Netsujou Innocence

Hijiri is a highly respected defense attorney, while Takaki is a sharp and calculating prosecutor. In the courtroom, they are fierce rivals who clash over every case, but behind closed doors, their relationship is defined entirely by deep, unwavering affection for one another. The collection also follows Rio and his close circle of friends—Taki and the twins, Kai and Sora—navigating the complexities of their school days. In a separate story, Iori habitually lingers after practice to spend time with his boyfriend, Tsuguri, in the art room. Tsuguri is consumed by an obsessive desire to perfectly capture Iori’s likeness through sketches and sculptures, yet he continually struggles to achieve the flawless representation he envisions. Another narrative centers on Rio Nanase, a rising designer haunted by the guilt of allowing a childhood friend to fall from a balcony. His life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Keiichiro Nagato, the young owner of a penthouse Rio designed. Keiichiro brings him to an observatory against his will, forcing the acrophobic Rio to finally confront his past. There, high above the ground, he reveals the hidden truth about the tragedy that occurred seventeen years ago—a secret no one else has ever heard.
