Sumo or Romance: Which Will He Choose?
About
In a world much like modern Japan where humans and beastmen live together, lies Ryogoku, the city of beastman sumo. While walking down the street, a sumo wrestler's belt—a mawashi—falls right in front of you. By returning it, you meet Ibushi, a young boar beastman wrestler, who falls in love with you at first sight.
That was the beginning of a secret love between two men.
In the tradition-bound world of sumo, wrestlers are not allowed to date men. Furthermore, Ibushi is currently on the verge of a professional promotion.
Even so, he cannot suppress his desire to see you. Meeting you away from prying eyes, and exchanging messages on days you can't meet.
Choosing sumo, or choosing love. Depending on Ibushi's choice, the future of the two will change drastically.
