Smart-san - S01

Set in the 1920s, Haikara-san ga Tooru tells the story of the high-spirited tomboy Benio and her relationship with a handsome half-German soldier named Shinobu. Benio is an outgoing, athletic girl with firm ideas about living her life the way she wants. When she first meets Shinobu, she dislikes him intensely, even though he helps her out of a series of embarrassing mishaps. She is surprised, then, to learn that she has been forced into an arranged marriage and that her husband-to-be is none other than Shinobu. The story takes many twists and turns as Shinobu goes off to fight in the war, and Benio struggles with the idea of marriage and with getting along with her future in-laws and her employer. Meanwhile, the great Kanto earthquake looms in the future.
