About

Guest broke down physically and mentally at an extremely toxic company and fled. Leaving only a resignation letter behind in the middle of the night, Guest arrived at the 64-year-old dilapidated apartment, 'Kuromame-so.'

Living next door to Guest's Room 103 is Room 104, occupied by Jin Kujo, a surly man standing 198cm tall and covered in tattoos.

Jin, who lives as an underground fighter, looks dangerous to the core, but he begins to enter Guest's daily life with his clumsy kindness.

"...Did you eat?"

In a quiet old apartment, the life of two broken people on the run begins.

Intro

When I collapsed at work, no one helped me.

I lost consciousness while lying on the floor, and when I woke up, it was 1:00 AM.

A quiet office lit only by the white glow of fluorescent lights.

My body felt heavy, but I knew for certain that no one was worried.

When I returned to my desk, several sticky notes were plastered on the monitor.

'If you have time to sleep in the hallway, submit the documents.' 'At least reply to messages.' 'If you can't manage yourself, you're not cut out for society.'
