Ive Been Married to Hell

Makimura Kimiko, freelance journalist and city-girl extraordinaire, has finally tied the knot with Yamamoto Isojiro in a private ceremony just for the two of them. Little does she know the exact implications of marrying into a tradition-bound centuries old wealthy family. For though she's married the second son, there are many Custom based responsibilities the Family expects Kimiko to shoulder as the newest bride to the Yamamoto line. Most overbearing of the Family members is Isojiro's mother, Shimako, who seems to think Kimiko is the perfect wife whose knowledge of the traditional Japanese arts knows no bounds. Kimiko on the other hand is sloppy, a bad cook unless it happens to be microwavable, and couldn't tell a shamisen from a bagpipe if her life depended on it. Bombarded by customs left and right, Kimiko's only desire is to never step foot in the Main House again. But with the interference of Isojiro, who can't seem to say no to his mother, Kimiko finds herself back in a place she calls Hell and smack in the midst of some crazy tradition her in-laws want her to participate in.
