Okane ga Nai

University student Yukiya Ayase is betrayed by a relative and placed at the mercy of someone else's debts. Moneylender Kanou intervenes at an auction, but what appears to be an escape becomes another form of captivity when he demands repayment from Ayase.

Kanou's attachment stems from an earlier encounter that Ayase cannot remember. Caught in an unequal relationship shaped by money and coercion, the young man struggles to understand his creditor's motives and recover control over his own life.
