Synopsis
Reborn as a girl in male courtesan district, she navigates otome game world while supporting her found family.
When I came to, I found myself in an unfamiliar world surrounded by people wearing traditional kimonos. Looking into the river water, I was shocked to see the reflection of a young child staring back at me - and that child was me! The place where I washed ashore was the vibrant and colorful district of Yoshiwara, but something was different from what I expected. Behind the lattices, the figures appeared to be men rather than women. An elderly man from a brothel called the "Amazuki Brothel" took me in. This establishment existed in a unique red-light district where men served as courtesans, known as yuudan. Given the name Nogiku, I was tasked with assisting behind the scenes while hiding from the female clientele. Despite being a girl, I found myself receiving the same training as these male courtesans - though I certainly had no interest in learning how to seduce women! As I grew up among these handsome men who became like brothers to me, I began to realize that this world felt strangely familiar. Though I couldn't remember my past life, I recognized this as the setting of an otome game I had once played. Now living as Nogiku, I was determined to forge my own path in this unusual world, supporting those around me while staying true to myself.
When I noticed, I was surrounded by a bunch of people wearing kimonos. When I looked into the river water, what was there was a young child... Eh, it's me!? The place where I washed ashore was a gaudy neighborhood, Yoshiwara. Huh? But it looks like the ones behind the lattice are men. The one who picked up the still young me from that strange place was an old man from a brothel called the "Amazuki Brothel." The place I was brought to was a red light district filled with men. It seems that over here, men who had no choice but to become prostitutes were called yuudan (male courtesan). Then I was given the name Nogiku and made to hide from the female customers and provide assistance. For some reason I was also given courtesan training, but I'm not male!! I don't want to learn how to seduce women!! However, when I became 16 I looked at the handsome men who'd grown up with me as comrades and realized. This was the world of "Seeing a Dream Male Courtesan District: A Night Spent Together." I couldn't even recall about myself but for some reason I remembered that I had played that game. Nogiku was that otome game's villain character. She got in the way of the protagonist's love who sought to get closer to the men, and in the end she would even kill, she was a woman who wasn't choosy with her methods. Because she was that type of woman she was given hellish punishment by the protagonist and company, but... I don’t want thaaat! I won't interfere. I can only consider my fellows as older brothers, as something like comrades in arms!! I intend to help stealthily from the shadows.
