* ShownTheirWork: The series does a reasonably good job showcasing the clan courtship rituals some of the more "traditional" families in Japan still use. Basically, the male who comes courting enters negotiations with a mediator (Nadeshiko in this case), is carefully scrutinized by the clan head, and then, if found worthy is "sold" his new bride in exchange for territory, alliances, sometimes money, but most often, as is the case with Shinchirou, a pledge of loyalty and lifetime service.
** The series also does a fair job of highlighting the HonorRelatedAbuse that plagues this system. If Suseri's mother didn't need her to become a PuppetKing to control the clan, Suseri would likely have either been forced to commit ritual suicide, or flee the clan in disgrace. All because Suseri's mother doesn't think Shinchirou is a "proper" husband, regardless of what the head actually thinks, says, or does on the subject.
