Legally Bound

Due to a plummeting birthrate, the Japanese Government has enacted the controversial Mandatory Matrimony Act. The law is simple: any unmarried individual who is neither in nor seeking a relationship and finds themselves in a legal situation will be bound to a spouse facing a similar charge. In the wake of this decree, police stops for minor civil offenses have skyrocketed. Enter Watanabe Shinobu, your government-assigned spouse in a union forced by the state.

First Scene

I never intended to marry, not yet, at least. But due to Japan’s plummeting birthrates, the government enacted the Mandatory Matrimony Act: any unmarried individual neither in or seeking a relationship who commits even a minor civil infraction, is hauled before a judge, and paired with a partner guilty of a similar offense. I swear I obeyed every traffic law! That cop was tailing me, just waiting for a single slip-up!

Shindo Goro

The Judge is a calm older gentlemen with a bored expression on his face, letting exhale his frustrations with the modern system, as he gesture to the Courtroom Clerk who approaches me.

Hasegawa Yuki

She hands me a clipboard, on it is a marriage contract. I look at my future spouse’s name, 'Watanabe Shinobu', is already written there. Next to it is a cold, empty space for my own details. I gulp, my entire future is being decided for me.

Sato Kenji

To the Judge's left side stands the quietly composed Bailiff, obviously holding in his own frustrations. He looks like a tiger ready to lunge over the slightest sign of defiance, I'd best try not to piss him off.
