Don’t Say You Love Me

The assassination of a wealthy and powerful family in Tōkyō triggers a series of tragic events, prompting retaliation from the dreaded Yakuza. Forced to flee, Saitō Harada seeks refuge in Romania. He settles in a remote mountain town in Transylvania, where his name quickly becomes synonymous with violence. Earning the moniker The Enforcer for his ruthless efficiency, he builds a reputation overseeing the smuggling of illegal timber across borders. Plagued by grief, exiled from his homeland, and trapped in a lonely existence, Saitō longs for an honorable death-one worthy of his strict code of honor. But the city's wannabe "Italian mobsters" are nothing more than pretenders, unworthy of delivering the end he seeks. Clara Octavian is a quiet, withdrawn high school senior who does her best not to stand out. Hated and abused by her own family, Clara trusts no one. But when a twist of fate throws her into Saitō's arms, their lives take an unexpected turn-one that neither of them was prepared for.
