365 Days to the Wedding

This 2024 animated romantic comedy builds its humor around a remarkably specific workplace dilemma. When a Tokyo travel agency announces plans to staff a new branch in Alaska with unattached employees, two fiercely introverted coworkers hatch a desperate plan. Takuya and Rika enjoy their quiet, single lives and have barely exchanged a word at the office, but they decide to fake an engagement to escape the unwanted transfer.

Adapted from the manga, the anime relies on the comedic tension of two reclusive office workers forced into an awkward, high-stakes partnership. With voice talent including Saori Hayami, the series leans into the absurdity of two private people attempting to put on a convincing romantic display for their colleagues. It offers a fresh spin on the fake-marriage trope where the ultimate goal is simply to be left alone.
