I'm a little uncomfortable with the shota angle.

I guess I'll root for that secretary, Neil. He's a snappy dresser.

What's the big deal with forced marriage or engagements? It's a common enough trope in manga and anime (not to mention an actual thing in human history, especially amongst royal families), and this looks like a sweet shojo story with no sexual content or fanservice. Is the very idea of a wedding between characters who don't know each other that repulsive that you won't give the show a chance? Do you also avoid Game of Thrones because spoiler[Sansa was forced to marry Tyrion, amoung many other "forced marriages" in the story?]
