Naka no Warui Iinazuke no Hanashi

Bound together by an arranged marriage between their families, the two leads of this story share a red thread of fate that is hopelessly twisted and tangled. Despite their official status as fiancés, they cannot stand each other. Every encounter quickly devolves into irritation and bickering, with sharp words masking the true emotions simmering just beneath the surface. Neither is willing to drop their guard, leaving them trapped in a relentless cycle of petty arguments and mutual frustration. Convinced that the other harbors nothing but disdain, both struggle with a profound inability to be honest about their feelings. They constantly reassure themselves that their affections are unrequited, entirely unaware that deep down, their hearts are pointed directly at one another. This romantic comedy explores the endearing chaos of two stubborn individuals whose harsh exteriors hide genuine affection, waiting for the moment their true emotions finally break through the hostility. Originally uploaded to Pixiv, the series was later officially serialized by GANGANpixiv. Its compelling premise and charming execution earned it a nomination for the Tsugimanga 2020 Award in the Web Manga Category.
