Taichii Minoru never imagined he'd live a life beyond his own. A quiet high school graduate with no plans for university, he found more solace in manga than in real life, losing himself in the emotional twists and turns of each story. His favorite, though, was a particular NTR manga that he could barely stand. The protagonist, Yuta Arata, a genuinely good-hearted guy, seemed destined to lose the girl, Hana Karuizawa, to a ruthless antagonist: Kurou Akuma. Kurou was everything Taichii despised-manipulative, spoiled, and with a past marred by darkness and anger. The mere sight of him in the manga filled Taichii with frustration. But one day, after reading a particularly enraging chapter where Kurou gets the upper hand, Taichii is hit by a truck on his way home. Instead of dying, he wakes up in the world of that very manga... as Kurou Akuma. Now, Taichii finds himself forced to play the part of the villain he once hated. He's thrown into Kurou's life, forced to experience the trauma of a broken family, an abusive father, and the painful memories that made Kurou who he is. Taichii must navigate Kurou's reputation as a delinquent, his instinct to take whatever he wants, and the weight of his own conscience. Will Taichii embrace the role, taking Hana from Yuta as the plot demands, or will he try to change Kurou's fate, redeeming the "bad boy" in a way that defies the story's dark twists? In a world where he's the villain everyone loves to hate, Taichii will have to decide: Can he rewrite the story, or will he become the monster he once despised?
