About Our Fake Marriage and its Rosé spin-off
Kiwi Tokina's romance-drama manga series follows the story of Yae Sendo, an ordinary girl who loses her home and job at the age of 29. With nowhere to go, Yae is in distress until she runs into her childhood friend, Takumi.
Yae's friend proposes she live with him in the city, acting as his fake wife. As such, the manga explores Yae and Takumi's unique relationship, which they begin under deceit.
On the other hand, the spin-off manga centers around Remi Nikitani, an elegant and ambitious girl, who plans to take over her father's corporation. She's least interested in settling with anyone for business or political reasons.
Remi believes she doesn't need to "love" someone when she can make her way to the top on her own. However, Remi is thrown into a loop when her father sets her up with Jun Arata, a dashing young man who knows about the girl's unrequited love from the past. While Remi rejects Jun at first, he keeps returning to her life. She wonders whether he's interested in her or wants to just take over the business.
