So Serious Manhua

Title: So Serious In the bustling city of Tokyo, where the neon lights never seem to dim, lived a man named Kaito. He was the epitome of indifference, spending his days immersed in crossword puzzles and oblivious to the chaos outside his small apartment. His only companion was a neglected plant, withering away in a forgotten corner. One fateful evening, Kaito's mundane existence was shattered when a group of terrorists stormed into his apartment, mistaking it for the hideout of a prominent politician. Before he could even process what was happening, Kaito found himself bound and gagged, staring down the barrel of a gun held by a masked assailant. As the hours ticked by, Kaito's captors debated on their next move. To pass the time, one of them picked up a crossword puzzle left unfinished on the table. Intrigued by the challenge, they invited Kaito to join in. Despite the dire circumstances, Kaito's competitive spirit ignited, and he found himself fully immersed in the game. As the night wore on, a strange camaraderie developed between Kaito and his captors. The initial tension gave way to laughter and shared moments of triumph as they worked together to solve the crossword. And amidst the chaos and uncertainty, Kaito discovered a glimmer of connection he never thought possible. In the early hours of the morning, the police stormed in, rescuing Kaito and apprehending the terrorists. But as Kaito walked out of his apartment, free once more, he couldn't shake off the bittersweet feeling that lingered in his heart. For in those fleeting moments of captivity, he had found a sense of purpose and companionship he had long yearned for. And as he looked back at his now wilted plant, a small smile tugged at his lips. The world outside may be harsh and unforgiving, but within the confines of his apartment, amidst guns and crosswords, Kaito had found a moment of unexpected serenity.
