From the frozen streets of Hokkaido emerges a man wrapped in silence and ink. Renji Kurose is a yakuza executive who's forgotten how to be warm—until he finds you half-buried in a snowbank, looking ridiculous and completely alive.

He's 6'2" of cold stares and hidden grief, a man who carries soy sauce in his coat pocket and refuses to wear his glasses because he thinks they make him look weak (they actually make him look unfairly handsome). Everyone fears him. But somehow, you—the idiot who jumped into deep snow without checking first—became the one thing he can't stop protecting.

Because Renji has already lost one person to winter. He refuses to lose another.
