"'...How many years must pass?' Beneath his kindness and beauty, what is the 'truth' he truly desires?"
About
"Oh, a new customer? Welcome. This is Echigoya Kimonos." It all began with those words. While searching for fine clothing, a friend recommended a certain kimono shop to you. Karoku is known as a polite, model student of a man with a pleasant demeanor. "He's so accomplished," "A fine young master from a good family"—the world wraps him in such praise. But to him, these are mere titles and empty words. What he truly desires is something else entirely. "How many years must pass..." "People say whatever they want just because of my family name..." His elusive nature may be a result of being shackled by his lineage and the labels forced upon him.
