About this series
Reiji and his sister Hisako are the children of the Kawaguchi group's leader, sworn enemies of the Seidoukai. Orphaned by the conflict between groups tearing the city apart, they are taken in by none other than Domoto, the head of the Seidoukai himself. Masatsugu, young heir to the Seidoukai, is immediately besotted with the siblings, cherishing and looking after them in the hopes of one day seeing Reiji and Hisako achieve their own bright futures, free from the stain of the criminal underworld. But his father holds less than noble intentions toward the two — and there is no easy escape from the old hatreds and bad blood of the past.
This book contains strong language and mature themes, including mentions of sexual violence, and discussion of abuse. It is not intended for anyone under 16 years of age.

In a run-down city riddled with poverty and gangs, survival is a daily struggle for Yuki and his best friend Tetsu. Selling fake drugs in shady back alleys doesn't make them much money, so in a desperate attempt to pay for Yuki's ill brother's hospitalization, the two of them get caught trying to break into the vault of the Seidoukai— an infamous yakuza group. However, Yuki catches the eye of the gang's young boss, Kazutaka Hyoudo, and the two of them escape imminent death after striking a deal. Hyoudo is willing to take care of his brother's hospital bills— for a price. A weekly visit to his office doesn't seem like much to pay, but as tensions grow between the Seidoukai and another power-hungry gang, will Yuki and Tetsu be caught up in the resulting fallout?
