Plot
Dai Shiina's original manga revolves around Nike, the determined princess of the Rain Dukedom who has a mysterious power: she can control rainfall. After losing a game of rock, paper, scissors to her older sisters, she is forced to unwillingly marry the king of the Sun Kingdom, Livius I. Livius (or Livi for short) conquered the world in three years, and is known as the "Dreadful King." However, when Nike meets him for the first time, she finds to her surprise that he is a boy younger than she is. Livius abruptly asks Nike to call forth the rain, and when she refuses, he has her thrown in jail. The story follows the two who, while at first are a married couple only in name, gradually begin to establish an emotional bond with one another.

Looking forward to this.

oh wow..nobody like this? it so good ... underrated anime this season...

Welcome abroad fellow S.S. Nike sailors!

Full song is out. such a healing song

Takes me back to good ol vanilla romcoms on the early 2000's.

Damn, this show is so underrated its not even funny. One of the best pairing I ever seen on anime. So many feel good moment.

But holy crap did I cringe when the show went all JPop for the rain song. Not that its a bad song, the song, and the OP& ED is good (in fact looping the ED on my everyday commute nowadays), but I just expect the rain song to be more magical/ fantasy-ish?

Anyway, preview for episode 8 makes me go all fanboy.

^ magical-ish song? it won't work that way.
You'll appreciate the song more if you delve deeper into the lyrics.

Perfect ending, kinda sad it was 12 episodes only though...

but well I kinda saw this coming www

So many people lay an shoujo anime eh...

No more weekly tender rain after this? I wish she had more song to sing, but tender rain all the time.
