Hero or sponge? Akira spots Oodoi being a hero and, afterward, collapsing from exhaustion. Impressed, he brings him home to nurse him back, and discovers a less fragrant and freshly pressed side to him. In spite of witnessing and, even, being on the receiving end of Oodoi's heroism, Akira remains skeptical. Oodoi isn't exactly forthcoming either.

Akira fell for Oodoi’s manly courage and took him in his apartment, where Oodoi found comfort and spent the majority of his time there. Akira thinks Oodoi's manly act is part of the past or a fluke as he get to know him... But then Oodoi heroism comes through once again when Akira is harassed by a gang to sell his apartment. Afterwards the truth of Oodoi being a yakuza comes out and drama ensues...
