Lucky for them, our hero’s already there.

Gian’s just a run-of-the-mill wiseguy, passing his time doing petty jobs for the family when he’s on the outside and living the lazy life when he’s in the slammer. But those easy days come to an end when he gets word from the boss: if he can break the captains out, Gian will earn a spot at the top of the hierarchy. 

Key Features:

  •  The flagship title of indie BL game developer, Tennenouji. Written by Jinnai (founder of Kalmia8, director of Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome and Fxxx Me Royally!!) with art by Yura (Hana Awase, Absolute Obedience, Enzai).
  •  A talented cast of some very familiar sounding voices .
