Original Story and Character Design by Shou Harusono
Story by Kotoko Hachijo

It all started when Akira Kagiura moved into the dorms. He was supposed to have a normal roommate relationship with a normal guy, so the last thing he expected was someone like Taiga Hirano. Although his first impression was of a bad boy delinquent, Hirano’s mother hen nature quickly turned it on its head. And so, over the course of the first six months together, he falls hard for the perfect man…

From the creator of Sasaki and Miyano, comes the beginning of Hirano and Kagiura’s love story!

Bride of the Barrier Master (novel)

By Kureha

Long ago, Japan was protected by five crystal pillars. Though eighteen-year-old Hana Ichise was born to one of the branch families that defend the pillars using supernatural abilities, she has lived in the shadow of her brilliant twin sister, Hazuki, from a young age. When Hana finally awakens to powers of her own one day, however, she opts to hide them out of a desire to complete her high school education in peace. That is, until Saku Ichinomiya, the arrogant yet powerful head of her family’s primary branch, falls for Hana and forces her into signing a marriage contract with him. But can Hana rise to her true potential under the wing of her husband-to-be?
