New Romantic Fantasy Manga "Kizu no Nameai Kekkon" Begins on COMIC Polaris
The manga world has begun hosting a new romantic fantasy series that will warm your heart. “Kizu no Nameai Kekkon” no Hazuga Reitetsu Kishi-sama ga Dekiai Shite Kimasu (It Was Supposed to Be a Marriage of Healing Wounds, But the Cold Knight Is Doting on Me), created in collaboration by author Mizuki Chiko and artist Manatama Yumu, met readers on the COMIC Polaris platform on June 25, 2026. The series, which focuses on a woman whose engagement was broken and her struggle to hold onto life, as well as an unexpected love, has already created great excitement for fans of the genre.
At the center of the story is Elise, a count's daughter who lost her family at a young age and grew up being mistreated by her uncle. At a ball one night, Elise witnesses her fiancé Arche and her best friend Mirabelle cheating on her, and simultaneously learns that her engagement has been broken. Just then, the future duke Lucius Radford, known as the "cold knight," who was also abandoned by Mirabelle just like her, approaches Elise with an unexpected marriage proposal. This marriage of convenience, which the two began to heal each other's wounds, soon begins to turn into a deep love with the excessive interest and affection (dekiai) Lucius shows toward Elise.
The series' author, Mizuki Chiko, is known for stories with high emotional depth and strong dramatic elements, which she writes especially on web novel platforms. Having previously drawn attention with works such as Junketsu wo Ushinatta Seijo ga Ai ni Furetara, the author offers a narrative focused on character development in this new series as well. Artist Manatama Yumu adds visual richness to the story with elegant details in character designs and an art style that reflects emotions. The publishing platform COMIC Polaris (Flex Comix) is one of the industry's prestigious venues, known for hosting popular series such as Dekiru Neko wa Kyou mo Yuuutsu (The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today).
In recent years, the popularity of manga with "broken engagement" and "reverse love" themes has continued to rise rapidly, especially among female readers. These types of series usually evoke strong empathy in readers because they deal with the protagonist's process of discovering their own worth after the injustice they suffered. “Kizu no Nameai Kekkon” promises to offer a more emotional and intimate perspective by combining this classic theme with the concept of "mutually healing wounds." The first chapters of the series are now available digitally, and fans are already eagerly waiting to see when the physical volumes will hit the shelves.
