Taishou Yotogi Roman: Kinyoubi no Hanayome

Set against the backdrop of Japan’s Taishou Era (1912–1926), a period marked by rapid cultural shifts and societal transformation, this story follows Sumie, the sole daughter of the Kanemoto clan. Once a proud warrior lineage steeped in honor, her family has since fallen into disgrace. To reclaim their lost prestige and restore their name, an arranged marriage is brokered between Sumie and the esteemed Hikashi family, binding her fate to a household far removed from everything she has ever known. However, before she can even meet the man destined to become her husband, the young bride faces a daunting trial. Sheltered and entirely unprepared for the complexities of her new environment, Sumie must navigate the Hikashi estate's pervasive atmosphere of moral decay. Stripped of her familiar surroundings and forced to confront the darker realities hidden behind the family's respected facade, she must summon every ounce of inner strength. Her journey becomes a profound test of resolve as she struggles to preserve her innocence and uphold her family's desperate hopes within a home that threatens to consume her spirit entirely.
