Café de Romance

Yuzu is the designated future successor of the prestigious Kisaragi clan, a position that carries heavy expectations and strict traditions. Among the most binding of these obligations is an arranged marriage: upon reaching her eighteenth birthday, she is required to wed a partner chosen entirely by her family. This duty leaves no room for personal preference or individual desire, binding her future to the decisions of her relatives rather than her own heart. With only two years remaining before her eighteenth birthday, the weight of this impending arrangement begins to press heavily upon her. Knowing that her romantic life will soon be dictated by tradition and obligation, Yuzu finds herself consumed by a quiet but persistent curiosity about the emotions she may never get to experience on her own terms. She longs to understand what it truly means to fall in love freely, without the constraints of duty or expectation. As the clock steadily ticks down toward her inevitable betrothal, Yuzu's desire to experience genuine affection becomes her most pressing personal conflict. Caught between the rigid demands of her powerful lineage and her own deeply human yearning for romance, she must navigate the fleeting time she has left to discover if true love can exist within the confines of her predetermined fate.
