OVA
Description
Junya Mochizuki stands at the center of the narrative, employed at a computer company where career advancement drives him. His soft, handsome appearance draws attention from both men and women in his workplace.
He shares an educational background with his superior, Kazunori Honma, attending the same university, a connection that facilitated his hiring and later fueled his self-doubt about his qualifications.
His career trajectory unfolds rapidly; starting as a regular employee, he achieves a managerial position within four years. This ascent is secured through compliance with demands for sexual favors. He trades these favors with multiple individuals: Honma, clients like a company vice president met on a Niigata business trip, and later Mr. Sawagura—a soon-to-be company president with BDSM preferences. These exchanges are transactional, aimed at securing corporate contracts and climbing the corporate ladder.
His motivations blend professional ambition with complex personal dynamics. While initially expressing reluctance and denying homosexuality during early encounters with Honma, his participation evolves into a deliberate strategy. He accepts Sawagura's demands, fully aware of the benefits for both his own and Honma's careers. His relationship with Honma remains ambiguous, fluctuating between mutual exploitation and implied emotional entanglement, highlighted by Junya's taxi confession of attraction and Honma's jealousy towards other suitors like coworker Yohei Fujita.
Recurring dream or memory sequences depict his childhood experiences with an unidentified older male. These include vivid imagery: discarding a jar into water and swimming nude toward the man's boat. Within the narrative, these sequences function metaphorically, representing innocence lost and maturation.
His character development is contained within the original three OVA episodes. Key unresolved aspects include the true nature of his feelings for Honma and the precise narrative purpose of the childhood sequences.
