Michio Yuki appears to have a perfect life: handsome, intelligent, heir to a renowned Kabuki family, and a rising star at a major bank. However, beneath this flawless exterior lies a monstrous secret rooted in a childhood tragedy. During a trip to a southern island near Okinawa, he was the sole survivor of a poison gas leak from a foreign military facility, an incident that killed all other inhabitants and was swiftly covered up by the authorities.
The exposure to the nerve agent, known as MW, destroyed his conscience. Now, fifteen years later, Yuki leads a double life, climbing the social ladder in finance and politics by day while committing brutal murders by night, often using his Kabuki skills in female impersonation to disguise himself. His crimes are not mere random acts; they are steps toward a far more terrifying goal: obtaining MW, the ultimate weapon that stole his humanity.
Only two men hold any hope of stopping his rampage: a determined public prosecutor trying to build a case, and Iwao Garai, a tormented Catholic priest who shares Yuki's dark past and is trapped in a complex, intimate relationship with him.
