Synopsis
Postwar male prostitute Tamao finds love again with Gorou, the younger brother of his deceased lover.
In postwar Japan, Tamao has lost the love of his life. Working as a male prostitute for a living, the money he earned went to the alcohol that he drank to make him forget the pain of loneliness. One day, Gorou, the younger brother and the spitting image of his past lover, showed up. "I came to see you," and was embraced with all of his might. At first, Tamao simply saw the shadow of his old lover's face, But then unknowingly, he came to want to know more about Gorou himself. Having lost an irreplaceable person, this is the story of the love reborn between the two of them. (Source: Kasakura Shuppansha, translated)
