Bothered by relationships
Etto, so, her family name is the same as Endou Daisuke's, ne? Why doesn't she have her husband's name?

In Japan, marriage law requires that married couples share a surname because they must belong to the same koseki (household). Although it is customary for the wife to join her husband's family and thus take his surname, the husband may instead join his wife's family and take her surname. The latter is customary if the wife's family have no son, particularly if her lineage has some significance, in which case the husband is considered an "adopted son-in-law" – he has joined the family in order to continue the lineage; this practice is known as 婿養子 ( mukoyōshi ). - Wikipedia

Hope someone can answer!
