The story centers on Tomari Hinowa, a high school girl who unexpectedly becomes the bride of a mysterious, non-human creature known as Kanenogi. Kanenogi is a member of the Jingai, a race of beings that exist alongside humans but remain largely hidden from human society. Despite his intimidating appearance, Kanenogi is gentle and deeply devoted to Tomari, often expressing his affection in unconventional ways.

Tomari, initially bewildered by her new role as Kanenogi's bride, gradually adapts to her circumstances, finding herself drawn to his kindness and sincerity.

Supporting characters, such as Tomari's classmates and other Jingai, add depth to the story, providing additional perspectives on the interspecies dynamic.

The episodic structure of the series focuses on small, self-contained stories that emphasize the growing bond between Tomari and Kanenogi. Themes of acceptance, understanding, and the challenges of bridging two worlds are woven into the narrative, creating a blend of humor and heartfelt moments. The series maintains a light tone, avoiding heavy drama in favor of exploring the quirks and charms of its characters. Through its concise storytelling, "Jingai-san no Yome" offers a unique take on the romance genre, blending the fantastical with the everyday in a way that is both accessible and engaging.
