The Crow's Ballad at Dawn

"You paid for me, you know. Which means you can touch me however you want..."Akito Kanazawa--the burned-out, unappreciated office worker that he is--ain't exactly livin' the high life. At least, not until he stumbles upon a petite yokai in need of saving...and is rewarded with a trip to the luxurious brothel for supernaturals known as the House of Mist! There, he meets Suiren--a bewitching, crow-feathered tengu who serves the House's many clients, including Akito himself. Bound to the House and spurned as a sinner, Suiren's never had an easy life. But perhaps a fleeting chance at true love will finally give him the courage to forge his own destiny...
