Title: One Wedding Required
Author: Megumi Toda
Genre: Manga
Rating: ****
Review: Amber was Finn’s secretary at work…and his fiancée at home! But her happy heart is slowly filling with anxiety. Ever since their engagement, he’s been pushing her away and telling her that he’s too busy with work. Finn is the talented CEO of a modelling agency, and models are constantly trying to seduce him. She worries that he’s not in love with her anymore… And just as Amber began to doubt him, she caught him in the embrace of a beautiful young model. From this synopsis One Wedding Required seems like your average romantic drama.
As both Amber and Finn have stressful jobs that require them to put in a lot of hours, the couple don’t spend that much time together, but Amber is happy with that as long as they spend the time, they do get together being happy. However, cracks are beginning to appear in the relationship and as Finn spends all his time surrounded by beautiful women it is clear to see that Amber is painfully insecure.
As time goes on Finn is becoming more and more withdrawn and often avoid talking about their relationship so Amber begins to think that he is having an affair. At a New Year’s Eve party, this is confirmed when Finn kisses the mother of one of his model and Amber is distraught. After moving in with her sister she doesn’t want to see Finn again until the woman he kissed comes to her sister’s home and announces that Finn is in the hospital.
Rushing to the hospital despite her anger Amber learns that Finn has been hiding the illness from her resulting in his strange behaviour. He has a condition that is affecting his muscles, a bit like MS and everything including the kiss was staged for Amber to break up with him to spare her from the burden of his care. Despite this Amber is loves Finn and decides no matter what happens she loves him, and they decide to get married, although it is revealed at the end that Finn overcame his illness and the couple lived happily in sickness and in health.
