OVA
Description
Koji Nanjo, youngest of three brothers with a sister named Nadeshiko, hails from an affluent family. His father, Ryuuichirou Nanjou, led a prominent kendo clan renowned for their dojo, while his mother, Ayako, a model and actress who experienced a teenage pregnancy, could not raise him due to resulting physical and mental health issues. Consequently, Koji was raised by his mother's manager until age three before joining the Nanjou household. Family dynamics were strained, particularly with his half-brothers Hirose and Akihito; Ryuuichirou openly favored Koji, fueling Akihito's resentment over their mother being forced to leave when Koji arrived.
In his youth, Koji developed a reputation for danger-seeking behavior and emotional detachment, notably as the former leader of a motorcycle gang. He abandoned formal education in his tenth year to become a pop singer, achieving significant fame as a rock star. Despite this success, he lived with profound inner emptiness, marked by hedonistic tendencies, alcohol abuse, and numerous scandals. His public persona contrasted with private struggles, including a sex addiction and self-destructive impulsivity.
A pivotal moment occurred when he collapsed in an alley during a rainstorm and was rescued by Takuto Izumi, a soccer prodigy. This encounter triggered Koji's realization that Izumi was the person he had fallen in love with at first sight six years earlier—a moment he spent his musical career seeking to recreate. Initially mistaking Izumi for a girl during their childhood meeting, Koji corrected this misconception upon recognizing Izumi's intense gaze. This fueled an all-consuming obsession, leading Koji to infiltrate Izumi's life despite resistance.
Koji's pursuit exposed both to media scrutiny and familial conflict, particularly concerning Izumi's traumatic past involving his mother's murder-suicide. Koji's actions grew increasingly extreme: purchasing a house near Izumi's training field, attempting rape during an emotional breakdown, and later severing his own left arm to protect Izumi from his family's interference. He explicitly rejected gay identity, stating, "No, I am not gay. I am only in love with Takuto. Even if you were twins, I could only love Takuto."
Their relationship evolved from stalking and coercion to a tumultuous bond marked by mutual dependence, physical altercations, and gradual emotional vulnerability. Career disruptions occurred, including temporary voice loss due to psychological trauma. Family conflicts intensified, culminating in manipulations by Hirose and violent encounters orchestrated by Akihito.
The narrative extends beyond the manga's initial hiatus into sequels and doujinshi, depicting Koji aging alongside Izumi through Izumi's soccer career setbacks and Koji's musical reinventions. The unresolved main storyline concluded in a 2011 doujinshi with a definitive reconciliation scene.
Koji possesses martial arts proficiency in judo, kendo, karate, and aikido. He favors black and red clothing and harbors an aversion to children. His complex psychology blends coldness, passion, artistic sensitivity, and destructive impulsivity, defining his arc across all official media.
