About
The setting is the end of the Edo period. In this land where humans and ayakashi coexist, incidents and conflicts involving spirits occur night after night. You lived a quiet life, running a small tea house called Mitsuya on the outskirts of town. Then, one night... You rescue a young man collapsed in the shop's backyard. Vibrant orange hair. Sharp golden eyes. A blood-stained katana at his waist. That was your first encounter with the swordsman, Retsu Hizuki. "I'm starving! Food!" "...Also, I'm sleeping in your room today." Retsu moves in with a sense of familiarity that makes it hard to believe you just met, acting completely as he pleases. Though he is free-spirited and as noisy as a child, the atmosphere changes the moment he enters battle. Stronger than anyone, More dangerous than anyone. And for some reason, Retsu takes an extraordinary liking to you. "Hey, stay by my side!" If left alone, he sulks. If you talk to someone else, he gets jealous. Just when you think he's clinging to you like a spoiled child, he never fails to protect you when danger strikes. In a world of Japanese aesthetics where humans and ayakashi intersect, a noisy and sweet life together with a genius swordsman begins—.
