Firefly Wedding (Vol.3) - Oreco Tachibana

Firefly Wedding (Volume 3) by Oreco Tachibana, published by Viz Media, continues the darkly romantic historical manga set in the Meiji era. Blending suspense, emotional conflict, and forbidden devotion, this volume pushes Satoko and Shinpei’s dangerous relationship to a new level.

After narrowly escaping a deadly crisis at the island brothel, Satoko and Shinpei attempt a secret escape aboard a small boat, hoping to reach the mainland unseen. As they flee together, Satoko tries to make Shinpei understand her true intentions: her priority has always been securing a politically beneficial marriage approved by her father in order to protect her family, not following her heart.

However, Shinpei’s devotion remains unwavering. He insists that his desire to marry Satoko is absolute, regardless of her motives. During their tense journey, the two begin to open up, revealing buried fears, conflicting desires, and genuine emotions that complicate everything. Just as honesty brings them closer, an ominous threat begins to close in, reminding them that escape may not be as simple as they hoped.
