Synopsis

"I'll kiss every inch of your skin, even your scar and all of your imperfections, and I'll never get tired of it."

The Yoshino Clan of Kyoto is known as a strong candidate for their skills, tactics, and leadership, but after his parents' brutal death, the 15-year-old Haru is forced to leave his hometown and make a new beginning in Tokyo.

The young samurai embraced his new life and as years passed, he became one of the hottest and most well-known baristas in the metropolis. Now goes by the name of Yagami Haru, he encounters a broken hearted Aiuchi Sakura one rainy night, a woman whose cruel past seems to be connected to him.

How would things turn out if the woman, whom he comforted and took care of, leads him to the killers of his parents?

PREVIEW

"And now... I'm alone again..." she murmured.

There was a moment of silence. Haru clearly understood what it meant to be 'alone' and how hard it was to be by himself after his parent's death. Thankfully, he was found by Junichi and took care of him. He's unsure as to what she meant with 'alone again' though. However, what matters more was for Sakura to have her first meal of the day and drink her meds.

Sakura heaved a deep breath and finally pulled herself together before glancing at him, not worrying about how messed up she was.

"I'm… sorry," she sniffed and wiped her tears. "That's enough of me being an embarrassment for today... I guess…'' she started searching for something on her bed, thinking of what to tell him next, but she suddenly felt lightheaded from all the crying, her body collapsing right onto his chest.

This is a slow-burn romance. Updated one or twice a week.

I love seeing how things are going and with how in the early chapters there are already interactions with what I pressume are the leads. Please don't drop this for it really got good potential to grow if the plot continued to be handled well in the future. It may even give us the feels man. Though in the first few chaps provided, I'm already sympathizing with the 'female' lead. I really just hope you could upload more in the future dear Author :)

Loving this author's story! I wish there were more chapters available but sadly I shall have to wait patiently. The writing style is easy to read and the story itself is very enjoyable. I am already rooting for our Male Lead! I couldn't help pepper the chapters with my comments. Lo siento author-san.

Kudos and your reader here. Peace ✌️

This was good. The story had a flare of struggle and tranquility (a rather odd mix). The writing quality was better than most webnovels. It read like a light novel. Perhaps you're Japanese?

Awesome, awesome! 👏👏👏 It's a page turner right from the prologue. It offers a new flavor to the webnovel world. Keep on writing, author. I am excited how things will unfold based on the synopsis.

I already like the first interactions between the male and female lead and basing on the synopsis, I am really looking forward as to how their relationship will develop in the future! The vivid descriptions establish the mood very well and set the tone of scenes. The food descriptions are a plus! (Thanks for making me crave for foodagjakg). I'm a bit sad that the author hasn't updated the story yet :( so I really hope that this will be updated soon. Take your time, dear author!!

Reading the first chapter made me crave for coffee, and it felt like I was in a cafe while listening to the chapter's playlist, too. I don't wanna talk about the 2nd chapter cos it's too much to handle. (ー△ー;) I'm curious how a samurai, turned barista, adapted to the modern way of life. Can't wait for more interactions from Haru and Sakura. o(≧∇≦o)

An excellent novel with an interesting premise, I read a lot of gruesome novels, and nothing like a dash of romance-slice of life healed my inner demons, this novel consists of a likable cast of characters and an intriguing plot progression. I look forward to more author! kudos to you.
