Embracing Love

Touma Kusaka is different from others in the Choshu Clan-he doesn’t hate foreigners like they do. When he reunites with Keiichirou Akizuki, a Tokugawa vassal who once saved him from the authorities, the two secretly start learning English together. Meeting in secret despite their families' rivalry, their friendship slowly turns into something deeper. But with war brewing between their clans, their dream of a life together might remain just a dream, torn apart by duty and the bloodlines that bind them.
