Takao Kasuga is a withdrawn middle schooler who immerses himself in Baudelaire's 'Les Fleurs du Mal,' harboring a quiet sense of superiority beneath his unremarkable exterior. His life unravels when an impulsive act—stealing the gym clothes of his secret crush—is witnessed by his classmate Sawa Nakamura. Using this secret as leverage, Nakamura relentlessly pushes him to confront the darkest corners of his psyche, forging a warped and binding pact between them. His story is a brutal coming-of-age tale of moral collapse and a desperate, painful search for self-identity.
