A 2025 Chill Chill BL Award winner!
Tsubaki Koton is a monster \u2014 a violent delinquent with a chilling past and a terrifying image to match. No other student dares to approach him, not even now he\u2019s transferred to a new high school. His anti-heroic acts of selflessness end only in bloodshed and rumors that spiral out of control. But one night, he\u2019s followed home by a stranger who sets out to change his life for good. This boy, stubborn and hauntingly beautiful, is the pure-hearted Kabuto Yuuki, with his stunning jewel-like eyes that see past Tsubaki\u2019s fearsome charade. But although someone finally sees Tsubaki for who he truly is, Kabuto cannot be seen at all. After all, Kabuto is a ghost.
\u201cThis volume was impossibly adorable. There was no way, honestly, to dislike his story about a \u201cmonster\u201d with a heart of gold and the ghost who pushes him to interact more with the people around him, who gets a little jealous of him when he does. [\u2026] Super cute, go ahead and read it.\u201d \u2014 Erica Friedman, Anime News Network
Tsubaki Koton, feared as the delinquent \u201cmonster\u201d of his high school, has been stabbed by a familiar student with a grudge. With no time to treat his injuries, he runs off in search of his ghostly savior, Kabuto, who he fears will lose consciousness if he leaves his side for too long. Luckily, Tsubaki finds him in the alley where they first met and soon gets himself patched up. But as the two grow closer together, the loyal Kabuto\u2014whose status as unfortunately dead isolates him from the world around him\u2014yearns for his handsome friend\u2019s touch. If only they knew a certain new transfer student in need of a little penance whose body is just compatible enough...
