   Summary

   Cid Kagenou is a low-ranking nobleman and student at Midgar Academy. He's finally managed to end his phony relationship with Princess Alexia, but there's a catch: his family (or rather, one person who's definitely not his sister) has stopped believing in his ability to find a future wife and has decided to take matters into their own hands.

   Now the Eminence in Shadow faces perhaps his greatest challenge yet - finding a worthy wife with whom he can continue to be the Eminence in Shadow and eliminating family options (other than from sister).

   Or a comedy about Cid trying to find a "worthy" wife and rejecting options from his family (not from his sister).
