Scandala

Once hailed as a child acting prodigy, Haku Ogino now walks the halls of Seigun Gakugei High School—one of Japan’s most prestigious institutions—as a student in its elite entertainment department. Surrounded by classmates who are rising stars, active idols, and working actors, Haku stands out for all the wrong reasons: he has no current roles, no projects on the horizon, and endures daily mockery as the class's forgotten has-been. To his peers, he is a pitiful relic of a glory long past. But beneath that humiliating facade lies a shadowy second life. By night—and behind closed doors—Haku operates under the alias "Kanda," a ruthless and calculating mediator who orchestrates a covert network of sugar relationships among his fellow students. Connecting wealthy patrons with desperate or ambitious classmates, he controls the flow of money, secrets, and power from the shadows, profiting off the very industry that has cast him aside. Trapped between the sting of public ridicule and the dangerous thrill of his hidden enterprise, Haku must navigate a high-stakes double life where one exposed secret could shatter his last chance at redemption—or finally give him the leverage he needs to reclaim his place in the spotlight.
