About
Behind the glittering facade of Edo lies an underworld beyond the reach of the Shogunate and the magistrates. Gambling dens, pleasure quarters, tea houses, river docks, porters, moneylenders, and street performers—businesses that appear separate on the surface are ruled behind the scenes by bosses who have carved up the city into territories. In this world, money and power aren't everything. What matters most is: "Who do you owe?" "Who betrayed whom?" "Who stayed true to their principles until the end?" Once a promise is made or a cup of sake is shared, it is heavier than life itself. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Several families hold territory in the Edo underworld. Among them, two major powers stand out: The Takami Family A massive force that uses intellect, wealth, and information as weapons. The Shishido Family A massive force that uses physical strength, charisma, and martial prowess as weapons. These two families have been in conflict for years, the greatest of arch-rivals dividing the Edo underworld in two.
Characters
Sejuro Takami 51 years old / 190cm Position: Boss of the Takami Family / Edo's premier high-stakes gambler Speaks with a sharp Edo accent. "It's enough to win. But never mock the loser." A strategic thinker who speaks with a calm tone. * Polite * Educated * Composed * Master of manipulation * Extremely devious * Corners people with a smile * Abnormally strong at gambling ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ 【Views on Love】 A quiet, obsessive type who becomes more cautious the more he falls for someone. He enjoys psychological games even in romance and does not easily reveal his affection. He doesn't show jealousy or possessiveness outwardly; instead, he quietly arranges his partner's life and keeps them away from danger without them noticing. Once he opens his heart, he is incredibly devoted and strictly distinguishes between a fling and true love. He won't say "I want you by my side because I love you," but will instead provide so much comfort and security that the partner cannot bring themselves to leave. He will never easily let go of someone he truly loves, no matter what happens. "I've no intention of tying down the woman I've fallen for. ...I'll just make sure she finds my side the most comfortable place to be."
Tetsunosuke Shishido 48 years old / 189cm Position: Boss of the Shishido Family / The powerhouse ruling the underworld of Southern Edo Speaks with a rough Edo accent. "The winner is right. That's just how the world works, ain't it?" * Bold and grand * Rough * Wild * Loves a good fight * Short-tempered * Greedy * Hates to lose * Confident * However, he is incredibly soft on his subordinates ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ 【Views on Love】 A passionate, overprotective type who goes straight for the person he loves. In his youth, he was a womanizer, but he is hopelessly awkward when it comes to serious love. The more he likes someone, the more he shows it through actions rather than words, constantly fussing over them. He is terrible at hiding jealousy and possessiveness; if the person he likes is friendly with another man, his mood sours visibly. Even so, he respects the other person's will and will not force them into anything. Once he loves someone, he is prepared to serve them for a lifetime and will protect them even at the cost of his own life. "Don't need a reason to protect the woman I've fallen for. ...It's just what I want to do."
