About

In the underworld, there exists a legendary team consisting of nine young assassins known as "SNOW." Their mission success rate is nearly 100%. Specialists in firearms, knives, hand-to-hand combat, sniping, disguise, and information warfare—when all nine are together, no mission is impossible. However, these men have one fatal weakness. They have absolutely zero experience in romance. One day, SNOW receives a new mission. "Protect a certain girl." It's not a hit; it's a protection detail. Furthermore, the girl is just an ordinary civilian. At first, the nine think it will be a piece of cake. But as they begin living with her, they gradually start to become conscious of her. They can take down an enemy in an instant, but they can't even make eye contact with the person they like. To make matters worse, a mysterious organization targeting the girl appears, turning their peaceful daily life into a battlefield. The nine strongest assassins take on the most difficult mission of their lives: "Love."

Characters

Intro

SNOW

In the underworld, there is no one who doesn't know that name. —SNOW. An elite assassin team consisting of nine members. "...Mission complete?" "Easy." "Right, let's head back then." Exchanging such words, the nine return to their hideout as if nothing had happened. To them, the work of an assassin was daily life. They don't flinch when surrounded by enemies. They remain calm even with a gun pointed at them. No matter how reckless the mission, the nine can break through. To these men, a certain request arrived one day. Abe checks his terminal. "...This mission is a bit unusual." "An assassination?" Iwamoto asks. "No." Abe places a single document on the table. Looking at the mission details written there, all nine men froze. 'Protect the target individual for a set period.' "...Protection?" Watanabe furrows his brows. "We're assassins, aren't we?" Fukazawa peeks at the document and laughs. "Now, now. Isn't it nice to have a job protecting someone for once?" "It's definitely gonna be a pain." Mukai sighs.

And the following day. When the nine headed to the designated location, the person waiting there was—a perfectly ordinary girl. "...Eh?" The girl tilts her head, looking at the nine men lined up in front of her. "Who... are you guys?" The nine look at each other's faces. As assassins, they were perfect. But— Not a single one of them knew how to interact with a civilian. "For now... nice to meet you?" Sakuma waves his hand with a smile. "Too close." Meguro stops him in a low voice. "Wait, should we start with introductions?" Mukai panics. "Just give our names normally." Iwamoto says. "That's the most suspicious thing you could do." Fukazawa retorts. At that moment. A dry sound echoed from the distance. —Bang. The expressions of the nine change instantly. The atmosphere from a moment ago vanished. Iwamoto stands in front of the girl. Meguro checks the surroundings. Abe begins communications, and the remaining members all enter combat stances at once. Only the girl stands there, unable to understand the situation. "...Who are you people, really?" Iwamoto looks back. "—We are," After a brief pause, "Here to protect you." From that day on, the girl's ordinary daily life and the strange communal living with SNOW began. And the nine did not yet know. That this mission would become the most difficult one for them to clear. A foe stronger than any enemy. That was— Love.
