Taisho Otome Fairy Tale (Japanese: 大正処女御伽話, Hepburn: Taishō Otome Otogibanashi) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Sana Kirioka. It was serialized in Shueisha's Jump Square from July 2015 to September 2017, with its chapters collected in five tankōbon volumes. An anime television series adaptation by SynergySP premiered in October 2021.

Plot

In 1921, during the Taishō era, Tamahiko Shima, a teenage boy with a literary bent from the rich Shima family, is cast out, deemed "dead", and exiled into the mountains of Chiba due to his paralyzed right arm. A young girl proficient in housework named Yuzuki Tachibana, nicknamed Yuzu by Tamahiko, is bought by the Shima family and given to Tamahiko as a wife to accompany him. Tamahiko shows himself to be extremely cynical and depressed due to his exile, but Yuzuki's presence helps brighten his feelings. In time, Tamahiko and Yuzuki fall in love. In 1922, Tamahiko's younger sister, Tamako, visits the couple, and, though initially cold, warms up to Yuzuki. They also meet Ryō Atsumi, the older sister and caretaker of a number of younger siblings, who teases, picks on and steals from Tamahiko. However, she grows close to him and Yuzu, and Tamahiko helps her younger siblings with school.

In 1923, Yuzuki and one of Ryō's brothers, Ryotaro, leave for Tokyo - the former to see her friend from school, and the latter to pursue an apprenticeship. However, they are caught up in the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake, leading Tamahiko and Ryō to walk to Tokyo, with Tamahiko leaving his house open as a temporary shelter for the affected population in his town. Tamahiko finds Yuzuki, bringing her to a temporary hospital run by his estranged uncle. After the earthquake, the famous singer Kotori Shiratori visits Chiba and plays a show with Yuzuki and Ryō attending. Later on, Tamahiko returns to school, passing the entrance exams and making friends with Kotori's twin brother, Hakaru. Kotori visits Yuzuki and Tamahiko and asks them about love to support her songwriting.

Yuzu suddenly leaves one day, and Tamahiko falls back into his depressed state. It is revealed that the heir to the Shima family, Tamaki, has died, and Tamahiko, despite being previously ostracized, is invited back into the family to serve as heir. As a result, Yuzuki is assigned to become the wife of Tamahiko's brother Tamao. Tamahiko goes back to Tokyo, gets Yuzuki back, and cuts ties with his father, with Tamako and Tamao following him, leaving only the oldest sister, Tamayo, to succeed the Shima family. In preparation for their wedding, Tamahiko and Yuzuki visit Yuzuki's family in Iwate. Eventually, Tamahiko takes Yuzuki's last name, Tachibana, and becomes a teacher. Tamao and Tamako are adopted by their uncle.

Characters

Taishō Otome Fairy Tale

Tamahiko Shima (志磨 珠彦, Shima Tamahiko)
Voiced by: Yūsuke Kobayashi[3]
The viewpoint character of the series. Second son of the wealthy and calculating Shima family in Tokyo, Tamahiko is in a car crash that kills his mother and robs him of the use of his dominant right hand. Deemed worthless by his father, he is banished to his family’s mountain retreat in Chiba. Filled with self-loathing and resigned to his fate to live and die in ignominy, he is slowly dragged out of his depression when Yuzuki comes into his life.
Yuzuki Tachibana (立花 夕月, Tachibana Yuzuki)
Voiced by: Saya Aizawa[3]
The otome (“maiden”) of the title. At fourteen years old, she leaves the girls’ school she had been attending when her debt-ridden family sells her to the Shima family for a (then-)princely sum of ¥10,000 to be Tamahiko’s caretaker and future bride. Endlessly upbeat, she sees the kindness under Tamahiko’s sour exterior and is determined to bring him out of his shell through her sheer devotion.
