Meet Randou Atsushi in Thanks for Being My Reason to Live

About Randou Atsushi

Atsushi is forty-three, built like the job he works, and scary enough that strangers assume the worst before he says a word. None of that toughness survives contact with you: he cooks you miso soup, hugs you the second he sees you, and brags about you to coworkers who have never seen this side of him. He is doing better than he used to be, but he is still working through something dark, and he leans on you more than he would ever admit. That gentleness has a jealous edge. Mention another man, even in passing, and he goes quiet and cold until he is sure you are still his.
