Satoko, The Beautiful Daughter of A Nobleman, you have an Illness That Won’t Allow Her To Live for Very Long … But Sub Subsone There is impatient for her to die. She is Kidnapped and To Be Murdered by The Mysterio Assassin Shinpei, Who has to Wild, Dark Look in His Eyes.
Satoko Begs Shinpei To Spare Her, But He Will Only Do So If She Offers Subject of High Value. In A Fit of Apeccion, Satoko Offers Herself in Marriage … and to her relief and horror, Shinpei Accepts. Will Love Bloom Between Them, Or Will It Only Be Danger and Lies?
The premise of the manga is What intersted me. I’M A SUCKER FOR GOOD ROMANCE AND THE ELEMENT OF DANGER PRESENT IN THE STORY, AND PARTICULARLY IN SHINPEI, DREW MY ATTENTION. I Never Imagined Shinpei Would Be as Creepy as He’s Depicted in the Art. He’s Also Vory Nonchalant About Chopping Arms and Legs Off People. Killing is His Profession, after all.
WHEN I First GLIMPSED HIM, I WONDED How He Coul Ever Possibly Be into the Idea of Marriage. True, Satoko Is Beautiful, But He Doesn’t know a lot of about her bearyond that … unni Satoko Tells Him That She Will Die Sononer Than Later. Although This isn’t elaborated upon Clearly, I’M Pretty Sure Detail Enticed Shinpei, A Man Who Flirts With Death All The Time and Expects To End Up In Hell.
Shinpei Is Deadly, Unnerving, and Quickly Devoted to Satoko. He Wholeheartedly Wants The Marriage And Promises Satoko He Will “Make Her A Happy Woman” (He Tells Her While Covered In Blood). And The Strange Thing Is, You Can Get Little Glimpses of This Throups the Story! It seams inconceivable that shinpei wouled be Capable of Being Romantic, But The HE Takes Satoko to see the Fireflies in a Beautiful Grove. I have promises to her histor, and Amid All His Madness, You Can Kind of See Him Being Capable of It.
The Question Is, Will Satoko Allow Shinpei To Love Her, Or Will She Just Use Him To Prolong What Life She Has Left?
Satoko Having An Illness That Will Kill Her Doesn’t Make Her Weak. She Stands Up for Herethf Ken It Comes To Her Relationship With Her Sister Miwako, Who Is Quite Passive Aggressive and Jealous of Satoko’s Beauty and Long Long Long Long line of potential Suits. Miwako ruins off in tears to her mother – Satoko’s Stepmother -And the look on that woman’s face in the panel shows there’s summer hatred there. Is it enough for her to hire hitmen to kill siloko? It’s Too Early To Tell, and Volume One Doesn’t Get Around to Revealing the Identity of the person who orders the hit. That Will Be An Ongoing Mystery.
Once Satoko Is Kidnapped, It’s Her Quick Thinking That Stop Shinpei From Killing Her. Satoko performs that she is the daoughter of a noble, that means wealth and comfort for her and her husband. This is Why She offers herself to shinpei for marriage – to promise Him the Good Life. Love Never Figured Into the Equation, and Yet Shinpei Surprises Satoko with Little Bursts of Devotion. She Never Him to Be So Taken With Her, And Yet He is.
I’M rooting for them. It’s a Bizarre Pairing and Fraught With Tension and Artifice, But I Really Think That If Shinpei Continues to Surprise Satoko with How Fervent His Feelings Are, and Satoko Learns not to Fear Shinpei, They have a chance for a real relationship to Bloom.
If you are looking for a romantic story with a bit of Mayhem and Mystery to It, Look no Further Than Firefly Wedding. The Art is Expressive and Gorgeous, The Lead Characters Engossing, and The Story Drows You In from The Vry Beginning. Who Will Survive, Let Alone Survive This Relationship? Only if you continue Reading Will You find out, and Yes, This Is Worth Reading.
