Smart-san

Set in the 1920s, "Haikara-san ga Tooru" follows the spirited tomboy Benio and her complicated relationship with Shinobu, a handsome half-German soldier. Benio is bold, athletic, and fiercely independent, determined to live life on her own terms. When she first meets Shinobu, she can't stand him-despite the fact that he repeatedly helps her out of awkward situations. So when she learns she’s been trapped in an arranged marriage, she’s shocked to discover her fiancé is none other than Shinobu. The story unfolds with plenty of drama as Shinobu is called to war, Benio wrestles with the idea of marriage, and she struggles to adapt to her new family and job. All the while, the looming threat of the Great Kanto Earthquake hangs over their future.
