possessed with lurid fantasies and their own preferences for fanservice. This might shock you, but different women have different tastes and different forms of pandering media. Some like, "being swept away by a domineering ikemen who competes with other ikemen to claim my heart and bend me over,” and others like, “healing a broken boy so he falls in love with me instead of one of those other sluts competing for his attention.” Taisho Otome Otogibanashi just happens to fall in the latter category.
