Heart Strings

A chance series of events brings Sakaki into Yuki's life as a paying client, and Yuki finds himself moved by the things Sakaki says. The warmth fades when Yuki learns that a brief, sweet kiss was only a game to the other man. Faced with that betrayal, Yuki has to decide what comes next, and the story urges him to hold on to his resolve and his hope.

At its center is a romantic contest between a yakuza gangster and the man who is playing his "wife". Each side tries to win the other over, and the back-and-forth of pursuit and pride drives the story forward.
