The Story of a Poor Young Lady Who Doesn't Remember Being Engaged: New Manga Series Launches on Manga UP!

On June 19, a brand new series launched on Square Enix's digital manga platform Manga UP!: "The Story of a Poor Young Lady Who Doesn't Remember Being Engaged" (original title: 婚約破棄されたが、そもそも婚約した覚えはない 巻き込まれ令嬢は歌って暮らしたい). The series is a romantic fantasy with a scenario by Nishine Hanan and illustrations by nishi, meeting readers on the platform.

The story centers on a poor young lady who suddenly hears that her engagement has been broken off, but actually has no memory of any such engagement. After the engagement is canceled, she receives a surprise marriage proposal from the twin sons of a noble family. While trying to unravel the mystery of her past, she also seeks a way to live a quiet life pursuing her greatest passion: singing. This narrative of a "forgotten engagement" and "unwitting involvement in events" brings a fresh twist to the recently popular "otome isekai" and "poor noble girl" genres.

Author Nishine Hanan has previously written light novels on similar themes, while artist nishi is known for works such as "The Daughter of the Albert Family Wishes for Ruin". The duo now serializes on Square Enix's popular web manga platform Manga UP!, which has been rapidly growing among young readers with its weekly original stories and webtoon-like format. The new series is said to be a must-read, especially for fans of romantic comedy and light fantasy.

Fans of such stories will see motifs like the "poor but strong female character" and "unexpected love triangle" skillfully handled here. The series has already received positive feedback with its first chapter, and new chapters are expected to be released regularly in the coming weeks. If you are curious about a young lady who doesn't remember her engagement and her complex relationship with the noble twins as she pursues her passion for singing, be sure to check out Manga UP!
