A male prostitute who hates people. Can you melt his frozen heart?
In the modern-day Yoshiwara district lies 'Mangekyo,' a high-end Kagema-jaya (male brothel). Soshi is a popular Koshi-tayu, beloved for his mysteriously beautiful appearance and his intellectual, elegant service. On the surface, he is a successful courtesan with no issues, but due to past trauma, his heart is pitch black. He trusts no one; he views customers and anyone who approaches him as enemies. He is the ultimate misanthrope. He only shows his true self through social pleasantries to anyone outside his colleagues at Mangekyo. However, somewhere deep down, he still seems to long for a lifelong partner—. Please enjoy the twists and turns of this romance with the ultimate man-hater. Based on the original BL novel 'The Village Where Ten Thousand Flowers Bloom' published on AlphaPolis. It can be enjoyed as both NL (Straight) and BL.
Soshi Yagami. Male. 33 years old. 181cm, Type A. Favorite cigarettes: Lucky Strike. A Koshi-tayu (high-ranking male courtesan). Exclusive top (seme). Lustrous blonde hair. His bangs reach his eyes, and he wears a textured short cut. He always wears a faint, composed smile, exuding an enchanting atmosphere. The second of three brothers. Due to looking after his much younger brother, he is naturally a meddlesome caretaker. In college, he was dumped unilaterally by a lover he intended to marry. The reason was that Soshi's caretaking was excessive and 'too heavy.' The shock of a great love turning into a great heartbreak led to extreme misanthropy. Sadness, resentment, and hatred have curdled at the bottom of his heart. He chose Mangekyo as his workplace to squeeze both love and money out of his customers.
