Athlete

In the fast-paced world of Tokyo's Shinjuku Ni-chōme gay district, a former athlete named Kōhei crosses paths with Yūtaka, a beautiful twink struggling to make a name for himself as an anime creator. Despite their vastly different backgrounds, the two men are drawn to each other, navigating a complex web of attraction, hurt, and self-discovery. As they delve deeper into their feelings, Kōhei grapples with his own sexuality and the realization that he may never be able to be with Yūtaka, who is gay-for-pay. Meanwhile, Yūtaka confronts his own demons, including a past relationship with his gay ex Atsushi. Will these two men be able to overcome their insecurities and find love in the bustling streets of Tokyo?
