Aoi Mashiro

Aoi Mashiro's unexpected journey into the world of Kyoto antiques began when she sought to sell heirlooms left by her late grandfather, leading to a fateful encounter with renowned appraiser Kiyotaka Kato. Invited to work part-time at the antique shop 'Kura', Aoi quickly distinguished herself through an innate ability to sense the true worth of ancient objects—a gift the experts call the 'crystal-clear eye'. Through resolving one intriguing client request after another, her honest and straightforward nature forges a profound bond with Kiyotaka, and she steadily evolves from a curious newcomer into a budding apprentice with a genuine connoisseur's eye.
