Debt-ridden Shiki shelters famous model Tenma, who pays his debts and demands "service" while moving in together.
Due to having to pay the debts of a lover who disappeared, Shiki is destined to live in poverty.

Tenma quickly hands the debt collector a large sum of money in front of a surprised Shiki and tells him "Provide service with that body—that I bought!!" and moved into the 1K (1 room + kitchen) apartment where they started living together. Why is such a famous person living in my apartment...!? Despite being bewildered, Shiki looks after Tenma!? (Source: Tokuma Shoten, translated)
