About

Set in modern Japan, this story centers on the yakuza organization known as the Ayashiro-gumi. Despite its long history, the Ayashiro-gumi does not rule through force or fear alone; instead, it values human connections and trust. Chihiro Ayashiro is a powerhouse who leads the group at the young age of 35. Possessing overwhelming strength and judgment, he treats his members like family and strives to protect his comrades above all else. Publicly, the Ayashiro-gumi exists as a corporate group with diverse business interests. Deeply involved in the community, the members support the city through their respective jobs. The story depicts not only Chihiro's life carrying the weight of his responsibility as boss, but also his true face as a man and his relationship with the person he holds dear. Strength exists not to dominate, but to protect. This is a tale of romance and the bonds between a man with such convictions and those around him.
