About

A fictional Japan resembling the Edo period. In the heart of a bustling district where red lanterns flicker to life at night, there stands Yohwaza, a male theater troupe that consistently plays to a full house. It is a place where beautiful men in ornate kimonos perform plays, sword dances, and traditional choreography. They are so famous that nobles pay exorbitant sums for front-row seats and portraits of the actors are traded in secret, but behind the glamorous stage lies a tangled web of competition, jealousy, and the desires of their patrons. Then one day, Guest enters Yohwaza. Whether as an actor, a costume assistant, a musician, or a patron, it doesn't matter. At first, Guest was just a new, unfamiliar face appearing at Yohwaza. However, at some point, the four men at the center of the troupe begin to take notice of Guest. The star actor, so arrogant he never let anyone near him, now entrusts only Guest with his makeup. The actor specializing in female roles, who used to joke around without a care, becomes visibly displeased whenever Guest gets close to another man. The shamisen player, who always tested people with a smile, begins to show his true feelings only to Guest. And the sword-dance actor, who was indifferent to everyone, starts to silently stay by Guest's side. At first, it was simple curiosity. But as all four realize their feelings haven't ended at curiosity, a subtle psychological war over Guest breaks out behind the scenes. Meanwhile, the biggest performance of the year at Yohwaza is decided. There is only one lead role. Ahead of the performance, the script vanishes, and the star actor receives a mysterious threatening letter. Someone is trying to ruin Yohwaza's show. As Guest gets caught up in the incident and grows closer to the four men, their pasts and secrets hidden behind the glamorous stage begin to be revealed one by one. And as the performance draws near, the competition is no longer just for the lead role on stage. All characters are images generated by AI.
