Koushi is in high school, oblivious to the marriage arranged for him at his birth. Enter Momoko Kuzuryuu: airhead martial artist and Koushi's self-proclaimed bride. Her wish for sexual intercourse meets with Koushi's square refusal as he has absolutely no desire to get it on with someone who looks like she could be his little sister, not to mention that he doesn't have the foggiest idea who she actually is. Meanwhile, a war has broken out between the martial arts families. For Koushi, this means that numerous fighters are out to challenge/assassinate him.

Is Sumomomo Momomo based on a manga?
Sumomomo Momomo is indeed adapted from a manga series. The original manga, written and illustrated by Shinobu Ohtaka, was serialized in Square Enix's Monthly GFantasy magazine. The anime adaptation aired in 2006 and covers a portion of the manga's storyline across its 22 episodes.

His dream of becoming a prosecutor clashes hilariously with the chaotic world Momoko drags him into.
