A Journey of Love and Memory in Fantasy Manga
In the realm of fantasy manga, creativity knows no bounds. The recent release from KTC, titled
“I Proposed to Break Off My Engagement to My Fiancé Who I Can’t Even Remember – His Cold Exterior Hides Heavy Feelings”, is a stunning representation of romance intertwined with the supernatural. Set to hit the shelves on July 14, 2025, this manga has already garnered recognition as the grand prize winner of the Isekai Manga Original Work Award.
It is a captivating story penned by Mamako and illustrated by Ichimi Fujikawa, following the life of Celestine, a noblewoman who finds herself in an extraordinary situation. After a tragic accident, she appears to have recovered physically; however, she suffers from a peculiar memory loss solely concerning her fiancé, Renato. Despite the overwhelming circumstances, Celestine's impulsive decision to propose a breakup sets off a chain of unexpected events.
A Tangled Web of Emotions
When Renato visits Celestine in the hospital, his behavior feels unusually distant, prompting her to suggest ending their engagement, hoping that this will alleviate the cold tension between them. Much to her surprise, Renato firmly rejects her proposal, leaving Celestine in a whirlwind of confusion and disbelief. That's when the story begins to explore the juxtaposition of her fears and his seemingly stoic demeanor.
Renato, often perceived as cold and unfeeling, begins to display unexpected warmth towards Celestine through simple gestures: inviting her to outings, attending her recovery, and patiently nurturing their bond. This contrasts sharply with his reserved exterior, leading readers to question what truly resides beneath his surface. What secrets does Renato hold, and how will they unfold in their developing relationship?
An Engaging Tale of Love
This romance unfolds elegantly, taking readers on a journey filled with tension, heartfelt moments, and a depth of emotion that is as heavy as it is poignant. It captures the struggle of nurturing love amidst the challenges posed by forgetfulness and the quest for reconciliation. It’s a story that prompts you to consider whether love can survive even when memories fail us.
The narrative is rich with character development, and as Celestine navigates through her feelings, readers witness a transformation from confusion to affection. The artwork complements the storytelling beautifully, showcasing the emotional highs and lows that both characters experience. Whether you're a manga enthusiast or new to the genre, this tale promises to resonate with many, celebrating the resilience of love in the face of adversity.
