This is the story of the manga's editor, Kurei Soichi. Once an aspiring manga artist himself, he now has one of the easiest jobs in the world... until he finds himself involved in one of the biggest cover-ups in all of manga history.

Love begins to grow beyond the smoke and vengeance. “Would’ve taken a better look if I’d known.” Destiny brings together a mysterious young man of fragile beauty and an investigator out for revenge! A murder case has brought anti-mafia agent Alonzo to Calabria, Italy, but his investigation has ground to a halt in a city where even the civilians are bound by omertà, the mafia blood oath demanding absolute obedience. Giving up isn’t an option when this is the only way to get revenge for his best friend who was brutally murdered in pursuit of these same gangsters. With his tension and impatience escalating, he scouts for a pretty face to help him let off some steam, and hits the jackpot with a blond-haired, blue-eyed young man who ticks all his boxes. They spend one steamy night together—or that was the plan anyway, until his one-night stand starts insisting on something more... An underboss of an Italian crime family who’s naive and beautiful? Can he really get away with all that cuteness? It’s a two-way chase you won’t want to miss!
Is there someone whom you desperately wish to see dead? If you want your enemies and rivals eliminated, free-of-charge and with no possibility of the crime being traced back to you, all you need to do is leave a message for "Usobuki Tadashi" in a certain telephone booth at a certain park. Soon afterwards, a black-suited man with cold, crimson eyes will meet with you and confirm the target. He cannot be prosecuted, for he kills through the power of suggestion and the clever arrangement of events. He will accept any request: regardless of whether the target is saint or sinner, and no matter how foolish, cruel or misguided the client… All with a mocking smile on his face that belies his quiet amusement in the face of humankind's never-ending folly.
