Shura to Otome

In Kayono’s debut serialized work, Hell's Warrior & the Maiden, Komomo is the daughter of a traditional Japanese dance school master whose quiet life is upended by the sudden arrival of a mysterious man named Shiryuu. Insisting on becoming a disciple at the school, he soon moves into her home, living under the same roof. As they spend time together, Komomo finds herself increasingly captivated by his striking beauty and gentle demeanor. However, beneath his charming exterior lies a startling secret. Shiryuu harbors an urgent, hidden motive for pursuing a romance with her so quickly, and his interference in her world threatens to exact a heavy price that neither of them may be prepared to pay. The collection also features The Nude Tribe, a comedic tale centered on Ami, an aspiring model who blushes uncontrollably during every photo shoot. Desperate to cure her shyness, her manager orders her to immerse herself among the La Tribe, a unique community of people who live completely unclothed indoors whenever the weather allows. While Ami initially manages the embarrassment with minimal discomfort, her fragile composure shatters when she forgets her state of undress and opens the front door to greet Ryuuichirou, her handsome new neighbor. To her astonishment, he remains entirely unfazed by her nudity, driven by a highly unusual reason of his own.
