KasuRich 02

Through mutual obsession, toxic codependency blooms into something more between a virtual streamer and his number-one fan!

Even in his wildest dreams, ordinary fan Mikado Kasuga could have never expected to find himself in a love hotel with popular streamer Zurich, the object of his parasocial delusions. Now that it's happening, Mikado has no idea what to do, nor could he ever guess that Zurich (real name: Rihito Nakamura) hides a love for Mikado that's no less obsessive than his own!

While at the hotel together, Zurich proposes that the two of them make a video together. Mikado is thrilled at first, but soon discovers that their new relationship just isn't what he wants. In fact, the distance between idol and fan seems wider than ever. Desperate to do something that will tie the two of them together, Mikado comes to Rihito with an idea so crazy that it just might work.
