Based on the manga "Hare Kekkon," which was serialized in "Young Magazine" from 2014 to 2019. (NON, composition: Tezuka Dai). It is a romantic comedy about three wives and a husband who are married under the "Hare Kekkon" (polygamy) system, which was introduced in a fictional local city in Japan to prevent depopulation and low birthrate. The protagonist is Koharu, a woman who unintentionally finds herself dating married men all the time. Tired of her love life, she returns to her hometown, which has adopted a "polygamy system" called "harem marriage" to prevent depopulation and declining birth rates. The film portrays the quirky marriage life of Koharu, who has been cheated on by an adulterous man, and the other two wives and her husband Ryunosuke, as they nurture family love and friendship. Full text of comments Director: Takashi Ninomiya: I'm feeling a lot of pressure because this is a popular film. "What is family?" I'll try to portray the deeper aspects of these questions as a drama series. The producers, scriptwriters, and directors other than myself are all women, and I am the one in black, but I will work with the staff and cast to create characters that will be loved by everyone while conveying the unique appeal of live-action. Please look forward to it. When I was asked to write the story and saw the original manga, I thought, "Wow! I didn't know that manga could be so funny and make you cry! I wish I had known about it when it was published. May it reach more people through the drama adaptation without compromising the world view of the original. In this day and age where "having a guess is precious," I hope this will be a work that people can talk about, "Who's your guess? I'm looking forward to seeing how this will be a work that people can talk about. The original author: NON "I wonder if there are any female viewers who would enjoy a harem story ......? I'm really looking forward to seeing the story. But now it's finally ......! The project was brought to us by a female producer with a passion for "Hare Kekkon. The people who came up with the plan were female producers with a passionate love for "Hare Kekkon. I feel that the times have changed a lot. I am looking forward to the birth of the new "Hare Kono. I'm looking forward to the birth of the new "Hare Kono" as a fan! (C) NON / Kodansha
