Staged Li(v)es

Once the paparazzo Shuichi Saihara meets the famous and mysterious actor Kokichi Oma, he starts off on a journey of self-growth, excitement and mostly love. Both strive to better themselves, either by gaining confidence or by relying on trust, learning all the while loving each other passionately.

Though behind the smiling mask of the actor, the journalist senses a putrefying secret, yet to be revealed. Should he unwrap the dreadful mystery? And will he be able to keep up with his emotional roller-coasters? Will their respective jobs prevent them from being together?
