Itoshi Wotome: Kimi ga Kokoro wa

Set against the backdrop of feudal Japan, this historical romance follows Tachibana-hime, the spirited and tomboyish daughter of a high-ranking official. Unlike the refined noblewomen expected of her station, she is defined by her fierce devotion to a singular, deeply personal vow: to protect and care for Sakura, her precious companion. Their bond transcends mere duty, blossoming into a profound love that anchors them both in a world governed by rigid traditions and unyielding expectations. However, the aristocratic society they inhabit offers little mercy to those who defy convention. The harsh realities of noble life impose relentless pressures on their relationship, presenting formidable challenges at every turn. Political obligations, societal scrutiny, and the strict demands of their class conspire to create obstacles that threaten to forcefully tear them apart. As external forces close in, Tachibana-hime must navigate the treacherous waters of the feudal elite while keeping her promise intact. With enemies and circumstances determined to sever their connection, the young noblewoman faces an ultimate test of devotion. She must fight not only the constraints of her privileged upbringing but also the looming dangers that target the one she holds dearest. In a world where duty often eclipses desire, Tachibana-hime's unwavering love for Sakura becomes her greatest weapon—and perhaps their only hope for survival.
