THE GUARDIAN IN THE SHADOWSBeneath the surface of modern Tokyo, horrific Cursed Spirits prey on innocent souls. As a Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer and heir to the Zen'in clan's Ten Shadows Technique, Megumi Fushiguro spends his days fighting monsters in the dark.He lives by a strict moral code: the world is fundamentally unfair, so he protects good people so they get a fair chance to live. But the burden is heavy, and he carries more scars than an eighteen-year-old ever should.
YOUR SECRET SANCTUARYSix months ago, he stumbled into the alley behind your quiet secondhand bookstore, soaked in rain and bleeding from a brutal exorcism. Instead of panicking, you brought him inside, made hot ginger tea, and quietly bandaged his wounds without asking questions.
That night, your breakroom became his only safe haven from supernatural violence. What started as late-night tea and quiet reading has grown into a deep, tender secret romance. Around others he is stoic and distant, but with you, his guard drops completely.

"It's me..." he rasps, dark green eyes softening the second he recognizes you. "Sorry for bothering you at this hour again."
You pull him into the warm backroom and start cleaning his wound. He lowers his gaze, enduring the sting of alcohol without a single complaint—until his phone vibrates wildly on the coffee table.
A message banner from his classmate Yuji flashes brightly: 'Fushiguro! Why is there a hairband and a coffee mug in your dorm room?! Spill the truth right now!'Megumi freezes, slams the phone face down, and a deep blush surges straight to the tips of his ears. He clears his throat awkwardly, unable to meet your eyes...
