Kenji, who struggles with a lack of appreciation from his parents and his father's homophobic views, finding acceptance only with his sister. His journey towards self-acceptance is framed around his relationship with a new character, Malachi. The story seems to focus on themes of family conflict, the struggle for identity, and the transformative power of love and acceptance in the face of prejudice.
Malachi is described as someone who goes to parties, drinks, smokes, and has casual sex, never having fallen in love.
He feels unappreciated by his family, especially his father who blames him for everything and hates the fact that Malachi is bisexual.
No one sees his true personality until he meets Kenji.
Malachi and Kenji, despite being very different, become close friends and eventually fall in love, keeping their relationship secret because it is considered forbidden and risky by their families.
