5By SpiffyPigA brutal Korean thug has been injured is helped to heal by a gentle Japanese man. Over time, the miracle of love works its magic and slowly brings a tenderness into their lives. The Korean continues to pursue his criminal ways while the Japanese man artistically brews a variety of teas at his small shop. At the end, the thug has been softened, and the gentle man had become vengeful demon. Yes, I loved this well written adventure.
