Release:

March 2027 (BL label)

What it’s about:

Set in a world shared by humans and winged beings, this slow-burn BL follows Shu, a human caretaker, and Rai, a shy winged heir who keeps to himself. When Shu catches Rai vulnerably crying in his sleep, a tender relationship begins to bud. The plot thickens when Rai adopts an abandoned winged hatchling and insists Shu help raise it—introducing parenting into the mix of a growing romance.

Why fans should care

Fans of character-driven BL with gentle domestic beats will appreciate the combination of emotional vulnerability and the added responsibility of caring for a child. The winged-world premise gives the story a light-touch fantasy flavor without overwhelming the romance.
