Reina, a nineteen-year-old single mother, was raped and impregnated while in high school. She chooses to keep the child and lives with her mother, who works to support both of them. Reina falls in love with Akira, a cosmetic artist, but when she tells him that she was raped, he breaks up with her. To make matters worse her mother is hospitalized due to exhaustion and her daughter falls down a flight of stairs resulting in the loss of her sight. Now that all hope seems lost, will Reina be able to survive or will the reality of the cruel world prove to be too much for her?
Young Tomeki is a poor orphan girl that is sold to a brothel in the Red Light District. In a world of courtesans and nameless men, she grows from an awkward, petulant child into Kyoha, one of the most prized Oiran in the entire district.
