Malaysian publisher Gempak Starz announced on Saturday that it has licensed Chiaki Karasawa's Raikan Cinta Di Desa (Inaka Kekkon) manga. The company released both volumes of the manga simultaneously.
Raikan Cinta Di Desa collects four short one-shot manga by Karasawa. Gempak Starz describes the manga:
Daisuke is an elite urbanite, but is one day asked to inherit his family's farm and wed Haruka, whom he was engaged to on a formality. Daisuke initially decides to marry and then divorce the plain woman in her 30s, having had no intention to maintain a relationship with her. However, without him even noticing, the woman begins to capture his heart.
Aside from the title story, the manga also contains the one-shot manga "Bunga Api Penentu Perkahwinan'," "Usaha Berkahwin Si Lurus Bendul," and "Lamaran Di Hotel Cinta." Karasawa published the manga in Hakusensha's Ane LaLa magazine from 2013 to 2014. Hakusensha published the volume in June 2014. Karasawa published more short manga afterward dealing with the theme of marriage, and collected them as the second volume in the Inaka Kekkon series, which Hakusensha published in May 2015.
