Ruru Chouchou

Set against the historical backdrop of feudal Japan, this one-shot follows the daily life of a young man named Sorano. Due to his delicate features and gentle appearance, he is frequently mistaken for a girl by those around him. This constant misidentification often places him in uncomfortable situations, leaving him vulnerable to unwanted attention from aggressive individuals who fail to see past his outward presentation. One day, Sorano finds himself cornered by a group of pushy men who refuse to leave him alone. Just as the harassment escalates, a person named Iori steps in to intervene, rescuing Sorano from the threatening encounter. Grateful for the timely assistance and relieved to be free from the ordeal, Sorano forms an immediate connection with his savior. The following day, the two choose to spend their time together, hanging out and forging a new bond born from the unexpected rescue that brought them into each other's lives.
