A coming of age story placed after chapter 205 so spoilers ahead.
Shinobu sees Giyuu as a little brother, especially since he's five years younger than her. However, for some reason, whenever she looks at him, she's reminded of someone. Someone who she loved very dearly. However, no matter how much he reminds her of someone, she can't fall in love with him. It wouldn't be fair to both him and to that person.
On the flip side, Giyuu has been hopelessly in love with Shinobu and has been trying for years to get her to see him as a man rather than a little brother. However, she's always one step ahead of him and he's always chasing after her. Five years is a large gap and it doesn't help that she doesn't want to see him in any other way. Yet he can't help but to reach out to her again and again.
In their previous lives neither were able to reach out to each other. However, with a second chance, will they get their ever after?
