Firefly Wedding, Vol. 1 by Oreco Tachibana
4.0

This was so unhinged, I couldn't stop reading.

The thing is this whole series works based on the two leads, and boy are they fun. Satoko is a girl who's very sick, has a heart condition, but she is a noble. She is kidnapped and somehow saved by one of her kidnappers, Shinpei Goto. This fucking psycho assassin only protects her because she promises to marry him. Leading to some insane story beats, funny as hell moments, and brutal deaths all around.

I love the mix of genres here. I also love that Shinpei is the crazy one, a nice change of pace. It's really funny at times mostly due to Satoko being such a good character and relatable. I also loved the fights, cause they are vicious and bloody.

This was easily one of the most fun first volumes to a romance (is it tho? Romance horror?) I ever read. I'll be buying more as they come out. A 4 out of 5.
