Summary
1889, Paris.
Discouraged after some setbacks to his career in Tokyo, young onnagata Katsuki Yuuri agrees to travel with his kabuki troupe and a handful of other performers as part of a Japanese delegation to the Exposition Universelle in Paris, hoping for some time to decide what his next step is.
While he's there, star dancer Victor Nikiforov of the Paris Opera Ballet, on top of the world and looking for a new challenge, is looking for a protege. He makes a bet with a colleague that he could turn anyone into a sensation -- even someone as meek and unremarkable as that quiet young man with the Japanese performers.
Suffice it to say that he gets a lot more than he bargained for when he actually gets to know Yuuri. Not that he's complaining.
