Firefly Wedding has me in a chokehold these days. The newest chapters have me on the literal edge of my seat while I'm reading so I was ecstatic to see that we're getting this in print!

Volume 1 starts off with a bang and ends on a cliffhanger. I love how unhinged the MMC is and how seemingly "weak" but actually feisty our FMC is. Cannot wait to reread the other volumes when they come out in print.

Satoko is a young noblewoman of marrying age. Her father would like to marry her off to a good family, but Satoko is very ill and not likely to live long. She wishes to be open with her suitors on that fact, which causes hesitation in accepting any of her marriage offers. One day while out in town, Satoko ends up being kidnapped. One of her kidnappers is a very strong swordsman, who likely has the skills to take out all of the other kidnappers. How can she convince him to help her out instead?

This is a fun start to a romance story. I must say I wasn't expecting the character of the male lead, but of course an assassin can't really be that sane, now, can he? It definitely helps create a romance story with a unique twist to it. Satoko is also very smart and self-aware and makes a strong female lead. I look forward to seeing how it develops. The art is quite lovely as well; I especially enjoyed the clothing designs.

I've seen this manga all over tiktok and I am THRILLED it's in a volume now!

With a heart condition that will leave her with a short life, Satoko is determined to find a rich husband for her family but when she is abducted by thugs, her only escape is to convince a manic assassin that she loves him and that they should marry.
What ensues will be an adventure both tragic, heartwarming and humorous.

Artwork is beautiful and has the touch of dark romance that many will love.
