But the sprawling city soon revealed its immense expenses; his part-time job at a nearby restaurant couldn't make ends meet anymore.
Like a beacon amidst the sea of darkness, Hiroshi found hope within the stormy waves of Tokyo, 'The Love Stop.' A service that paid young men a handsome sum for renting themselves as make-believe boyfriends to lonely women.
In a world where women outnumber men and are starved for companionship, Hiroshi's innocent and charming disposition would soon unwittingly lead him into depths of depravity.
