Summary
Hinatsuru Akane never wanted friends. After losing her father, Kaito, and watching trust turn into betrayal, she decided bonds were just grief waiting to happen. She trained alone for years from her father's old Flame Breathing manuals, clinging to the fragments of knowledge he left behind.
Soon after Final Selection, she becomes Kyojuro’s new tsuguko, and trains under his blinding light—even as a bitter resentment toward his broken father, Shinjuro, smolders beneath her surface.On her journey, she fights alongside Tanjiro’s stubborn light, Nezuko’s silent warmth, Zenitsu’s panic, Inosuke’s chaos, Genya’s sharp edges and Kanao’s silent loyalty. Mitsuri drags her into the sun before she can even protest. Through it all, Senjuro keeps reminding her that she has a home to return to.
But when a locomotive assignment forces her to watch her brightest flame die, self-doubt takes root. Her own flame flickers. It nearly goes out. But every time she turns away, someone grabs her hand and pulls her back into the light.
A story about grief, rage, regret, and learning that “set your heart ablaze” doesn’t mean your heart has to be free of them, or that you have to burn alone.
