Crossed Realities: Ink and Blood (Takano Masamune x Kiryuu Zero) (Kaname x Zero)
4 parts Ongoing MatureAt Cross Academy, under the shroud of a moonlit night, 16 year old Zero Kiryuu reaches his breaking point: sick of being used by Kaname Kuran, he finally snaps-raising Bloody Rose and firing without hesitation.
Kaname awakens not in death, but in disorientation. He finds himself in a cramped Tokyo apartment, surrounded by mundane chaos...
There he sees Kiryuu-kun? worn by time, and living a life Kaname never imagined: as a manga artist known by the pen name Bloody Rose...
Masamune Takano, Editor-in-Chief of Marukawa Publishing-and a man deeply in love with Zero. Takano's affection is sharp, possessive, and layered with frustration, a mirror to Kaname's own buried emotions.
As Kaname watches this strange domestic scene unfold, he begins to unravel. The names, the faces-they're the same, yet changed. And slowly, painfully, he realizes that the hatred he thought he held for Zero at Cross Academy was never hatred at all. It was longing. It was fear.
It was love, twisted by pride and centuries of silence.
