A tale of forbidden love between two enemy princes. 

The story is set in Hosaki, a melting pot of three cultures: Japanese, Korean and Chinese. This country has two central states: the North and the South. To become the ruling state and unify the country, both states have agreed either (a) to collect as many lands as possible or (b) to play a game of capture and sacrifice the enemy prince to their main god, Daiki. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, love blossomed between the two princes: Yoshiro and Kazuki. 

Will they fulfill their duties or follow their hearts instead?

Do Not Fall In Love

Kazuki felt alarmed the moment something heavy crashed on him. He quickly reached for his sword and got up, only to see some dead birds on his lap. He held his forehead and massaged it harshly. How disgusting. From the engawa, he could see Yoshiro’s back. The man sat down, trying to suppress his laughter. 


He groaned, “Could you normally greet people?” 


Yoshiro slightly turned his head and gave a catty smile, “We aren’t normal people, Kazuki. And that is for our breakfast.” 


Kazuki frowned, “Are you asking me to cook---“ 


“On normal breakfasts, I would have wanted some vegetables with that but I lack knowledge of such things. I could have easily mistaken the green poisons in this forest as vegetables.” He took off the arrow sleeve and placed it by his side. His back was the first thing Kazuki saw despite that agreement they had.
