The story of the game is set in the distant mountain village of Okukozome-chō. Haruka Kazugano and his twin sister Sora have fond childhood memories of going to the village to visit their grandfather during their summer vacations. However, after losing their parents in an accident, the two must move in with their grandfather.

Media Blasters announced in March that it had licensed the first season of the My Wife is the Student Council President erotic comedy anime. The company had streamed a dub voice-over video for the anime at the time, and it confirmed on Friday that it will release the anime with an English dub.

Media Blasters plans to release the anime on DVD, Blu-ray Disc, and on Crunchyroll later this year.

The "erotic comedy" manga follows a student council vice-president who is betrothed to the student president Ui Wakana as his wife. The anime based on Yumi Nakata's manga was adapted into 12 episodes that premiered in July 2015. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan in both censored and uncensored versions.
