Kuchi ga Saketemo Kimi ni wa

Even if her mouth splits open, Miroku-san remains determined to wed Kouichi, a high school student whose family has long preserved ancient superstitions. Their union ensures her continued existence, yet Kouichi appears eager for reasons beyond mere tradition. Miroku, fiercely independent, refuses to rely on others and insists on proving her own power. To settle matters, they agree to a strict arrangement: for one year, they must pretend to be married. However, there’s a catch—if she succeeds in frightening him during that time, their engagement will be nullified. This trial period tests both their resolve, with Miroku determined to unsettle him and Kouichi unknowingly facing her relentless efforts. Their unusual contract binds them in a tense dance of fear and persistence, where the outcome remains uncertain. The stakes are high, as failure for Miroku means surrendering to dependence, while Kouichi’s bravery will determine their future. Neither can predict how their emotions will shift as the year unfolds, blurring the lines between duty and desire. The question lingers—will fear break them apart, or will something deeper emerge from the shadows?
