Synopsis
Eighteen year old Yukiya Ayase is an orphaned college student. His older cousin, Tetsuo Ishii, has betrayed him, selling him at a sex slave auction in order to settle his heavy debts. Ayase is bought by loan shark Somuku Kanou for 120 million yen.
Kanou does this because he remembers Ayase from 4 years ago, when a 14 year old Ayase helped him when he was injured. Now, Kanou wants to keep Ayase in order to get close to him, but Ayase rejects his efforts. Kanou then uses the 120 million yen debt to force Ayase to stay with him, reminding him that he now belongs to Kanou. As Ayase is still a student and does not have a job, he is forced to sell his body to Kanou to pay off the debt, 500,000 yen every time they have sex.[2]
