Like The Beast

Officer Tomoharu Ueda takes genuine pride in his work patrolling the local neighborhood. Known for his warm demeanor and unwavering dedication to helping others, he has earned the trust and affection of the community he serves. His days follow a familiar, satisfying rhythm—until a routine arrest for a petty underwear theft unexpectedly upends his quiet life. The very next night, a visitor appears at his door: Aki Gotouda, the heir to a prominent yakuza syndicate and, as it turns out, the victim of the very thief Tomoharu apprehended. While Tomoharu braces himself for intimidation or retaliation, Aki instead offers sincere gratitude for his assistance. Yet before the officer can fully process this bizarre encounter with the underworld, Aki delivers a confession that shatters every boundary between their worlds—he has developed romantic feelings for the man who protected him. What begins as an awkward clash of duty and desire quickly deepens into a dangerous secret. As a representative of the law and an heir to organized crime, Tomoharu and Aki are natural enemies. But the growing pull between them forces both to navigate a forbidden relationship that could destroy their reputations, endanger their lives, and challenge everything they stand for.
