West or East,
Which side are you on?
2004, Japanese gangsters of the Yakuza have occupied LA. The police have been corrupted for years, as they have created an alliance with the Yakuza in return for the partial authority over citizens. In reality, the Yakuza are the ones who control the entirety of L.A. Especially the two top groups, gang of the West; 朧ゲ (Oboroge) and 鮮明 (Senmei); gang of the East.
​
Kaya is the son of the head and inheritor of 朧ゲ.
He is assigned a mission with his fiancé, Nami to kidnap the rival group's most precious "possession", the gang leader's lover. He is soon betrayed by her and is engulfed in flames with the lover Higan. As he awakes, he faces Higan in the mirror, his soul has been trapped in her body. Not only that but two enemies, they would communicate in her conscience. This is a story of good and bad, or is there no good nor bad?
