Summary
In a fictionalized Edo-period Japan of demons, samurai and priests, Byakuya is a young samurai bound to the practice of wakashudo. An older samurai is expected to take his young apprentice as a lover, until the apprentice comes of age and in turn takes an apprentice-lover of his own.
In Part I, Byakuya is a young apprentice who is reluctant to make a lover out of Kenpachi, his boor of a master. But just when they finally come to understand each other, they are separated. In Part II, a priest named Renji comes to Japan, where he is shocked to see love between men practiced so openly. He tries to lecture Byakuya on the sins of sodomy, all the while fighting an intense attraction to the other man. In Part III, Byakuya has come of age and has taken an apprentice-lover of his own. But when a man from his past comes back into the picture, he's forced to make some unexpected decisions.
