The yakuza crime BL manga follows Kataoka, a young yakuza lieutenant, and his subordinate Odajima. After Kataoka takes drastic action that draws unwanted attention, his group sends him away until things settle down. Odajima accompanies him, entrusted with his care.
Odajima handles everything for Kataoka, from buying groceries to sex. He also has a darker assignment: killing Kataoka.
The first season debuted on Fuji TV On Demand in September 2025.
Akita Shoten originally collected the manga in a single volume in February 2020. The publisher later issued a two-volume edition, with volumes shipping in February and September 2025.
Seven Seas Entertainment previously released Asai's Alice in the Country of Clover: Knight's Knowledge and Alice in Twin World: Love, Storms, and Flower Clocks manga. Both belong to the broader Alice in the Country of Hearts franchise, which began as otome visual novel games.
