A social worker at the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. He manages the Yukari couples alongside his partner, Kagetsu Ichijou. Motoi is currently married, but he's not happy with his partner and hasn't called his wife in two years.

~!Motoi and Kagetsu attended Kasugayama High and they broke up the day of Kagetsu's 16th birthday when she offered to reject her assigned partner if Motoi committed to marry her. However, with them being so young, and him not confident, he didn’t follow through and refused-- a decision that he still regrets to this day.!~

In a world where the government assigns you a marriage partner once you turn sixteen, Yukari Nejima, a below average teen, confesses to his childhood crush Misaki Takasaki on the eve of his sixteenth birthday… only to find out that he has been assigned to Ririna Sanada instead.
 
Would you rather choose the girl you have always loved, or the girl you met because you were told she was your partner? Which one is love? Which one is a lie? There is only one way to find out!

Yukari is dull. He doesn’t even stand out enough to be bullied—he’s just a generally lower-middle-class kid. One day, on the eve of his sixteenth birthday, he confesses to his childhood crush Misaki Takasaki. There’s just one problem: He was 15, few minutes away from receiving his government-assigned marriage partner. He normally wouldn’t have the courage to defy the law, but his assigned wife Ririna still believes in love, and won’t stop goading him into confessing his feelings!
