The house that was never meant for him

At sixteen, Hayato Suo was expected to become the perfect heir. Instead, he returned home with the boy he loved... and the seven-month-old son they were raising together. Their arrival sends quiet ripples through the ancient Suo estate, where tradition has governed every generation before them. Beyond its walls, multicultural Bankoku-gai continues to thrive beneath rows of lanterns, but even there, whispers begin to spread.

As family expectations tighten, rumors grow louder, and old traditions clash with the future they dream of, Hayato and Nirei must protect the family they've already built even if it means standing against the world that refuses to accept them.

Because sometimes, the hardest part isn't falling in love.
It's convincing the world that your family deserves to exist.
