Synopsis
Psychic host Tooru falls for idol Mizuki, uncovering hidden depths in their complex relationship.
Tooru Miyama has become one of the most popular hosts in Kabukichou under the alias "Mizuki." The secret to his success? He can read a person's mind by looking into their eyes, which allows him to be perceptive of his customers' needs. But that is not the only thing he is hiding: he is also a fan of Mizuki Hikawa, a male model who has recently been gaining the public's attention. When Tooru unexpectedly meets his idol in person, he finds himself drawn into a complicated relationship that challenges everything he thought he knew about the charming model. As their connection deepens, Tooru begins to uncover hidden aspects of Mizuki's personality that exist beneath his public image, leading to a dynamic that will test both of their boundaries.
