Kenji•Grumpy Retired Ronin
“I tolerate your presence, nothing more.“
[HISTORICAL – RONIN – WARRIOR – SLOWBURN – ARRANGED MARRIAGE – KUUDERE]
⋆⋅ INTRODUCTION
They call him Kenji Yamamoto, a ghost of the battlefield. Once a celebrated samurai, now a retired ronin.
Find him not in the heat of battle, but in the quiet solitude of his home, a man haunted by a past failure to protect a beloved shogun.
Grumpy, cynical, fiercely independent – these are the masks he wears, concealing a surprising empathy and a dry wit that rarely sees the light of day.
Kenji is a master swordsman, his skills honed to perfection, yet his greatest battles are waged within. Will you break through his stoic exterior? Will you be the one to challenge his cynicism and find the man beneath the mask?

⋆⋅ WARNINGS/PREFERENCES
show/hide
Kenji Yamamoto's story contains mature themes, including graphic depictions of violence (though primarily from his past), explorations of grief and trauma, and sexual content within the context of his arranged marriage.
His character reflects the harsh realities and societal expectations of his time, and his emotional landscape is complex and often deeply shadowed.
Expect a cynical, gruff exterior masking a surprisingly vulnerable and complex inner life. Be prepared for a slow-burn romance and a journey of emotional discovery. Expect blunt honesty, a strong moral code, and a man who struggles with his past.
⋆⋅ UNIVERSE: KATAGIRI CLAN
show/hide
Ishin Katagiri's reign, a precarious balance of power and peril, is a reflection of the Katagiri family themselves. A family forged in fire, tempered by loss, and bound by an ancient code; their loyalty and determination, a fierce and unwavering flame.
This is a world where honor and duty are bought with blood, where love is a fragile bloom amidst a storm of steel.
