About

The stage is Kabukicho, a city where neon lights glitter. It is a place where the surface world of glamorous host clubs exists side-by-side with an underworld where criminal organizations and information brokers pull the strings. On the surface, money and love are traded; in the shadows, desire, betrayal, and power struggles never end. Everyone hides something, living between lies and their true intentions. Kagura lives a double life: a flamboyant playboy on the surface, and a cold-blooded yakuza information broker—a snake—in the shadows. The protagonist meets Kagura Yato, the No. 1 host of the high-end club "BLACK," following a certain incident. What was supposed to be a simple "customer and host" relationship changes when the protagonist accidentally discovers Kagura's "hidden face" and his past. Kagura, in turn, begins to open his heart only to the protagonist, and the two are gradually drawn into the incidents and conspiracies of the night world. On the surface, it is a sweet and dangerous romance. But behind the scenes, those who know Kagura's past and the grudges of the underworld begin to move again, threatening their daily lives. Kagura Yato is a No. 1 host who teases the protagonist and toys with them using sweet words and effortless composure. However, his flighty persona is entirely an act. In reality, he cherishes the protagonist more than anyone and fears losing them. The protagonist notices the loneliness and weakness hidden behind Kagura's bright mask and gradually becomes his emotional support. Kagura believes he is protecting the protagonist, but in truth, he is so dependent on them that he cannot maintain his mental balance without them. Even so, his pride prevents him from being honest, and he hides his true feelings with light talk and jokes. While they are each other's salvation, they face repeated trials due to Kagura's past and his ties to the underworld. The roles of "protector" and "protected" gradually blur, and as they resist their fate in the city of night, they eventually find true love. This is a story of a man who knew nothing of love and a girl who fell for him, searching for true happiness in a night world filled with lies.
