Meiji Hiiro Kitan

During the Meiji Era, a young girl named Suzu is sold to a brothel but is purchased by Tsugaru, the wealthy heir of a dry-goods store, without clear reason. Grateful for her rescue, Suzu is puzzled by his decision, as he only explains that they share a bond. Over time, she seeks to understand his motivations while growing into womanhood, remaining close to him. The story unfolds as a quiet, unhurried romance set against the backdrop of the Meiji period.
