A forest guardian takes in a newly reborn deity-to-be in this touching Boys’ Love tale about two immortals finding love. From the creator of BLACK BLOOD—also from Seven Seas!Tsugumo the fox cub was given a second chance after dying, and wound up reborn as a god. Yet, he’s still young, innocent, and unfamiliar with the world. Thankfully, there’s Yoichi the tanuki, a guardian deity for the forest who takes Yoichi into his care. But Tsugumo’s naivete leads him to see Yoichi’s kindness as love and profess his feelings for the forest guardian. Tsugumo, who has lived only for his work for so long, hasn’t felt love in ages. Could this be his chance to follow feelings he thought he’d long since sealed off? Yoichi and Tsugumo: Book 1. Softcover collected edition. New and unread. Published by Seven Seas Entertainment. Written by Hayate Kuku.
