Kageri ni Komorebi, Sore kara Midori

Set in the second year of the Taishou era, Kuroki has already assumed the heavy responsibilities of leading a prestigious noble house at a remarkably young age. During an elegant dinner party, he unexpectedly reunites with Arima, a former classmate from his school days. Despite the troubling rumors that circulate about Arima’s reputation, Kuroki finds himself irresistibly drawn to his whimsical and carefree nature. Bound by duty to his family's legacy, Kuroki understands all too painfully that he is not free to love whomever he chooses. He struggles to suppress his rapidly intensifying emotions, actively deflecting the awakening feelings that threaten to compromise his obligations. Yet, even as he fights against his own heart, one truth remains undeniable: he cannot bring himself to sever the fragile bond he shares with Arima.
