Volume 1 of Tensei Hakushaku Lilina no Kekkon: Ikemen Koushaku-sama no Mushiyoke-gakari!? — drawn by Nawa Mao and based on the original story by Midorikawa Ryohara — went on sale today, November 12, 2026, published by Square Enix.

Story

After being reincarnated as the daughter of a viscount family running a maritime trade business, Lilina is later taken in by her mother’s grandfather, the head of an earl’s household. From a young age she demonstrates exceptional talent in managing the domain, and her reputation as a sharp and capable head of house has spread far and wide.

Despite all her accomplishments, however, her love life is a disaster — she has suffered a staggering 14 consecutive rejections in marriage negotiations and is on the verge of giving up on marriage entirely. Then, out of nowhere, the dashingly handsome Duke Leonart — who shares a connection with her beloved grandfather — proposes to her.

Caught off guard by the sudden proposal, Lilina misreads the situation entirely, assuming that Leonart is simply overwhelmed by too many admirers and needs a “bug repellent” — someone to keep unwanted suitors away. She accepts on those terms. The truth, of course, is that Leonart’s feelings for Lilina are entirely genuine. Thus begins a fake-engagement romantic comedy between the two.
