Eiri Uesugi

A renowned romance novelist hailing from Kyoto, this charismatic writer is a massive icon among female readers. Though highly talented and award-winning, he possesses a caustic, sarcastic wit and a surprisingly detached emotional nature. His cynical demeanor stems from a traumatic teenage incident known as the Kitazawa incident, which stripped away his once-cheerful disposition. After a cold first encounter with Shuichi Shindou, the two navigated a turbulent, high-profile romance while struggling to manage their shared fame.
