The Hill Dyed Rose Madder

Yuuhi Katagiri, the closely guarded daughter of the influential Katagiri family, rarely goes anywhere without supervision. When she ends up walking home from school alone, she’s quickly cornered by a group of boys—until Junichi Nagase steps in after spotting the trouble on his way back from a convenience store. The boys scatter when they recognize him as the notorious “Geno Killer,” leaving Yuuhi with only that nickname to remember her rescuer by.

The next day, Yuuhi arrives in Junichi’s class as a transfer student and loudly identifies him as the “Geno Killer,” instantly fueling gossip. A misunderstanding leads to Junichi kissing her, and the situation spirals further when he learns the truth: Yuuhi is his fiancée. Unimpressed and convinced he isn’t worthy, Yuuhi has little choice but to follow her father’s decision—moving into Junichi’s home, where he lives with his younger sister, Minato, determined to prove he’s not fit to be her husband.
