Owari Sen is a japanese charged with a life sentence for killing his lover's husband. He will serve his sentence in UGH prison, an US prison, where he meets Sword Fish, "the boss" of the prison gang, a black american guy. He becomes his lover, first to protect himself from others inmates trying to rape him, but then they fall in love together. Two main "villains" are Norman Haze, an ex-lover of Sword who firstly approaches Sen as a friend, but then stabs him in the back, cuz he still has feelings for Sword, and Mutou, the japanese prison warden. Mutou is a pervert guy who rapes Sen, and also indulges in voyeurism and degradation (insinuated). With all their cons, Shark and Sen succeed to escape from the prison and live together as fugitives by the beach. 80% smut.
Comments: A heavy manga, where plot is central, and emotions of the characters are a bit rushed. Has some heavy violence and it has the prison theme very intense. Too packed up. Felt bad for Norman in the end.
