Please

Sakura first encounters Ryoichi at a male brothel and purchases his services for the night. What begins as a one-night stand evolves into a more stable relationship based on money. As their bond deepens, both struggle to find the courage to admit that their feelings transcend mere physical attraction and financial transactions. Their lives start to change in unexpected ways.

Included as a bonus story, Ryu is a tough yet troubled young man from Osaka trying to overcome his difficult past. When an American shows interest in him, it raises the question of whether their connection will evolve into something more than just friendship.
