Five brothers, a stepmother, a stepsister, a grandmother, and an uncle - all strangers, yet bound to her by ties of blood and circumstance.

Will she find love and acceptance among her new family?
Can she overcome the traumas of her past and learn to trust again?
Or will the wounds of her childhood forever define her?

The Rabbit's Liver
Naomi Ayase thought the hardest part was losing her mother. She was wrong. Now trapped in the opulent Amamiya estate, the girl finds herself under the "protective" care of her stepfather-Ryuji Amamiya, a powerful yakuza boss who treats her like precious, fragile cargo. What began as temporary guardianship has stretched into a year of isolation, private tutors, and increasingly suffocating concern for her "safety." As Naomi finally begins to emerge from her grief, she realizes the truth: Ryuji has no intention of letting her go. Ever. His gentle words and paternal touches carry an undercurrent she can't quite name, and his promises of protection feel more like threats with each passing day. Desperate to escape to college in America, Naomi begins plotting her freedom. But she's underestimated her opponent. Ryuji didn't become the head of a centuries-old criminal organization by letting what he covets slip away-and he's decided that includes his late wife's daughter. ➽──────────────❥ You can expect: Yakuza doing Actual Yakuza Things (TM), Yakuza members trying to uncles/brothers/dads, ruthless rich kids, hurt/comfort and unlikely friendships. ➽──────────────❥ Title is from the Korean folktale by the same name.
