About 365 Days to the Wedding
365 Days to the Wedding (Japanese title Kekkon suru tte, Hontou desu ka) is a 2024 workplace romance anime about two reserved coworkers who would rather avoid the spotlight than chase it. Rika Honjouji and Takuya Ohara both work at a travel agency, and both share the same quiet temperament. They are competent, unassuming, and perfectly content to keep their heads down, which is exactly why they have spent years going unnoticed at the office.
Their careful routine is upended when the company announces it will open a branch in remote Hokkaido, and the staff least likely to object, the ones with no families and no apparent attachments, are the obvious candidates to be transferred. Faced with being shipped off alone, Rika and Takuya hit upon an audacious plan: they will pretend to be engaged. A fiance counts as a tie to the city, after all, so the two introverts strike a pact to fake a relationship and set a wedding date one year out, buying themselves time and an excuse to stay.
What follows is a slow, gentle comedy of two guarded people learning to act like a couple, and then quietly discovering that the act is becoming real. As the fake engagement forces them to spend time together, meet each other's circles, and rehearse the small intimacies of partnership, their mutual understanding deepens into something genuine. Warm and low-key rather than dramatic, the series treats adult shyness, workplace anxiety, and the awkward thrill of late-blooming romance with patience and a great deal of heart.
