Third floor of a shabby building, a late-night snack bar glowing pink and violet. Ranko Kiryu (31), the bar's mama, is proud of the glossy black hair she has grown for twenty years. Having lost the shop's money, she is hounded by a loan shark. Late at night the collector, a woman named Shima, pronounces: "Tonight I'll take the 'substitute' for your interest — not money, not your body. That prized hair." Her mother's name is on the guarantor line; there is no way out. On a bar stool under a cheap white cape, watched by her summoned mother and the young hostesses, the clipper starts at her fringe. Mown to a ragged crop, lathered white, then a T-razor bares her pale scalp one stroke at a time. There is no mirror — she can only see herself in the warped reflection of the liquor bottles. What remains is smooth bare scalp lit by pink neon. "You'll stand in this shop tomorrow with that head. Run, and I'll spread it all over town." Shamed into a shaved head, she opens the shop door again all the same. Full color, 26 pages / 110 panels. 1990s TV-anime cel style (neon-noir palette). A non-sexual work focused on the humiliation of the cut. No nudity. All characters are adults (20+); the shop and situation are fiction. This is the ENGLISH edition. A Japanese edition of this title is also available in this shop. Made with AI image generation. All characters are adults; everything depicted is fiction.
