I like how most of the cheesy stuff happens in extra chapters and its as if nothing happened in the real ones.
Most of the material in the extras (except for those that directly tie into the current chapter) are time-skipped and reflect future relationship developments.

Can somebody explain what that last sentence is supposed to mean?
"If you can't become a wife, someone could come over and be your husband"? He said it so matter-of-factly, is that a saying in Japanese or something?
@MrGoose I think normally it is the case that the woman be married into the man's family in Asian countries (China, Japan, etc.), so in this case he's implying she can get the man to be married into her family instead.
Probably in Japanese, what MC said is deliberately vague ( that is how nihongo works, most of the time, only the verbs without the doer exist in a sentence).

Nihongo sentence works on context. So, the girl deliberately understood MC words referring to himself offering to be a husband for her.
Found this on 4chan
The joke is that instead of her being a wife (yome), he could be the husband (muko), which is a reference to the Japanese practice of families with daughters but no sons legally adopting a man and having him marry one of the daughters. The man would change his last name to that of his wife's family. The term for this is "mukoiri".

Basically he's saying that if she can't be a bride (with the standard implication of her becoming a part of her husband's family), a guy could just "be a groom" and marry in to her family, with the joke being the complementary meanings of "yome" and "muko".
