OVA
Description
Yukiya Ayase is an 18-year-old university student orphaned in childhood, leading to a solitary upbringing devoid of close family ties. His sole relative, cousin Tetsuo Ishii, betrays him by selling him at a sex slave auction to settle gambling debts. Loan shark Somuku Kanou purchases him for 120 million yen, enforcing repayment through coercive sexual acts priced at 500,000 yen each.
Physically slender and androgynous at 160 cm tall and 46.2 kg, Ayase possesses naturally blonde hair and blue eyes suggesting partial non-Japanese ancestry. His delicate features consistently cause him to be misidentified as female, unintentionally provoking intense sexual attraction from nearly all men he meets. He remains largely oblivious to this attention, frequently escalating situations into peril.
Ayase’s personality reflects his isolated past: gentle, naive, and emotionally guarded, he struggles with social interactions and expresses little. Initially an "Extreme Doormat," he prioritizes others' demands over self-preservation to evade abandonment—defending his traitorous cousin and submitting to Kanou’s authority. His forgetfulness surfaces as a recurring plot element, such as failing to recall aiding an injured Kanou years before their debt arrangement.
Gradually, Ayase evolves through the motto "you can go far little by little," consciously striving for assertiveness and sociability. With Kanou’s permission, he takes his first independent step as a kitchen helper at Someya’s okama bar, where he unexpectedly defends coworkers against yakuza threats.
His relationship with Kanou begins traumatically, marked by non-consensual sex and Ayase’s sense of objectification under transactional language. Yet he gradually discerns Kanou’s underlying protectiveness, particularly when offered familial belonging—a profound salve for Ayase’s fear of loneliness. This sparks conflicted but genuine emotional attachment.
Ayase’s core conflict stems from his desperate need for connection, which first blinded him to his cousin’s exploitation and now complicates his dependence on Kanou. His journey navigates emerging identity, societal expectations, and discomfort with same-sex intimacy despite deepening mutual affection.
