ANIMAL JOE

For years, Shou Murakami poured his relentless effort into G&G Gold, a major banking corporation. Rising from humble beginnings through sheer determination, he built a comfortable life and earned the affection of Rei, widely considered the most beautiful woman in the company. His hard-won success seemed unshakeable until the arrival of Kirishima Joe disrupted everything he had worked so tirelessly to achieve. Joe effortlessly outshines Shou at every turn, armed with striking good looks, impeccable style, a composed demeanor, and an imposing physical presence. The rivalry escalates from professional competition to deeply personal devastation when Joe wins Rei's heart. Pushed past his breaking point by this humiliating loss, Shou resolves to dismantle Joe's life by any means necessary. However, Shou soon discovers that his rival harbors a hidden secret—one that makes Joe far more resilient and difficult to destroy than anyone could have anticipated.
