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. (Source: Shousetsuka ni Narou, translated)
