Synopsis
Dark, interconnected tales of homeless friend, impotent novelist, and shady dealings, with gay film summaries.
The main story is of a man who lets a homeless friend stay at his place. There's plenty of rumors about said friend; is there truth in any of it, or is he really a big liar? Interspacing the chapters where the mangaka summarizes three gay films (one per chapter) is the story of a man whose novelist lover is impotent. For the last chapter, a guy gets involved when his friend is in trouble with a shady organization. None of the stories are light-hearted, and indeed, most of them are dark in nature.
