Kooru Shakunetsu

When Hirose Katsumi learns that his father’s company is on the brink of collapse after their primary client, Mimuro Corporation, announces plans to shift to other markets, he persuades his reluctant father to arrange a face-to-face meeting with the Mimuro leadership. At that tense gathering, Katsumi’s quiet composure draws the unwanted attention of Yoshitaka Mimuro, the cold and calculating heir to the corporate empire. Yoshitaka offers a lifeline—the continuation of their business relationship—but on a singular, degrading condition: Katsumi must surrender his will entirely, placing Yoshitaka’s every whim above his own and complying with any demand, no matter how humiliating. Bound by the weight of his family’s obligations and the livelihoods of countless employees who depend on his father’s survival, Katsumi accepts the devil’s bargain. What follows is a harrowing descent into servitude, as he becomes little more than a possession to a man who views people as tools to be used and discarded. Yet beneath Katsumi’s submissive exterior simmers a quiet defiance, sharpened by the very cruelty he endures. As he studies Yoshitaka’s manipulative tactics and learns the art of psychological warfare from his captor, the once-powerless pet begins to sense an opening. The question lingers in the suffocating silence between master and servant: who truly holds the leash, and what happens when the prey learns to turn the predator’s own weapons against him?
