It's a romantic comedy, but there's only one heroine! Volume 1 ends with them getting married! No major hardships befall the couple, and they're always together in love, which is what makes them the best heroine and Tonikaku Kawaii bride, Yuzaki Tsukasa, in this article!

How did you meet the protagonist and beloved husband, Yuzaki Nasa?

The Simply Cute Tsukasa

Nasa Yuzaki, the protagonist of Tonikaku Kawaii and her future husband, was mocked from a young age because of his sparkly name, which is pronounced "Nasa" and means "starry sky." Frustrated by this, he worked hard to avoid being mocked. As a result, he achieved top marks in national mock exams and overconfidence. One snowy day, Nasa spots an incredibly cute girl.

Nasa-kun fell in love at first sight with the girl so intensely that he called it a fateful encounter. He instinctively tried to call out to her, but he was hit by an oncoming truck without noticing. However, thanks to the girl's protection, Nasa-kun avoided fatal injuries. The girl was actually the one who was hit more harshly, but she walked away unconcerned.

Nasa's Determination

Tsukasa Confesses

Though seriously injured, Nasa mustered his courage and stood up to go find the girl. Bleeding, he set off to find the girl, and after finding her with determination, he confessed his feelings to her. The girl offered to marry him, and Nasa impulsively replied, "Yes, I'd be happy to." After that, the girl temporarily disappeared, but one day, when Nasa turned 18, she reappeared before him bearing a marriage certificate. That girl was none other than Tsukasa Tsukasa, the heroine and Tonikaku Kawaii bride.

Is the cool, red-haired bride, Tsukasa Tonosaki, just the author's taste?

Lonely Tsukasa

Her personality is generally cool and mysterious. She's a bride who handles everything with ease, but she's also a bit spoiled and easily lonely. It's unclear whether her red hair is a reference to a popular character from the previous work, or if it's just the author's taste.

A Wife Who Will Do Anything

Shy Tsukasa

Although their marriage was somewhat quick, Tsukasa still loves Nasa. However, she keeps it a secret as to when she fell in love with him, and when asked what she likes about him, she answers, "The fact that he loves me." With each episode, Nasa begins to demand more physical contact from his wife, and even though he sometimes gets shy, he always responds.

Is he actually immortal? The Mysterious Bride, Tsukasa Yuzaki

Immortal? Tsukasa

Although quite some time has passed since the series began, Tsukasa Yuzaki remains shrouded in mystery. While her immortality is hinted at, such as her inability to be hit by a truck and her inability to get sick or injured, details have yet to be revealed. As of Volume 1, it's said that this will be revealed at some point, but nothing else is known. She's 16 years old, two years younger than Nasa.

Not particularly interested in Important Cultural Properties?

Tsukasa not interested in historical buildings

Though he doesn't seem particularly interested in historical buildings like Kyoto's temples, he somehow possesses a wealth of knowledge and sometimes reacts as if he's seen them from the past. He also demonstrates the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu style of swordplay with swords that modern people rarely have the opportunity to handle, and can fluently read ancient letters that only archaeologists can read. However, we don't know anything else about him. I'm sure he'll reveal it someday.

Tsukasa Yuzaki loves Japanese anime, games, TV shows, and American comics.

Tsukasa wants to watch shark movies

Though Tsukasa doesn't show much interest in traditional Japanese culture, he loves and has a wealth of knowledge about modern anime, games, TV shows, American comics, and even shark movies. He usually appears cool, but when it comes to talking about anime, games, and TV shows, he instantly becomes talkative, his eyes light up, and he starts preaching to his husband. However, he sometimes shows this side of himself because he trusts Nasa.

The Obsessive Gamer Tsukasa Yuzaki

Tsukasa gets beaten up in a game

Tsukasa also loves games and is obsessed with certain titles. At Kusatsu Onsen Fuyufuin, he plays a certain famous fighting game with Aya, but gets beaten up by the devoted Aya. So Tsukasa challenges him to a match in the classic 3D fighting game (Virtua○n), a familiar name from the commercial featuring Managing Director Yukawa. It seems he also loves Sega game consoles and rare old hardware. Sega is so lame. PlayStation is more fun.

People related to Tsukasa Yuzaki? They're all shrouded in mystery.

Tsukasa is shrouded in mystery, but the people related to him are still shrouded in mystery. Tsukasa's father and mother have not yet appeared, but their marriage registration lists them as Taro and Hanako, though it's doubtful whether they even exist. His relationship with Chitose Kaginodera, who insists she won't approve of his marriage to Nasa, is only described as "the daughter of a family I once cared for." Nothing else is known about her.

The relationship between Chitose's grandmother, Tsukuyomi Tokiko, is also a mystery.

Tsukuyomi Tokiko Appears

The relationship between Chitose's grandmother, Tsukuyomi Tokiko, an old woman whose name appears as a witness on the marriage registration, whom Chitose meets by chance at a hot spring, is also shrouded in mystery. They don't seem to be strangers to each other, but more like friends. According to Tsukasa, they aren't related by blood, but they're like guardians. It seems they met after the war. However, nothing else is known. It's only the first volume, and while it's been said that the story will be revealed eventually, it's already been 10 volumes.

[Tonikaku Kawaii] Yuzaki Tsukasa Summary

Whether this character was created solely for his cuteness or whether it was created as a reflection of the author's desires is unclear, but there's no denying that he's a cute character. While his true identity hasn't been explored in depth (there are a lot of lovey-dovey episodes), he's a character with a deep background and foreshadowing, making him a character worth looking forward to. The anime featuring this Tonikaku Kawaii bride is scheduled to begin airing in October 2020!
