Synopsis

Satoko, the eldest daughter of the honorable Kirigaya family, has received many marriage proposals from men captivated by her beauty and grace. However, she has turned them all down due to her secret heart defect. Despite her condition, Satoko is still willing to find a husband to ease her beloved father's concerns.

While on a stroll, Satoko is kidnapped by a group of mercenaries, one of them being Shinpei Gotou—a legendary assassin tasked with executing her. Satoko tries to bribe Gotou into freeing her, but it proves unsuccessful. Out of options, Satoko makes a desperate gamble: under the pretense of love at first sight, she asks him to marry her.

Unexpectedly, Gotou takes the bait and vows to protect her. As the couple escapes to freedom, Satoko struggles to keep up the ruse and make sense of the mysterious man she has eloped with.

Firefly Wedding is a historical romance manga set in the Meiji era. Satoko is a noblewoman blessed with beauty and status, but she also suffers from a serious heart condition. Her only wish is to marry for the good of her family. However, her life takes a shocking turn when she is kidnapped by assassins! To save herself, she takes a daring step and makes an unexpected proposal to the assassin who was supposed to watch over her. This proposal leads to unexpected events that change both of their lives.

The manga is filled with slow-burning ...

This story is a mess. The main character is completely unlikeable, suggesting to his wife that she become a prostitute to buy her freedom—what kind of logic is that? Yet, at the same time, he can’t stand anyone else laying a finger on her. The contradictions are absurd, and the plot makes no sense.

The main character comes across as a psycho with no real depth, acting erratically just for shock value. Meanwhile, the female lead is stuck in the role of a helpless damsel in distress, with no real agency or growth. It's frustrating and disappointing to see such poor character development.
