When a Cold-Blooded Killer Starts Writing Deadline Reminders

Ginzo, an elite assassin who has ruled the night for decades, has faced life and death at gunpoint, cold-blooded and unrestrained. He's killed traitors, cleared obstacles, and held up a criminal organization on the verge of collapse. He thought the rest of his life would be spent among gunpowder smoke, gunshots, and endless slaughter. Until an order sent him to the absurdly bizarre Yokohama. A Porsche meets Rashomon. A liquor distillery assassin collides with a deranged literary youth from the Port Mafia. Their first meeting is all hostility; working together is pure chaos. He came to investigate the ability users and get the Port Mafia under his thumb. He never imagined the only thing he'd end up controlling was a certain sickly literary genius's writing schedule. The once-feared nighttime reaper who executed countless people suddenly changes careers and becomes a dedicated editor who chases one author for manuscripts. Everyone is horrified: The cold-blooded assassin is emailing Ryunosuke Akutagawa to chase up his draft?! Ginzo keeps a cool face, but inside he's grumbling furiously: The Organization's overtime is unpaid, the Port Mafia's executives keep missing deadlines, Yokohama's supernatural abilities are absurd, and there's not one normal person in the whole world. Everyone knows Ryunosuke Akutagawa is vicious and obsessive, a ruthless killer and the dreaded black blade of Yokohama. No one knows that this notorious Port Mafia executive secretly dreams of becoming a writer. He writes of the night and of lonely courage, but keeps getting stuck and putting off his manuscripts day after day. Until he meets the strictest, most devoted editor, one who keeps an eye on both his life and his deadlines. He coughs blood over his desk as he writes; Ginzo silently stays by his side. He fights for his life in dire straits; Ginzo cuts down his pursuers with a gun. He writes of the darkness of the human world; Ginzo becomes his only dawn. From cross-world partners at odds to the one person each would risk everything for. Ginzo turns his back on the darkness he devoted half his life to, casts off the slaughter and shackles that burden him, and heads for his one true home in Yokohama. Other people's love is passionate and loud. Their love is hidden in countless reminder emails, silent vigils, and chapters of a novel written just for him. Once, I lived by the gun, slaughtering all who dwelled in the night. Now I write for you, urging you onward through all the years of your life. This is a fused universe, so the characters' life paths differ from the original. [Pinned bonus scene] Bonus scene pinned after completion: Someone asks Ginzo what the most ridiculous career change of his life was. Leaning against the balcony railing, the man runs his finger across the newly updated manuscript on his screen. His voice is cool, but softened by a trace of tenderness: “After killing my way through the neon-lit night, I ended up as one man's full-time editor, watching over the rest of his life.” Theme: Staying together in the darkness
