Summary
Young artist Victor Nikiforov comes to Edo on a ship, facing a world very much unlike his own. For it bleeds ink and is adorned with petals, with great cruelty and beauty resting side by side. A world in which everyone, and everything, has its designated place.
But everything in Edo is a façade, and as an unexpected encounter at the theatre changes the course of Victor's travels, he steps into the world hidden behind the paper doors. And in it, a young man called Yuuri, dressed in melancholia, married to the most powerful man of Edo.
Victor never stood a chance.

Summary
"Imagine me deciding to feel bad about everything I’ve ever done, and then imagine what kind of life I’ll have. Because I’m not brave enough to live in some fucked up eighteen-hundreds-style purgatory. I’d rather die. There’s no one who wants me, and there’s no one who will. Which is exactly what someone like me deserves, isn’t it?" A story about a broken boy, who is learning how not to break everything else around him.

Summary
It is the way of the Devil, to appear to men of faith in his most beautiful form, so that he might tempt them towards corruption. Erwin does not think Levi himself is Lucifer; to assume so would be a cruel projection of Erwin’s own culpability. But perhaps the Devil has put him in Erwin’s path to seduce him to his own damnation.

Summary
"Levi misses Erwin in the margin between sleeping and waking. He thinks about Erwin when he steps out of a hot bath into cold air. He imagines Erwin’s new life, his new vocation, his new family, when the seasons change, or when he blows the candles out, or now, as the sun sets. The only space he does so is a space of a threshold. It does not feel good or bad. It does not feel happy or sad. Levi realises now, however, that this is not the same as it feeling nothing."
Six years after the War ends and they part ways, Levi finds himself at Erwin's door again.
