Sum it up in a Sentence:

A boy is rescued by a mermaid and ends up having to marry her, but her father is a Yakuza boss, and his life becomes very difficult for him.

Main Description

Seto no Hanayome's story revolves around a young teenage boy named Nagasumi Michishio. One day during his summer vacation, Nagasumi was saved from drowning by a mermaid, Sun Seto, in the Seto Inland Sea. However, under mermaid law, if a mermaid's identity as a mermaid has been revealed, either the mermaid who was involved or the human who saw the mermaid are to be killed. In an attempt to save both Nagasumi and Sun's lives, Sun's family, which is apparently the head of its own mob, reluctantly decides that the two are to be married.

Gōzaburō, Sun's father, however, is enraged about his daughter running off and getting married, especially to a human whom he deems inferior. Between Gōzaburō's attempts on his life and the madcap antics of a whole slew of antagonists — including the daughter of a rival mobster and a rich male transfer student with an attraction for Sun — Nagasumi is not enjoying a very smooth transition into his new lifestyle.

Personal Opinions

IShallRiseAgain

The show manages to be quite funny, due to it being completely over the top. The series has a lot of cliches typical of a harem series, but they are handled well and don't really feel like cliches. Occasionally, the show will try to be too serious, but it doesn't last for very long.
