Amai Kajitsu

Noel has known nothing but abandonment. Taken in as an orphan by a neighboring kingdom, she comes under the authority of a prophet-king whose designs for his subjects are as strange as they are unsettling. What should have been a chance at a new life instead becomes a relentless ordeal, plunging her into a world of suffering, pain, humiliation, and blood-soaked battles that test her at every turn. Yet Noel refuses to break. Beneath her endurance burns a single, unwavering resolve: revenge. Every wound she suffers and every cruelty she withstands only sharpens her determination, driving her to survive it all for the sake of the vengeance she is determined to claim. The volume then turns to *Sweet Fruit*, the tale of a knight whose strength is nothing short of overwhelming. A merciless slayer of goblins, he claims victory with effortless ease—and with it, rewards every bit as sweet as they are indulgent. A lighthearted bonus goblin comic brings the collection to a close.
