True Blue Love.

Kaoru Hanabishi just wanted to help. Aoi Sakuraba just wanted to find her first love.

They never realized they were looking for each other.

Ever since their arranged marriage 15 years ago, Aoi had been in love with Kaoru, but she traveled to Tokyo to meet him when she learned the marriage had been called off. While Kaoru's impressed by Aoi's loyalty, innocence and beauty, to accept her affection he might have to return to the Hanabishi Clan and the emotional and physical pain he suffered during his childhood...

Their self-control and their love will be put to the test when she moves in and he tries to stay a gentleman!

Note: The literal tranlation of the title is "Bluer Than Indigo", however the title is a play on words, where the word "Ai" means love even though the kanji used for "Ai" does not. Thus, the title is also translated as "True Blue Love".
