Watashi to Kowareta Kyuuketsuki

Kaede is a young woman navigating the harsh realities of college life while desperately trying to hold her fractured family together. After being abandoned by their parents, she has taken on the sole responsibility of raising her younger brother and sister, enduring years of hardship and emotional neglect. Her only source of comfort during those dark times was Yo-chan, a kind young boy who showed her genuine care when no one else would. Her quiet struggle takes an unexpected turn when Itsuki enters her life with a bold declaration: “Itsuki-chan will be my princess.” Before Kaede can even process his words, she finds herself swept into a bewildering situation where sharing a meal suddenly involves mouth-to-mouth feeding. For someone who has spent her youth burdened by survival and responsibility, never once experiencing romance or having a lover, this sudden intimacy is entirely overwhelming. Thrust into a world of bizarre affection she never asked for, Kaede must navigate her growing confusion. Caught between the heavy weight of her past and the startling, unconventional attention of a boy determined to treat her like royalty, she struggles to understand what love might actually mean for someone who has always had to fight just to get by.
