Set in a small community called "Roji" where Kenji Nakagami-one of the most famous novelists in Japan-drew the absurdity and passion of life since its inhabitants have been living and dying. There were beautiful men in "Roji" who struggled to live with the blood of the Nakamato Clan, blood called "noble yet unholy."
