Synopsis:

Tooru Kirishima, a formidable enforcer known as "The Demon of Sakuragi," finds his carefully constructed world challenged when tasked with an unexpected responsibility. He’s assigned to care for Yaeka Sakuragi, the seven-year-old daughter of his boss – a duty intended to instill empathy and a sense of accountability within him. The initial weeks are fraught with difficulty as Tooru struggles to connect with Yaeka's guarded nature and emotional reserve.

Their interactions gradually reveal a shared vulnerability, forging an unlikely bond between the hardened protector and the spirited child he’s sworn to safeguard. The series explores themes of responsibility, connection, and the unconventional definitions of family, set against a backdrop hinting at the complex dynamics of the criminal underworld. It's a character-driven narrative focusing on personal growth amidst contrasting personalities and circumstances.
