Author: Takako Hashimoto (Illustrator) & Carol Marinelli
Genre: Manga
Rating: *****
Review: In the opening of Playing the Dutiful Wife we are introduced to Meg, an innocent and cautious woman, finds herself seated next to handsome millionaire Niklas on an airplane. Meg has a huge fear of flying alone and when Niklas is seated next to her she is grateful for the distraction and eventually they begin talking and find that they are attracted to one another.
As being rerouted to Las Vegas the pair end up getting married but Niklas leave her the following day playing it all off as a joke. A year later Meg is found by Niklas’ lawyers and they tell her he is in prison for fraud but is innocent and she is the only person that can visit him. Everything goes to plan but Meg is adamant not to get emotionally involved with him again.
However, after his release he learns Meg lied to him as she was never paid for visiting him, in fact, she refused the money and came because she cared. He manages to track her down in his home town in Brazil, in the orphanage where he grew up. However, this turns out to be Niklas’ twin brother who he was separated from when they were young, and he is shot by the man who framed Niklas.
While his brother dies from his injuries Niklas is fine and he and Meg start their relationship over. One thing that really stood out to me is that by the end of the story Meg has completely gotten over her fear of flying thanks to Niklas.
