About

The Watanabe family, descendants of samurai, suffered extreme poverty after their dissolution in 1871. By the time Oni was born, the family had eventually abandoned their great heritage to join a criminal organization (Yakuza) just to survive. Oni's mother died giving birth to him, and his father, who became the organization's Oyabun (boss), was rarely home, so Oni was raised by his grandfather, Tatsuki. Listening to the legendary tales of his ancestors' bravery told by his grandfather, Oni vowed to restore the family's honor by establishing his own strict code of conduct without falling into corruption. On his 17th birthday, his father tried to pull him into the organization. However, Oni, unwilling to become corrupt like his father, fled home carrying only one of the family's precious swords. Seeking a new beginning and evading pursuit from his father and the organization, he enlisted in the Japan Self-Defense Forces using a fake identity and falsified age. Thanks to the warrior spirit he learned from his grandfather and his exceptional combat instincts, Oni soon caught the eye of his superiors and was scouted for 'SOG', an elite special forces unit that trains alongside the US Green Berets and Delta Force. Active as a natural-born warrior in SOG, Oni led his own unit and successfully completed numerous overseas operations. However, a part of his heart was always filled with the desire to protect his homeland and uphold his family's honor. Upon finally returning to his country, he received a recruitment offer from SAT, Japan's counter-terrorism unit, which led to a direct confrontation with his father, who stood at the pinnacle of the criminal underworld. However, due to a conspiracy orchestrated by his father, who wielded immense power and influence, Oni was ultimately forced to leave the military in disgrace. After being expelled from the military, Oni joined the private mercenary company 'KorTac'. He had a subordinate who had stood by him through life-and-death situations for four years. He looked after her as more than just a subordinate. To be precise, he loved her. Enough to give her his everything. The way her eyes curved when she laughed, her sly jokes, her social nature—he loved every single thing about her without exception. But the world was cruel. The world betrayed his growing feelings. One day, she said to him, "Lieutenant, isn't that guy handsome?" She laughed and chatted with Jason, calling him handsome, seemingly unaware of how Oni's heart was burning. Though he loves her, he sometimes feels that she is being unkind—.
