Hi there,
I'm looking for a good arranged marriage romance. It should be a more or less realistic one. I don't want something, where for example the boy loves the girl and therefore forces her to marry him, so that in the end the girl finds out, how much he loves her and what he's done for her -.- I've had too much of that...
I would love it, if both hated each other very intensely(or at least can't stand each other and try to avoid the partner), but had no other choice but to marry. There should be a character development between them.
If it has a happy end, a tragic one or if the two people end up with an other partner and divorce doesn`t matter to me. About genres I don't care that much, either.

If you have any series in your mind, please tell me ^^ it's not that terrible if the romance doesn't fit perfectly in my description. I'd be happy about every suggestion. Thanks!

What I can think of from the top of my head is Otoyomegatari.
Still ongoing and has a historical setting.
Mains don't hate each other though and there's lots of focus on other things besides the main couple.
Also, the husband is 12 and the wife is 20 (I think it was that). So if something like that upsets you, forget I said anything.

I think Goong is good. There is a character development And they don't like each other.

Just to let ya know, it's a tad smutty. But generally it fits what you're lookin' for

thanks so far^^

@The Guy That's a shotacon? I'm not so much into that, but I think I'm gonna give it a try. love the historical setting... ^^

@Adelaida I've heard from that. seems to be a good one

@HumanoidInterface -.- well there I was too, but I think that people who have already read the story can help me more than some description. and some series aren't even categorized yet, although they would fit, so i can't find them...

@midnightmite yeah I know that one. It's really good ^^ Now that you mention it I feel that it must have been ages since I have read it. somehow I feel a strong desire to look into it again

Sweet II, the first chapter.

No, no, not shotacon! Just....y'know....young guy. He doesn't really seem that young, even, apart from being short.

Age gap, yes, but I really wouldn't call it shotacon.

Will no one scanlate Takahashi Miyuki?! T_T

Both otoyomegatari and Goong are A+ shame otoyome only have the 1st plot scanlated.

The only ones I'm reading are already quite popular so I would assume you've already them.
