OVA
Description
Kouji Nanjo is the youngest son of the wealthy, influential Nanjo family, operators of a renowned kendo dojo. Favored by his father over older brothers Hirose and Akihito, this preference bred lasting resentment. His mother, Ayako, was a teenage actress; their May-December romance resulted in his birth, but physical and mental health complications prevented her from raising him. He lived with a manager until age three before joining the Nanjo household, an unstable start fostering his emotionally detached and cold demeanor.
Standing 191 cm tall and weighing 78 kg, he possesses a striking appearance marked by long white hair. He mastered martial arts including judo, kendo, karate, and aikido. Professionally, he abandoned formal education for rock music, achieving huge success as an idol singer known for haunting vocals and intense stage presence. This career exposed him prematurely to adult environments, reinforcing his cynical worldview. Despite fame, profound inner emptiness fueled self-destructive tendencies like heavy drinking and leading a motorcycle gang.
His life shifted when soccer prodigy Takuto Izumi rescued him from a drunken stupor in a rain-soaked alley. Recovering at Izumi's home, Kouji recognized him as the person he fell in love with six years prior after witnessing his ferocity on a soccer field – though initially mistaking Izumi for a girl. Realizing his error intensified Kouji's feelings into an all-consuming obsession. He declared he was not gay but experienced single-target sexuality exclusively toward Izumi, stating, "I am only in love with Takuto. Even if you were twins, I could only love Takuto."
This obsession manifested destructively: he stalked Izumi, interfered with his soccer career, and exposed Izumi's traumatic family history involving maternal filicide and suicide to the media. In jealous rages, he raped Izumi's girlfriend Minako and attempted to rape Izumi himself. Volatile emotions escalated when Izumi withdrew affection, culminating in a near-fatal motorcycle accident that temporarily cost Kouji his singing voice. His family exacerbated conflicts; brother Hirose orchestrated a rape against Izumi to sabotage their relationship, prompting Kouji to sever his own left arm in a drastic bid to protect Izumi from further familial persecution.
Despite these violent tendencies, he demonstrated unexpected compassion for animals, particularly dogs, and formed a genuine friendship with his manager Katsumi Shibuya, who remained loyal after Kouji showed kindness to Shibuya's dying sister Madoka. His relationship with Izumi evolved from hostility to mutual, turbulent devotion. Izumi eventually reciprocated his feelings, acknowledging Kouji's relentless pursuit as central to their bond. Kouji ultimately prioritized this relationship above all else, including his music career and family legacy, symbolizing a shift from hollow fame to personally defined fulfillment.
