Synopsis of Kakkou no Iinazuke

All the members of the Umino household are quite similar: energetic and incredibly dynamic, except for Nagi, a serious and introverted young man who focuses exclusively on his studies. He's the complete opposite of someone like his younger sister, Sachi, who is a reflection of their extroverted parents. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Nagi was switched with another baby at birth. On the way to meet his real parents, Nagi meets Erika Amano, a young social media star.

While spending the day with her, he discovers that Erika's parents forced her to marry. Later that day, Nagi discovers that Erika's fiancé is none other than himself, so they can officially become part of each other's family. To cement the couple's relationship, Nagi's biological father arranges for the newlyweds to move in together. However, no matter how many pranks his parents pull, Nagi refuses to marry Erika. And he already has his eye on someone else: the handsome and intelligent Hiro Segawa.
