That makes sense. I was thinking it might be set in the Taisho era, like

I think a lot of people will find it rather slow, but I'm looking forward to seeing her tentatively try to get to know her equally clumsy fiance.

So the pacing will be slow? That might irritate those who are tired of the "will they, won't they" dance so commonly seen in romance-focussed Japanese fiction.
