Garu & Pucca: A Love That Endures

After being sent on a long mission by the king, Garu leaves Sooga Village at thirteen, believing everything will stay the same when he returns. But years later, when he finally comes back, he finds that nothing is as he left it-especially Pucca.

Once relentless in her love, Pucca is no longer chasing him. She has grown into a confident young woman, running her uncles' famous noodle shop and no longer waiting for someone who never looked back. And to Garu's surprise, he isn't the only one who has noticed her change.

Tobe, his longtime rival, has also set his sights on Pucca. Unlike Garu, Tobe doesn't run from his feelings. He stays close, offers her something new, and for the first time, Pucca considers a love that doesn't require chasing.

Now, Garu must face a battle he never trained for-a fight for Pucca's heart. But with Tobe standing in his way and Pucca questioning everything she once believed about love, Garu will have to prove that he's not just ready to stop running... he's ready to stand by her side.
