Sotenbori Substories

— Kiryu's Debut as a Model?

While walking across Iwao Bridge, Kiryu is spotted by a man who asks him, "Why not try being a model?" It seems the model who was supposed to be photographed has disappeared, and he is looking for someone to take his place. He strongly suggests that Kiryu is the perfect match for that model's image, and Kiryu accepts the job. At the photo location, art director "Poison Mitsuo" is waiting for him. It seems he organizes unconventional photo shoots to capture true human instinct and nature. Kiryu learns this but still accompanies the man to the photo shoot. However...
