Thirty-somethings Mami and Kakeru are engaged to be married, a successful outcome of the konkatsu matchmaking service they both signed up for. Arrogant Kakeru is thrilled to have found a wife-to-be as reserved and virtuous as Mami, especially when all his friends seem to have settled down already. As their relationship progresses, Mami reveals that she has been troubled by a stalker in the past, a person who once even broke into her home. So, when Mami goes missing one night shortly after their engagement, a distraught Kakeru suspects she’s been found by her stalker and embarks on a search for Mami to bring her home. Instead, he uncovers a trail of secrets about his fiancée's past and is forced to confront the troubling realities of their relationship.
Already a million-copy bestseller in Japan, Arrogance and Virtue is a twisty, page-turning mystery that explores romance, modern marriage, and pressures to find “the one”—as well as the love and understanding that can only come from true self-acceptance.
