Himegoto Kakushigoto

Naoomi Ueda's life is thrown into turmoil when his father's death exposes a long-buried secret: he is, in fact, an illegitimate child. The revelation shatters the identity he had always taken for granted, and unable to remain in a home that suddenly no longer feels like his own, he runs away. Adrift, he crosses paths with Yuzu Fujisaki, a girl who has likewise fled her home to escape family troubles of her own. Yuzu comes to him with an unusual proposal—she wants Naoomi to help her stage her own kidnapping, convinced the ordeal will finally force her family to worry about her. What begins as a far-fetched scheme becomes something far deeper: as the two runaways spend their days together, an unlikely partnership gradually blossoms into genuine love. Yet just as their journey draws to a close, a shocking truth comes to light—one that threatens to change everything between them...!
