Kichiza is a reformed thief who gets targeted in lieu of Fujimori, the third son of a prominent family. Fujimori takes him back to his mansion where he lives in isolation, and decides to keep him there as a respite from his loneliness. I loved the dynamic art, the action, and historical detail in this story. But, at bottom, this is a pretty typical comedic BL narrative dressed in historical garb, with the retired thief in the role of the unwilling uke and the beautiful young man from an elite family as the cool seme. That being said, I can't say I did not enjoy this a great deal. It's not objectively good, per se, but if you're craving some typical genre fare with fantastic art and some nice historical details thrown in, I'd recommend it. ***CW*** Fujimori is handsy and pushy at first, but it definitely goes full on into rapey territory when its revealed that he's been having his housekeeper drug him so he can finger him while he sleeps so Kichiza gets used to anal sex. It's played off as a joke, and the tone of the story is light, but just be aware of it going into it.
The story happens in feudal era when with samurai and they love stories. Asato lives with Koume, his housekeeper, in a huge house due to familiar reasons, till the day Asato finds Kichiza badly injured due to some assassins. How come Asato starts his love for Kichuza and how it will go end while Asato is being in constant danger?
