Takane & Hana

Takane & Hana, a 18-issue manga series published in German by Carlsen Comics from 2018 to 2022, is a romantic comedy that flips the classic "poor girl meets rich heir" trope on its head. The story follows Hana, a high school girl who reluctantly takes her sister's place on a disastrous arranged marriage meeting with Takane, the arrogant and wealthy heir to a corporate empire. What begins as a clash of wills between a stubborn teenager and a pompous adult slowly evolves into an unexpectedly sweet and hilarious relationship. This series is beloved for its sharp humor, strong-willed heroine, and the endearing, if ridiculous, dynamic between its two leads.
