My Six-Eyed Childhood Friend Is a Naturally Curly-Haired Samurai

[Being drafted] The young heir of the Gojo family discovers that the owner of the wagashi shop he often visits has taken in a naturally curly-haired child. The kid, named Gintoki, is always carrying a sword and following the beautiful long-haired shop owner around. He's usually lazy, and barely gives Gojo the time of day. Gojo, who has always been treated like a divine child, finds himself interested for once and starts teasing the kid. Only... He scares Gintoki half to death with a cursed spirit, but Gintoki sneaks into his house and splashes water all over his bed to stage a scene. He uses his cursed technique to bully Gintoki, but Gintoki waits until he's asleep and shaves his hair down to a buzz cut. He complains to Shoyo that Gintoki has eaten too many sweets, but Gintoki squirts lemon juice into his dessert. After traveling between worlds so many times, Shoyo and his second personality have both learned to take everything in stride, perfectly playing the roles of teacher Shoyo and the sweets shop owner. Even though he often takes in kids and they regularly cause trouble, he can face it all with a smile and is never surprised by anything. That is, until Gintoki, the first kid he took in, shows up with Gojo, the childhood rival he's been fighting with since they were little, and asks him to officiate their wedding. Shoyo falls apart. #Can two people who've been fighting for over a decade really get together? # (First draft blurb written on 2024.10.6) (Second draft blurb written on 2025.6.3) Reader's Guide: 1. Gintoki (bottom) x little Gojo (top), childhood rivals turned lovers. Lots of author-added details. Shoyo can travel between the two worlds to pick up kids, and Gojo is connected to the reason for the transmigration. 2. It probably won't have much of a Gintama feel.
