Synopsis

In a future where Japan struggles to combat its low birth rate, the Japanese government implements the "Yukari Law": a matchmaking system based on genetic compatibility for children who have turned 16 years old. Hailed as "The Red Threads of Science," it is a well-accepted policy, promising a fulfilling life to those who comply and penalizing the ones who defy.

Almost 16 years old, time is short for Yukari Nejima. He decides to confess to his crush, the beautiful and popular Misaki Takasaki, who he has been fond of for the past five years. To his surprise, Misaki reciprocates his feelings. But just as the pair are sharing an intimate moment, Yukari receives his government notice. He is to be married to his government-assigned partner, the blunt Ririna "Snooty" Sanada, and is now thrown into a world of love and lies, as he desperately clings onto his feelings.

Good Manga, 2 different endings. Shame there was no space for a third, alternative ending :P

Sometimes I like to think I'm living in this Manga/Anime as Nejima. Defo would make some other choices, especially career wise, but would definitely end up with the best waifu, Ririna :)

Worth a try.

Thanks.

No idea why MAL wants this review to be more informative. Like m8 nobody got time to read that. If the yhad time to read this review they would read the manga instead ;/

I read the first 5 volumes, 105 chapters in total. And I was a bit disappointed. I was expecting some huge drama. Something to happen that would make it interesting, but it didn't really.

What happens, when a guy gets governmental notice about his future wife being chosen, but falls in love with another girl? The story follows this specific struggle as its main focus.
Sounds cool and all that… until reaching around 1/4 of the manga, when I realized it all starts getting noticeably worse and is slowly falling apart.

Specifically the dialogues. The conversations between characters lead almost nowhere. It is rare to find a meaningful talk and it takes way too long to have some progress. It contains many events that could be avoided (or at least put together). After some time, it completely loses a proper direction.
