Build to Start Again

Fourteen-year-old Takemichi is used to chaos. When you're the second son of two terrifyingly devoted men—one the powerful head of Vongola and the other an ex-arcobaleno—daily life means espresso traps, rooftop duels, and a mansion that self-destructs on schedule. So when he moves to Japan under a false name to live a quiet, normal life away from his family’s influence, he doesn’t expect much more than school, instant noodles, and maybe new friends.

What he doesn’t expect is to save a man’s life. Or that the man is Shinichiro Sano, older brother to the boy who will one day turn Tokyo upside down.

There are no time leaps this time.

Just intuition, slow-burn feelings, a tangle of dangerous loyalties... and the quiet strength of a boy trying to build something his, even as the world starts to follow.

Self indulgent, so don't expect quick updates.
