Keiko Tanaka is desperate to dodge her aunt's endless matchmaking-and when a joke in a cemetery summons the ghost of Shiro Tsurugi, she thinks she's found the perfect "fake" boyfriend to scare off any suitors. Shiro, bound by honor and a final wish, agrees to coach her through every aspect of modern dating: from eye contact and body language to staged "dates" and public displays of affection. But as Keiko's confidence-and her feelings-grow, she begins to question whether she's the one in control.
When the handsome, real-world Hiroto Sakamura asks Keiko to be his date, she's torn between the warmth of something genuine and the thrill of a bond that transcends life and death. As Shiro's spectral presence becomes more tangible-and his own past before the samurai battle surfaces-Keiko must decide where her heart truly belongs. Will she find "true love" in the arms of a living boy... or learn to love a ghost beyond the grave?
My Fake Boyfriend Is a Ghost blends laugh-out-loud modern romance with a touch of the supernatural-and proves that sometimes, the only way to fall in love is to believe in what you can't see.
