Inokashira Gargoyle

D믭 the "Gargoyle" of the Inokashira Park police station due to his intimidating glare, Toshiyuki Saejima appears to be a man defeated by life. For all intents and purposes, he remains inexperienced in romance, relying strictly on paid companionship to navigate his personal life. Yet, this current state of stagnation stands in stark contrast to his past; during his high school years, Toshiyuki was widely feared as a formidable delinquent, a far cry from the pitiful figure he has now become. His routine existence is upended when he crosses paths with Shizuka Arimori, a striking young woman who carries herself with an open, uninhibited confidence regarding her sexuality. Toshiyuki soon discovers that Shizuka possesses a shadowed past as a high-class escort who has serviced over a thousand men, having initially entered the profession out of devotion to an abusive partner. Having finally recognized the destructive nature of that relationship, she has resolved to leave the industry behind for good. When Shizuka becomes the target of relentless harassment, the dormant spirit of Toshiyuki's youth reawakens. Stripping away his current apathy, he channels his long-suppressed, aggressive instincts once more, determined to protect the woman who has become the center of his world.
