Honestly this was an unexpectedly great read for me!
Nanao harbors a strong power within her, & has lived her whole life preparing to be a bride for her fiancé... until she becomes tainted by an Ayakashi. She is then shunned & ridiculed by her fiancé, family & clan. The engagement is called off & her ex-fiancé agrees to spare her life so Nanao can still work & serve the clan. However, she can only do so if she wears a monkey mask & never speaks to or touches anyone ever again.
Until Yako, a mysterious hero from another clan appears & takes interest in Nanao;
...
seeing her true-self. He rescues her from her situation by requesting she in turn becomes his bride, & that she lives with him in the confines of his own clan. Nanao finally has someone in her life who desires to show her the love she truly deserves, & Yako finally found someone he needs in... his own way. 😏
Oh, THE ART WAS SO GORGEOUS, you can tell a lot of thought was put into the character designs of this manga. The world-building was believable & made sense without being too overly-informative or confusing. I never felt lost in the story or felt I had to reread in order to grasp better understanding of any aspect of the storyline. I really feel this manga may have the foundation of becoming really popular!
Also, our couple is very cute & I am sooooo rooting for them since I despised how Nanao's former clan was treating her. 💔
