I'm a Barterman, Not a Babysitter: Volume 1

By HIME .

Dark fantasy ranobe meets psychological fiction. A story about trauma, survival, and family formed against all odds. For readers drawn to introspective, character-driven journeys, slow-burn platonic bonds, and morally grey protagonists.

***

Leif didn't want a companion-least of all a needy child. But when a mysterious girl with uncontrollable magic ends up in his care, their journey spirals into something far more dangerous than he ever imagined. As war brews and ancient legends stir, Leif is forced to confront the guilt, silence, and shame he's spent his life trying to bury. Henri may be small, but her presence begins to chip away at the walls he's built to survive. In a world where difference is punished and haunting memories refuse to stay in the past, their bond might be the only thing left holding Leif together-even if it shatters him to face it.
