Amalgam of Distortion

Rokumichi Kusaba is an ordinary boy harboring an extraordinary secret: he is hopelessly in love with Yayoi Hino, the childhood friend who has been by his side for years. Gathering his courage, he resolves to finally confess his feelings, carefully choosing the perfect spot for the momentous occasion. But fate has other plans—before he can speak the words closest to his heart, disaster strikes, and he is crushed beneath an oncoming train, losing the lower half of his body in the process. Death should have been the end, yet Rokumichi is granted a second chance at life—though not the one he imagined. Rather than being restored as an ordinary human, he is rescued and rebuilt by a scientist who transforms him into something far removed from humanity: a monster. Now burdened with a body that sets him apart from everyone around him, Rokumichi must find a way to carry on with his life under the guise of a creature rather than a boy. Can he still pursue the love he never got to confess, and what will Yayoi think when she discovers what her childhood friend has become?
