COLD HEART Series [Illustrated]


Book 1: COLD HEART in TOKYO

Book 2: COLD HEART in NEWYORK 

Book 3: COLD THE FINAL

Author: Konohara Narise (木原音瀬)

Synopsis: In the COLD HEART trilogy, Konohara delivers a devastatingly intimate exploration of love at its most obsessive, broken, and quietly redemptive. The story follows Masahiko Kusuda, an unassuming jewelry brand co-owner, whose life takes a drastic turn when he becomes entangled with Kaito Akizawa—a brilliant but volatile former child actor.

What begins as a business arrangement soon spirals into an emotional storm neither of them are prepared for. Through misunderstandings, unspoken traumas, and a dangerously imbalanced power dynamic, Kusuda and Akizawa are forced to confront their own limitations: one afraid to love, the other incapable of letting go.

Set between Tokyo and New York, the trilogy charts their uneasy relationship through collapse, separation, and the slow, fragile path toward healing. As seasons change and distance reshapes them, the question lingers—can something so damaged still become something lasting?

COLD HEART in NEWYORK: Chapter 17

Previous   TOC Pretending to fall for Jessica’s ploy, Akizawa headed for the apartment, timing it so he would arrive at the same hour as yesterday. The sky was cloudless once again, and the searing sunlight beat down with a ferocity that seemed capable of roasting a person alive. Still bothered by Jessica having eaten the cookies and her comment— “Masahiko doesn’t really like sweets” —he’d bought a six-pack of beer at the supermarket instead. He arrived in front of the apartment at nearly the same time as the day before, and suddenly realized—yesterday he’d gotten in because an old lady had exited. If no one came or went today, he wouldn’t even get into the entrance. Should he ring the intercom and have Jessica let him in? No way. That was the one thing he absolutely didn’t want to do. And if Masahiko answered, it would be even worse. He had no choice but to wait for someone to enter or exit. He stood off to the side of the door, waiting. There was no awning, so the bare skin of hi...
