I'm so confused...
I'm right beside you. The first thing I said when I finished was was "what??"
Boy is a delinquent that sometimes helps the yakuza. His "roommate" has a get quick scheme to steal a bunch of money. The yakuza they steal from find them and his roommate abandons him to be murdered. A prostitute picks him up, sorta befriends him (as much as you can in that world), and teaches him his trade. Prostitute is murdered and the boy inherits his costumers. It is very... stream of consciousness and an unsympathetic and unapologetic take at living in the underworld.
One thing I don't get is, why was Kirara wearing an eyepatch!? Was it just to cover up his black eye?? that just makes it WAY more obvious.
Yeah but blantantly showing a black eye is more noticible because if innately forces people to acknowledge someone is injured and thus unconsciously consider it unsightly. At least the eye patch stops him from looking particularly sick to his peers.
