I Transmigrated In The German Empire
At Ishino High School in Kyoto, the three-day Autumn Cultural Festival is supposed to be a time for fun, food, and new beginnings. For second-year Suzume Kagawa, it becomes something far more dangerous.
On the morning the festival opens, Suzume receives a devastating text from her girlfriend Hoshi: the relationship is over, Hoshi has already boarded a plane to Europe, and she cheated, with someone whose face is hidden in the photo. Heartbroken, Suzume arrives at school and immediately locks eyes with the new transfer student, Yuki Miyashita. One glance is all it takes. Suzume falls hard and fast.
That same day, the school’s traditional Couple Numbers Game pairs every student with a random partner for the entire festival. They must act like a real couple, holding hands, sharing food, completing every event together. When Suzume draws number 47, so does Yuki.
What starts as a forced, pretend romance quickly turns real for Suzume. Yuki is gentle, attentive, and seems to understand her pain in ways no one else can. Publicly, they are the perfect festival couple. Privately, Yuki begins to isolate Suzume from her best friend Atsuko and from Aoi Fujita, the quiet classmate who has secretly loved Suzume for years.
On the second night, Suzume discovers the truth: Yuki was the girl Hoshi cheated with. Instead of walking away, Yuki turns the revelation into a weapon, convincing Suzume that she only transferred to protect her and that their love is destiny.
As the lanterns glow and fireworks light the Kyoto sky, Aoi wages a desperate campaign to expose Yuki’s lies. But Yuki’s obsession runs deeper than anyone realizes, and every attempt to save Suzume only pulls her closer to the girl who planned everything from the start. By the final firework, the festival is over… but for Suzume and Yuki, the real game has only just begun.
