OluwaseyiFawole
Aoi Sakuraba has always lived in the shadows of misfortune. Branded as "cursed" by her stepmother and stepsister, abandoned by her father, and haunted by the tragedy that left her elder sister; Kyoka Sakuraba, in a long-term rehabilitation hospital. Aoi's life has been a never-ending storm. The abuse within the walls of her family's grand mansion finally breaks her spirit, and at just 14, she escapes, leaving behind a home that never truly belonged to her.
Now in the crime-ridden town of Sokyoshi, Aoi struggles to survive on her own. For a year, she learns the streets' unspoken rules, witnessing firsthand the lawless chaos ruled by gangs. But when she becomes a first-year student at Sayonaki High, her past refuses to stay buried. As gangs that control Sokyoshi start to take interest in her, Aoi finds herself caught in a dangerous web of power, betrayal and unlikely alliances.
Yet in the midst of the violence and uncertainty, Aoi discovers something unexpected- friendship, love and the strength to fight back. The storm inside her has always raged, but now, it threatens to change everything. With Sokyoshi's gangs tightening their grip, Aoi must decide: will she be swept away, or will she become the storm itself?
